Michigan State vs. Maryland Men's Basketball Preview, Cameron Maybin, Detroit Tigers Caravan, NBA All-Star Selections, Jarrett Walker, Current Sports TV Rewind, Kobe Bryant and Reflection Friday.

Happy Friday, and happy anniversary! Kobe Bryant's 81-point game took place ten years ago to the date, so Al and Isaac recollect their memories and the significance of that outing against the Raptors. Also, hear their takes on the Detroit Tigers, who stopped in town as a part of their Winter Caravan, and an exclusive interview with 'media darling' and Tigers' outfielder Cameron Maybin. Following that, were the All-Star starter selections right? Of course, too, Michigan State-Maryland men's basketball is discussed for the upcoming weekend, as a matchup between two of the Big Ten's best pits Al and Isaac against each other when choosing sides. Finally, the show ends with a Current Sports TV Rewind from last night's show with Jarrett Walker from Aim High Sports and a quick 'Reflection Friday.'
