@notthefakeSVP shared his thoughts on the conversation around Tom Izzo yelling at one of his players.

[MSU Chief of Propaganda @OdellBretthamJr]

You may not like how he handles the portal, how he talks to refs, or that he’s animated but all Spartans need to appreciate how much Tom Izzo loves Michigan State. There is only one person who is there to fight for us every time we need someone in our corner. Thank you, Coach

@mikelacett @mywifeissohot @PolymarketHoops Are you hearing if miles is involved? Hope we don’t move Miles as his value here is irreplaceable. Appreciate your reporting over the years —You’ve always been the guy on top of his legal proceedings, LaMelo shopping, etc.

@iohandles If only you were as loyal to the Hornets as Miles. Enjoy Minnesota. @Timberwolves nation, you got yourselves one.

[Pegasus Donaldson @pegasusdonald]

@iohandles Good riddance. If only you were as loyal to the hornets as Miles. Enjoy Minnesota.

@_BryceWarner Trio should be Kon, Miller, and Miles

[Pegasus Donaldson @pegasusdonald]

@esidery You are such a fraud. He unfollowed them years ago. Can’t believe you even have any engagement.

[Pegasus Donaldson @pegasusdonald]

@iohandles You always have been a complete moron, but maybe you’re right for once. I know you’re trolling but Miles absolutely is an essential part of the team. Hornets nation doesn’t claim you. Go back to being a Thunder fan.

In May 2000, Tom Izzo was offered a 5-year contract from the Atlanta Hawks worth up to $4 million/yr.

One month removed from winning a national championship, the young coach had received a whale of an offer to join the NBA ranks.

Izzo’s MSU salary was $725,000.

Atlanta was offering to at least quadruple his salary, with reachable incentives pushing his compensation to 5.5x its current rate.

Wowed by the Hawks’ aggressive courtship, Izzo and his family traveled south to visit the team facilities.

Welcomed as heroes, they received a full-court press aimed at luring the Izzo family to Atlanta.

Their whirlwind visit concluded, the Izzo’s returned home to ponder the crossroads laid before them.

Acknowledging the enormity of the decision, Tom Izzo and wife Lupe agreed to sleep on it.

The following morning, Izzo called Atlanta.

He was turning down their offer of $4 million, and signing an extension with Michigan State for $1.1 million instead.

The verdict stunned Atlanta GM Pete Babcock, who had already begun preparations to introduce his new head coach.

“Tom was our man. We tried, but he wouldn’t leave Michigan State.”

Later that day, Izzo held a press conference in East Lansing to announce his decision.

A reporter asked if he might one day regret rejecting an offer to quadruple his salary.

“I won’t have regrets.

I decided to be a Spartan forever.”

JUNE 15, 2010

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.”

[MSU Chief of Propaganda @OdellBretthamJr]

Turned down multiple NBA jobs to make Michigan State his forever home. We will never see loyalty like this again. A real leader of men

[Pegasus Donaldson @pegasusdonald]

@HornetsReddit @ringernba In no world is Miles Bridges not a top 100 player. Absolutely ridiculous.

[Pegasus Donaldson @pegasusdonald]

@GovWhitmer You suck. Completely incompetent governor. Not only are you a terrible governor but you’ve managed to run Michigan State leadership into the ground. January can’t come soon enough.

[Pegasus Donaldson @pegasusdonald]

@HoopSector What a whack job you are. Sick lunatic suffering from Bridges Derangement Syndrome. If they didn’t want Miles, there have been plenty of chances to move off him. He is the heart and soul of the team

[Pegasus Donaldson @pegasusdonald]

Miles Bridges is our OG Anunoby. Essential piece.

[Pegasus Donaldson @pegasusdonald]

@comadreja_clt Miles is and should be the top priority as he is the only one that truly hits the open market next summer. Lamelo can wait, Brandon will be RFA meaning we can let him play the season out and have all the leverage.

@SmashKnowsBall Miles is worlds better than Rui. It’s important to appreciate what we have.
