Description

As a promising high school basketball player in Georgia, Jeff Sheppard was initially overlooked by Kentucky basketball coach Rick Pitino, who was looking for hardworking players to lead the Wildcats to the top of the college basketball world. But fate eventually brought them together and the rest is history, with the Wildcats winning a pair of national championships. Heart of a Champion tells of a ballplayer who wouldn't quit and whose hard work earned him MVP honors in the 1998 Final Four as he led his Kentucky teammates in one of the most memorable comeback stories in college basketball history.
