Current Sports #498 | June 26, 2015

Current Sports

NBA Draft, Stanley Johnson, Ranting, The Confederate Flag, Branden Dawson, Current Sports Rewind, and Reflection Friday.

A smoldering show is what Current Sports closes the week on, with back-and-forth and callers galore. The NBA draft had opinions blazing, as Al and Isaac heatedly debate the merits of Stanley Johnson with Justise Winslow still on the board. Then, in a Spartan-themed segment, Al and Isaac preview the career of Branden Dawson with the Los Angeles Clippers, after a draft-night trade sent the 56th pick from New Orleans to LA. Then, the show rewinds back to 2013 to play a clip of Al's interview with Sally Nogle, MSU's athletic trainer who was just honored with the Tim Kerin award as the nation's best trainer. Finally, the show calms to a close with 'Reflection Friday'.
