Leading your team to the March Madness title then landing your face on the cover is Sports Illustrated is an undeniably cool thing to do.
But wearing a hoodie featuring said cover to your own championship parade? That's even cooler. And it's exactly what Shabazz Napier did Sunday.

Connecticut held a celebratory parade for its men's and women's basketball teams (both of which won national titles last week) on Sunday. Napier was the hero of the men's squad's underdog title run, leading the Huskies with his determination, grit and scoring ability.

Napier's fellow star guard Ryan Boatright brought a WWE-style championship belt to the festivities, which was also pretty darn cool:
