It’s an all hardwood finale for our Favorite Spartans Ever bracket.
Tournament favorite Magic Johnson squares off with the top two seed Cassius Winston to determine your favorite Michigan State athlete of all time.
Both men have had incredible impacts on Michigan State basketball, both on the court and off. Magic is one of the most famous athletes of all time and has a statue outside of the Breslin Center to commemorate his accomplishments. Winston is one of the most beloved players ever, capturing school records and the affinity of fans at a blistering pace.
They each cruised through their regions en route to the final four and made mince meat out of their semifinal competition. Johnson easily dispatched Kirk Cousins, but received his lowest vote percentage of the tournament at 73%. On the other side Winston blew out Draymond Green, winning 80% of the vote.
This is sure to be the toughest decision of the entire tournament for many voters, and that is the way it should be. So, for one last time, who is your favorite Michigan State Spartan athlete ever?
