Tom Izzo has had a long history of developing players from raw athletes to elite performers and All-American candidates. His latest project, Coen Carr, is even drawing some recognition from NBA Hall of Famer and Spartan legend Magic Johnson.
Magic spoke to WLNS sports director Ian Kress this week about Michigan State and the topic of Carr's game came up.
The Spartan legend gushed over Carr's athleticism, saying that he's the best athlete in the country and he even went as far as saying that he's a better athlete than most NBA players.
That wasn't even the best quote from the interview.
