Current Sports | 5/24/16 | #708

Berni Perez Photography

Toronto Raptors, Cleveland Cavaliers, Bubba Smith, Maurice Ager, Hip-Hop, Tickled Tuesday, Professional Basketball, and Michigan State Basketball.

On today's "Current Sports with Al Martin" the NBA conference finals so far have been insane. The Golden State Warriors are trailing the Oklahoma City Thunder 2-1, and the Toronto Raptors just tied up the series 2-2 versus the Cleveland Cavaliers. Al applauds the resiliency of the Raptors, but wonders whether the NBA is unjustifiably stealing the spotlight from hockey. Also, Bubba Smith's brain was dissected and CTE was found. Current Sports stays with that topic. Then, Al and engineer Isaac Constans get to talk their favorite subject outside of sports, hip-hop, with a professional. Maurice Ager, former NBA and Michigan State basketball player, now produces music and joins the show to talk about his ventures into both fields. Finally, "Tickled Tuesday" ends the show with a giggle.
