This year’s March Madness darling has been decided.

It’s the footwork king AKA the vending machine magnate AKA DJ Burns Jr.

DJ BURNS IS REALLY THAT GUY 😤🔥 pic.twitter.com/cev7QKhIDy

Every day NC State stays alive, his legend grows. Yesterday especially.

  • He dropped 29 on rival Duke to advance to the Final Four 
  • He got a shout out from Nikola Jokic 
  • He made every tough shot

He’s also playing for the darling of the tournament.

  • Reminder: NC State was 17-14 on March 9
  • They’ve won nine must-win games in a row, and they wouldn’t be here if this didn’t go in ↓

Crazy that if Virginia just makes this FT or if NC State doesn’t make this miracle 3, their season would’ve ended here. Greatest story in sports right now. #MarchMadness pic.twitter.com/zIcYcWlixh
