Mateen Cleaves is a legend when it comes to college basketball. He is Michigan State’s only three-time All-American and was the Big Ten’s player of the year twice. He led the Spartans to the 2000 NCAA championship before playing six seasons in the NBA. Mateen’s co-host is Justin White, who is a 7-time Emmy Award-winning sports broadcaster, host, and reporter.
