Timeline

1977

Mateen Ahmad Cleaves (born September 7, 1977) is an American retired basketball player.

He played parts of six seasons in the National Basketball Association (NBA).

1998

In 1998, while at Michigan State, Cleaves ran afoul of the law twice, both cases involving alcohol.

One night, Cleaves took a beer from a 7-Eleven while the clerk was in the bathroom, leaving money on the counter.

Cleaves was underage at the time and the incident occurred after legal alcohol selling hours.

He was benched for half a game, fined, and ordered to perform community service.

Later that year, Cleaves and fellow player Andre Hutson were arrested after being caught driving a car while drinking.

Hutson, the driver, had a 0.02 BAC, under legal intoxication levels, but Hutson was underage and charged under Michigan's "zero tolerance" policy regarding alcohol and minors.

Cleaves was charged with being a minor in possession of alcohol, refusing a breath test, and not wearing his seat belt.

2000

He was an All-American college player for Michigan State, where he led the Spartans to a national championship in 2000.

He has also worked as a studio analyst for Fox Sports.

Cleaves was a heavily recruited high school athlete.

The Michigan Wolverines men's basketball program took Cleaves on a recruiting trip 40 miles from Ann Arbor's campus which ignited the start of the major scandal.

Cleaves and current players were passengers in a rollover accident leaving a party in Detroit with strippers, alcohol, and drugs that also included a stop at the home of Eddie L. "Ed" Martin.

Martin's involvement in the party while being a Michigan booster and the distance from campus triggered an NCAA investigation leading to major sanctions against the Wolverine's basketball program.

Cleaves eventually agreed to attend Michigan State University, the University of Michigan's in-state rival.

He is one of the four MSU players from Flint, Michigan, dubbed "The Flintstones".

Cleaves, a three-time Michigan State captain, led the Spartans to the 2000 national championship, and was named Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four.

The school's only three-time All-American, Cleaves was named Big Ten Player of the Year twice.

He led MSU and the conference in career assists with 816, and is Michigan State's all-time steals leader (193).

In his final home game on senior night in East Lansing, Cleaves dished out 20 assists, breaking the Big Ten single-game and career assist marks.
