Speaker 1 (00:01):
We go.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Welcome, It's our num Berwane. Happy NFL Draft Day. It
is the twenty fourth day of April. We have spent
the last couple of months talking about this particular day
as we have run around in circles and here it is.
But here on this podcast we start out with pro
bouncy ball the Roquets. The Rockets crushed Golden State in
(00:26):
the NBA playoffs last night. How much trouble are the
Warriors in if Jimmy Butler cannot return.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
For this series?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
He fell on his Badonka Donk. They claim he injured
his tailbone. He's gonna have more tests later today. But
at the time we did this hour, we react to
what could be a long term injury for Jimmy Butler. Also,
what do you make of Golden States Draymond Green getting
into a shouting match with Houston's Fred Van Vliet late
in the fourth quarter. And we'll talk about Luka Luka
(00:57):
Dancik having a falling out with the new Maverick owner
weeks before he was traded. You find that significant. We
put the pieces of the puzzle together. We'll get to
all of that right now. Have a wonderful Thursday. This
is just our one.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
We have three more hours after this, but here it
is our number one. Well was a good plan? Didn
quite work out that way?
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Well come in the beginning of another night of the
Ben Mahlor Show. We are in the air ywhere waddling
as we give you less rock and more talk coast
the coast, border to border and beyond on the vast
(01:53):
and enormously powerful microphones of fsr mmnating from the steel
the steal of the first round. That's what Chip and
the Cues likes to say. From the Fox Sports radio studios.
We're hanging out and this hour made possible, in part
by tire Rack. For over forty years, ti Iraq has
(02:15):
been helping customers find the right tires for how, what
and where they drive, ship fast and free back by
free road hazard protection.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
I know ferg Dog's impressed by that.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
With convenient installation options like mobile tire Installation tire i
raq dot com, the way tire buying should be is.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
We are back at it again. Another night in the
NFL draft later today.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Whoa but we're gonna start out with playoff pro bouncy ball.
Why we are allowed? We don't talk much basketball during
the regular season, because the players stopped caring about the
regular seasons, so why should we care? Seemingly that they
do care about the playoffs, And it was the showcase
game of the night.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Deep in the heart of Texas is where we began.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
And oh what a night it was in Houston, Golden
State trying to snatch another road win. While the Rockets
were hoping that they would actually end the misery, they
got embarrassed in many ways. They were a country mile
behind Golden State in the first game, so trying to
even up the books. We know that was the setup.
(03:24):
So I I thought maybe he watched, but I don't know,
maybe he didn't watch. There were other stuff going on.
A Jalen Green playing the role of sniper. He was
a skunk in the first game. He stunk up the arena.
But on this particular night made not one, not two,
not three, not four, not five, not six, not seven.
(03:45):
How about eight moneyballs, eight three pointers for Jalen Green
and thirty eight points. Thirty eight points as the Rockets
get into the win column and they take down the Warriors.
These series is now one up, best of five. Golden
(04:05):
State has home court advantaged the seventh seated Warriors.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Don't bury the lead, my man. They were short handed.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
They were shorthanded, and then some as Jimmy Butler, the
butler did it.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Jimmy was not doing the shimmy.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Jimmy Butler leaving calling it a pelvic contusion. He landed
on his took us. It appears to be a tailbone injury.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
He was undercut.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
He was undercut by a Rockets player. There happened late
first quarter. Late first quarter.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Now that was not bad enough. Which was worse for
the worst because Butler left with the injury.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
The Warriors were also shorthanded as one of their role
players ran in Pajemski. He also had a problem with
his stuff. Oh my stomach, bad stomachs. So he pitched
a shutout I think play like fourteen minutes or something
like that.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
He was useless.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
So Game number three is on Saturdays, Saturday, Saturday.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
And that will be in northern California.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
So let us discuss the question how much trouble are
the Warriors in now. Normally, when you go on the
road and you get a split and you're the team
that does not have home court, that is a wonderful mitzvah.
