Tom Izzo announces he’s staying.
The coach rejected a five-year, $30 million offer from the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Surrounded by his players at a packed press conference, Izzo was asked why he turned down a deal that would have doubled his salary.
“Michigan State is where I want to be.
I’m a Spartan for life, and I’m damn proud of it.”
BREAKING🚨 Jeremy Fears Jr. is forgoing the NBA Draft and RETURNING to Michigan State next season.
The Spartans get back arguably the best player in college basketball next season.
I’m no coach but maybe letting Brunson go one on one vs Harden for the last 8 mins of regulation and OT wasn’t the best strategy for the Cavs.
Brunson is so fucking good.
