7. Miles Bridges vs. 10. Raymar Morgan

Miles Bridges is one of the most exciting Michigan State athletes ever. It’s not often MSU gets one of “those guys”; the type of player that walks into the game, plays for 30 seconds and makes you mutter expletives to yourself. Miles was that kind of guy. Miles was an All-American, All Big-Ten, and Big Ten Freshman of the Year. He was one of the best players in college basketball both of his years at MSU and is so beloved because we got two years instead of one. Miles could easily have left MSU after his freshman season and been a lottery pick, but he came back. Very few kids do that and it endeared him to MSU fans forever. The 2018 team was absolutely phenomenal and cruised to a Big Ten Title. Had the NCAA Tournament gone better, Miles would be far higher up the seed list.

Raymar Morgan was the heart and soul of some of the best MSU basketball teams ever. He was always a solid contributor on offense, but his rebounding and toughness endeared him to MSU fans. If you ask me, Morgan’s graduation is one of the top reasons MSU took such a big step back on the court in 2011. Never the best player, or the most athletic or gifted, Morgan just got his job done by working his tail off. Those are the types of guys MSU fans absolutely love and remember fondly beyond their time in East Lansing. It also helps that Morgan played a key role on the 2009 runner-up team and the 2010 Final Four team.
