LOOK: Jaren Jackson Jr. calls for Michigan State basketball to build Cassius Winston statue

You could make a strong case that Jaren Jackson Jr. is the best Michigan State basketball player currently playing pro basketball right now, but on Friday, he called for the Spartans to build a statue for another MSU legend.

The College Basketball Report social media account posted highlights from Cassius Winston’s senior season Friday morning, to which JJJ simply said: ‘Statue asap.’

Fans, would you like to see MSU build a Cassius Winston statue? I’d say yes, if it came with plans to build a Mateen Cleaves one as well. It’s only fair.

Hunter Dickinson tried to have podcast host say he had better college career than Cassius Winston to come on show

Apparently, Hunter Dickinson’s stipulation to come on a podcast was for the hosts to say he had a better career than Cassius Winston…

In one of the most ridiculous stories I’ve heard in a while, the hosts of The Sleepers, a college basketball podcast, shared a story this week that Hunter Dickinson apparently told the hosts that he would only join their podcast if they publicly stated that he had a better college career at Michigan than Cassius Winston had at Michigan State…

Yes, that Cassius Winston, who was the 2019 Big Ten Player of the Year who helped lead the Spartans past one of the most hyped college basketball teams of all time (2019 Duke) in the NCAA tournament and is considered to be one of the best players in Michigan State basketball history.

Completely delusional and hilarious stuff from Dickinson.
