Current Sports | 12/13/16 | #841

Marijuana for Pain Treatment in the NBA, Michigan Men's Basketball, Steve Finamore, East Lansing High School, Heisman Trophy and Lamar Jackson.

Keeping it real on "Current Sports with Al Martin," Al begins the show today on a dicey note. After Detroit Pistons legend Chauncey Billups brought up the issue, it's time for the show to cover why marijuana checks might be taken too seriously in the NBA. Then, the show covers the basketball scene all over the place, with Al and engineer Isaac Constans jumping from NBA to Michigan men's basketball. Bouncing on, Steve Finamore, boys' basketball head coach of East Lansing, courts questions about his team and mid-Michigan basketball. Finally, Al and Isaac give their brief thoughts on seeing Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson receive the Heisman Trophy.

WKAR has closed the gap left by the loss of federal funding. Because of you, trusted journalism, inspiring stories, and classical music remain freely available to everyone in mid-Michigan.
