On this episode of Current Sports with Al Martin,  Al starts the show by paying tribute to Pernell Whitaker who has passed away at the age of 55.  Later we talk about the NBA's latest rule addition that will allow coaches to challege a call and the potential of a shortened NBA schedule and the effect it would have on the league. Tune in tomorrow when Al gives his thoughts on NBA point guard Russell Westbrook being traded to the Houston Rockets and whether or not he thinks Westbrook can coexist in Houston with ball dominant guard James Harden.
