Will the King be crowned again? On this episode of "Current Sports with Al Martin," Al breaks down Game 2 of the 2018 NBA Finals, starting with the phenomenal shooting of Golden State Warriors guard Steph Curry. Curry broke a Finals record in Game 2 with nine made three-pointers. Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James and company did not fare so well. Al also revisits the conversation about J.R. Smith's late-game blunder, courtesy of a new video released on social media detailing the aftermath of that moment. In other news, Michigan men's basketball coach John Beilein has interviewed with the Detroit Pistons for their open head coaching role. Al explains why he thinks that would be a good move for the Pistons, but questions whether it would benefit Beilein.
