Audio Feature - Adreian Payne

Some stories are heart-warming. Some stories are heart-wrenching. This one is simultaneously both. Michigan State forward Adreian Payne fought through a tremendous amount of adversity to land at Michigan State where he developed a relationship with an 8 year old cancer patient named Lacey. They've become each other's inspirations.

I interviewed Bleacher Report's Jason King on Hoffman and Platt on 103.3 FM ESPN.
