Former Michigan State men's basketball star and current Boston Celtics forward Xavier Tillman Sr. finally got to see the court in this year's NBA Finals when he played 11 minutes in Game 3 of the 2024 NBA Finals on Wednesday.
Tillman even scored a 3-pointer in the contest, officially inserting himself in the scoring column in this year's Finals. With this almost inevitable title -- no team has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit in the NBA playoffs --will become the first Spartan to win an NBA championship since Draymond Green of the Golden State Warriors, who last won the title in 2022. Green has won four championships with Golden State.
