A powerful and emotionally charged original Type I photograph capturing Jim Valvano and his underdog North Carolina State Wolfpack in the unforgettable aftermath of their 1983 NCAA Championship victory — one of the most iconic moments in sports history.

Taken by noted sports photographer Jerry Lodriguss, this approximately "8 x 10" image immortalizes Valvano’s euphoric celebration as he runs across the court searching for someone to hug moments after N.C. State’s stunning upset over the heavily favored Houston “Phi Slama Jama” Cougars. The photograph perfectly encapsulates the raw emotion and disbelief that defined the Wolfpack’s improbable title run — a true embodiment of the word “miracle.”

Authenticated and encapsulated by PSA/DNA as a Type I, confirming it was developed from the original negative within approximately two years of when it was taken. The image is crystal clear, with exceptional composition and contrast that highlight the intensity of one of college basketball’s defining moments.
