Barry Sanders is forever a legend in Michigan, as the Detroit Lions great spent his entire career with the organization en route to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Now, another Sanders athlete will have his opportunity to make his mark in the Michigan sports community.
Nick Sanders, one of Barry’s sons, is a sophomore shooting guard for the Michigan State basketball team who spent his freshman season as a bench player, without scoring in a game. However, Nick got into the Spartans’ blowout win over visiting Stony Brook on Thursday night, and he scored the first points of his college career with a three-pointer.
Spartans fans were clearly aware of Sanders’s milestone, and they went crazy for his first collegiate points.