But how much trouble all the war is in if
Jimmy Butler is down for the count and cannot return
(05:34):
in this series.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
So I've got general.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Electric, secret blend, and mechanical engineer, and we will combine
all of these things together, and we are going to
boggle the mind, is what.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
We're going to do, unless we don't.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
So a Jimmy Butler is the antithesis of the standard
issue NBA player.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Let's start with that.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Start with that, the modern ballplayer is a mister softy
in the NBA.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Maybe I'm wrong on this. I look at Jimmy Butler.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
One of the reasons I've appreciated watching him play over
the years is he's a throwback. He's a red blooded
American alpha male, and outside of his personal beef with
pat Riley when he held a wildcat strike there in Miami,
when I've seen Jimmy Butler play, it appears he's got
dragon balls and he's the kind of guy that would
just take some pharmacy great ibuprofen and suck it up.
(06:30):
So if playoff Jimmy is d O and E, then
this becomes a general electric situation that means you open
up the ge oven. There you take the warriors out
of that oven because they are cooked. And if they
want to bring in a motivational speaker, may I recommend
bringing in Nick Van Exell, who can say one, two, three,
(06:54):
can coon because that's where they're headed. Now, sure you
can have the next man up philosophy. That's certainly what
the warrior is going to do. If Butler's out, and
as someone that's injured my tailbone before and I had
to sit on one of those rings, you know the
things you said, the pads with the ring on it
because you can't sit down because your butt hurts.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Yeah, I had to do that.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Good luck coming back and playing at a high level. Now,
could Butler return as a decoy? Sure, But if this
is as bad as they're saying it is it maybe
they're lying.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
They lie a lot in the NBA. They like to
do that.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
They embellish injuries as part of the business of basketball.
But assuming he's an actual legit injury the way it's
being described, good luck being anything more than a decoy anyway,
So next man up that would be Jonathan Kaminga that
he would be activated. The problem is Kaminga has been
on the naughty list for the Warriors.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
I'm not even a Warriors fan, and I know this.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
I've seen the stories you've sent me, some of the
stories about how he's not in the rotation. He's just
been after games sadly shooting jump shots and empty arenas.
So he got his opportunity. He's been on the Natty list. Kaminga,
he comes off the nattylist. How did he do, Jonathan Kaminga.
He played twenty six minutes, had eleven points, three rebounds
(08:08):
to assists, and he shot thirty three point three percent
half the Sign of the Devil. It was unremarkable, unremarkable,
And so that's the guy at Butler's not able to
get going.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
That's the guy. Good luck with him being the guy.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Now, there was the moment within the moment here in
this game. Golden State was lurking in the shadows there,
trying to sneak up like a snake in the grass.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Even though they were shorthanded. They did get within eleven
at one point, which is still not all that great.
That's not all that great.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
However, around that time there was a rhubarb that took place.
So what did you make of Golden State's Draymond Green
getting into a shouting match with Fred van Vliet late
in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
So just imagine, if you will, in the cartoon bubble
over your head.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
There was some some back and forth and Draymond got
right there nose to nose, and if anyone ate garlic,
the other person would have been knocked out. It was
a doggie bag filled with historyonics is what it was.
By modern basketball. This game was somewhat physical. I do
(09:23):
not agree with the level of physicality that was described
by the broadcasters. Seemed like they were going a little
too far over the top. But Raymond Green and Fred
Van Vliet stood toe to toe and they exchanged naughty words,
naughty naughty words, and then they got separated, and it
was that secret blend of T and B, theatrics and bravado.
(09:44):
But it's fake bravado, as most NBA dust ups happen
these days. Yeah, the last real NBA dust up was
the Malice at the Palace in Michigan there with the
Pistons and the pacers, and since then they've all just
been nothing but nonsense it which.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Is likely better that way. It's probably better that way. Anyway.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
You had the standard fake tough guys, the teammates that
run over to protect the fake tough guys, and so
you could you can almost imagine Draymond as he's surrounded
by his warrior teammates.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Hold me back, bro, hold me back, bro. You know
that kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
And then you had the h Town crowd serenading's Raymond Green,
chanting f you Draymond more than that in a minute.
