1. Cassius Winston highlights

Since we will never see Cassius Winston play in a Michigan State uniform again (I know, it hurts to say), why not look back at some of the most incredible plays of his career with highlights?

You can go all the way back to his freshman year when he was just a pup, getting limited minutes while splitting time with Tum Tum Nairn or his sophomore year when he started to mold into a star, but his junior and senior season tapes were borderline unbelievable.

When you go back and watch his highlights, some of the stuff that he’s able to do is almost unreal. He can split defenders, break ankles, cross guys over, step back and make shots from anywhere. He’s an incredible finisher around the basket and he was playing his best basketball of the season with the Big Ten Tournament approaching, making 17 of his last 24 3-point attempts.

Michigan State is going to miss this kid and it’s unfortunate that his career had to end the way it did because he is arguably the most adored Spartan in decades.

It’s been a rough year for Cassius personally, but it just got even tougher.
