Kris Jenkins’ 2016 buzzer-beating national championship sneakers up for bid at Goldin
With March Madness in full swing, college basketball junkies will never forget the dramatic, championship-winning buzzer-beater by Villanova’s Kris Jenkins in the 2016 National Championship game.
With basketball legends like Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley watching from court-side, Jenkins hit a three-point shot at the buzzer to beat North Carolina for the 2016 national title. The shot is the only walk-off three-pointer in NCAA championship history.
The sneakers Jenkins wore during the historic game are up for bid at Goldin Co. during a special three-week auction during March Madness. The auction will run through the April 8 national championship game until Wednesday, April 10.
The photo-matched Nike sneakers are signed by Jenkins along with his number two and the words “The Shot” on either side.
The championship win capped a historic 2015-16 season for Villanova, which capped a 35-5 season. Along with Jenkins, the star-studded team featured such current NBA players as Mikal Bridges (Nets) and Knicks teammates Josh Hart, Jalen Brunson and Donte DiVincenzo.