All right, now, last Warrior. We're gonna move away from
the playoff games. We get to the other matchups later on,
but we move on now to Dallas, because there is
what Ben, why would you go to Dallas? Do you
(10:41):
know the Mavericks are not in the playoffs? Why would
you bring up the Mavericks. Well, we go where the
news of the day takes us, and there's another chapter
and more chatter on the worst decision in sport that
took place this basketball season. So kick back and relax
and enjoy the tale we are hearing now. The reason
(11:05):
for the viral viral divorce, the breakup herd round Basketball.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Between Louka and the mav Rex.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Could that's a weasel word, could go all the way
back to a couple weeks before the transaction, which was
not a trade because the trade you get equal value,
wasn't a trade.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Was giveaway.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Before the Mavericks gave away Luca, we're now reading that
the new MAVs ownership tried to approach Donchik about conditioning
also known as hey, stop being a fat tub of goo,
Luca getting shape fatty And how'd that work out?
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Well?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Patrick Dumont, Patrick Dumont, No, nobody's chant chanting fire doomot.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Nobody's doing that. It's fire Nico.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Anyway, it's guy Patrick Dumont who won the not the
genetic lottery, he won the marriage lottery.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Through marriage, he now gets to own the Mavericks.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
And he had a less than positive some would call
negative encounter with Luca before giving the green light to
send his ass out of Dallas.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
So we'll frame it this way.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Luka Donzik had a issue, a falling out with the
new Mavericks owner weeks before he was traded or given away.
Do you find this significant? Are these two things related?
And I would respond to that by saying, is a
wildfire hot? Is a wildfire hot?
Speaker 4 (12:39):
Right?
Speaker 2 (12:39):
This sounds like a plant? If you ask, where did
this story come from?
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Randomly.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
I would say, based on my years of investigative talk radio,
it is more likely than not that this was leaked
by somebody who is connected with Nico Nico Harrison, who
has now held two horrific news conferences about this trade,
and it's likely it's like, hey, wait a minute. You
know this guy signed off on it, and he recommended it,
(13:10):
and so let's throw him under the proverbial team plane
as it's taxing for takeoff there, and so it sounds like, hey.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
What my fault. Dumont's the guy, Hey, my fault, blamed Dumont.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Now, if true, if true, the mav Rec franchise was
harpooned by a mechanical engineer, you realize that this guy
could have become an HVAC technician or a civil engineer
or something like that if your fine jobs.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Instead.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Patrick Dumont, who did get a mechanical engineering degree from
John Hopkins University there in Baltimore.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Go Blue Jays and then went to a business school.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
He married into the Adelson family, the gambling family. So
through marriage he married into that family, and the old
man died and he rose to the level of owner.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Of the Maverick. You talk about a hostile takeover, all right,
So we could.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Totally see Luca getting confronted by somebody he doesn't really know,
this guy.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Dumont, Patrick Dumont.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
A stranger, and Luca being a total dink with the
guy and the highbrow owner of the Mavericks who thinks
his poopy doesn't smelly and used to work at bear
Stearns on Wall Street going scorched earth and saying, all right,
this trade this guy and Nico Harrison. It's not to
say Nico didn't cheer for that to happen, but ultimately
(14:43):
a trade like this does not happen without the owner
giving the okay, and so it's just not possible.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
There is not a dimension where that happens. It just
doesn't take place. All right. It is the Ben Mahllor Show.
Speaker 2 (14:57):

So act accordingly and now back to it. What is that?
Speaker 2 (18:15):
And by the way, it is back to the Ben
Malors show. Let's point that out here. Late Night Drug
Tester writes in, says, I am sure that if Jimmy
Butler was playing with a wallet full of cash, he
would have had enough padding to prevent his injury. Yeah,
he should have attached a pillow to his badunkadunk is
what he should have done.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Then he'd be fine.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Supermarket Steve writes in, says, Ben, your monologue was on
point as always. Well, thank you, Supermarket Steve ck kind
as always appreciate that. Spock's Weed writes in and says, uh,
three point thirty three half the side of the devil
a fractional concept of evil. This is pretty interesting and
(18:55):
could have many great applications.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Is Draymond Green a four four or a five to
five five?
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Could Maverick fans consider Nico Harrison a full six six
six that is from spockxwed who is enjoying himself on
the Oregon Trail. He's enjoying the local, the local plant
there on the Oregon Trail is what he's doing, unless
(19:24):
he's not. What else were we see page down?
