We discuss the NBA draft position of the Detroit Pistons as the season rolls into the final stretch. Also, what is going wrong with the Detroit Tigers? Or, better question, what is going right? We also touch upon the Floyd Mayweather and Jake Paul scuffle. 

On today's Current Sports with Al Martin we start by discussing the heated media day that was the Floyd Mayweather and Logan Paul fight. Logan's brother, Jake, decided to take Mayweather's hat, starting a scuffle that has now led to Jake being banned from next month's bout. Also, we dive into the Detroit Pistons NBA draft position. Al explains why the Pistons need to tank. We then discuss the demise of the Detroit Tigers and take you home with 'Reflection Friday.' Happy Mother's Day weekend to all the mom's out there!
