LeBron James passes Michael Jordan on scoring list; Michigan State men's basketball practice availability; Lack of attendance at sports arenas; Detroit Pistons over Minnesota Timberwolves 

On today's Current Sports with Al Martin, Al weighs-in on LeBron James passing Michael Jordan on the NBA's all-time scoring list and why it was a bit "awkward" at the Staples Center. We then play audio from yesterday's MSU men's basketball media availability as the Spartans prepare to welcome the Michigan Wolverines for  a Saturday night showdown that will decide at least a piece of the Big Ten regular season championship. To close the show, we bring to you commentary from NPR concerning the lack of attendance at sports arenas across the nation and the Detroit Pistons topping the Minnesota Timberwolves last night. That, and so much more!
