The San Diego State men's basketball team made a Cinderella run to the national title game in April. It was a sensational run by Brian Dutcher's team, and the excitement for the season is growing as they held numerous events leading up to the start of the season. 

Perhaps the most memorable moment was Lamont Butler's game-winning shot in the Final Four game against Florida Atlantic. Now, Aztec Link is rolling out a unique NIL opportunity that fans will surely love. 

They are releasing autographed photos of 'The Shot' both framed and unframed on the website, butleratthebuzzer.com. The framed photos are $555 and unframed ones are $455, and proceeds from the sales will benefit both Butler and Aztec Link. 

The deal was announced by Aztec Link on their X page

Butler enters the 2023-2024 season with a lot of buzz circulating as one of the best two-way players in the game, and the Aztecs are a common pick to win the Mountain West and make another deep run. They lost some players, but after the run this team had, it should be another fascinating season in The Mesa. 

The famous shot by Lamont Butler sent the Aztecs to the national title game, where they eventually lost to Dan Hurley's UConn team. 

'The Shot' by Butler will never be forgotten by Aztec fans, and this is a terrific opportunity to collect a piece of history and support Butler in the process.
