EAST LANSING — Tum Tum Nairn arrived at Michigan State and immediately became the starting point guard on a Final Four Team as a freshman.
His greatest assist, however, might have come by giving up the job as a senior.
And that is saying a lot about Nairn, one of the Spartans’ rare three-time captains in program history who has been credited with everything from helping to recruit to getting Miles Bridges to come back for a second season.
