Greg Kelser’s Tales from Michigan State

Magic Johnson may be the enduring face of Michigan State basketball. Mateen Cleaves came to represent its heart while leading the Spartans to the 2000 national championship. But Gregory Kelser personifies the soul of the program. Kelser, of course, collaborated with Johnson to lead MSU to its first NCAA title in 1979. In this book, Kelser discusses his role in the Spartans 75-64 victory over Indiana State and Larry Bird and how that game triggered the surge of popularity that has imbedded terms like March Madness into Americas consciousness.