Speaker 1 (19:28):
I read that.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
All right, we'll take some calls here coming up in
a minute, but I wanted to get to this store.
We started out with the Warriors and the Rockets, and
also the latest revelations on the Lukea trade.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
A story that I absolutely.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Absolutely love is the peek a boo story from basketball,
and that.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Is Lebron James.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
You see this video one viral Lebron the other night.
There was a play where he was fouled. He was
obviously fouled, and he appeared to be rithing in pain,
just complete agony, like you thought he might be on
his death bed.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
We thought Lebron could die on the court. There might
be a chance.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
They might have to get out the corner because Lebron
was about to die. It was that bad, the way
that Lebron was gyrating. We thought the man might drop
dead right there on the court.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Holy crap. But upon further.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Review, when you look at the up close replay there,
internet investigators have discovered and uncovered the rest of the
story as many noticed. And I don't know who did
this first. I've seen several videos on this, so I
don't know who the first. I'll give him credit. If
I knew who the first person was that did it,
I don't know, not that it matters. So they noticed
(20:44):
that Lebron was he was down in the court, laying
on his back, and he's got his hand on his
face and his eyes and he was caught pick about.
Hey played pick about Lebron. Yeah, he was caught peeking.
He was checking to make sure the referees made the
(21:08):
call before he gave off the thespian performance. It's like
you're sitting there and you're watching a Broadway show and
you have to wait.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
You have to wait. The timing is key on that, right,
the timing is key.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
And so Lebron waited and then once he looked up,
he can kind of look up on the scoreboard there.
They have the monitors under the scoreboard as well, and
Lebron peaked.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
He peaked to see make sure you know the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
And and sure enough Lebron who a little too much
acting too much. Yeah, there was a broadcaster for the
Lakers years ago. He would have said too much mustard
on the hot dog and fell off and all.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
That overacting, overacting. But he did that to get some
foul shots.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
It was very amusing, almost as funny as when Anthony
Edwards the ant man did what about ism. Also, a
video clip that was sent in my direction by a
listener to the.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Show said, you see what Anthony Edwards did.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Anthony Edwards, to my knowledge, did not yell to anyone
in the crowd how big a schlong is. But Edwards
did attempt to hornswaggle a technical foul call on Lebron James, and.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
He did it with what about ism.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
It was the middle of the game and Anthony Edwards
was upset with the officials. He was upset and an
all things that Lebron was. Also he was the one
complaining first to you, as always complaining about some call
that was not made.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
He says, he says, now y'all want to call that.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Dumb blank blank and Edwards, Anthony Edwards came over there.
Fortunately no women were impregnated at that moment.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
From Anthony. Anyway, it was rare. I came over there.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
He started waving his arms and gyrating, and he yelled out, WHOA,
that's a tech.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
That's a tech. Right, yelled that out, that's a tech,
that's a tech.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
And uh he pointed out that when I do it, it's
a tech.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
And if I did that, it's a tech. So he's
doing the woe is me thing, and it was this
is amuse, It was amuse. It was amusic. Anyway, we'll
take your calls.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox is the number
if you want to be part of.
Speaker 1 (23:28):

Speaker 2 (25:19):
No, you wouldn't be able to see my tires.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
You couldn't find my tires. How about that yoga.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
I'm gonna stuff you in hot yoga, dude and make
sure you never came out.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
You'd probably like that, but I'm good, all right, thank you,
all right, all right, go.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
It's so stupid. This is so dumb. You know it's
not dumb.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
That would be the the play of the day, the
play of the day. Do we have the player of
the day here? This is very exciting, the play of
the day. And the great thing about this is nobody
tells me what the play of the day is. Normally
I'd set it up and say this is the player
that I have no idea, I just I guess. We'll
just play some them sound bite and then we'll just
try to guess.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
What it is. Here we go, Jaalen free point line.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
All right, met there by post slide steps D three
coming up on.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
The way rentles in Duge triple.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Okay, I don't know what that was. I guess that
was from the Rockets. I have no idea. I guess
that was Jalen Green. Okay, Well, well, run machine here.
Well the play of the day. That didn't seem that
great to me, but it is made possible by ti
i Rack. For over forty years, ty Iraq has been
helping customers find the right tires for how, what and
where they drive, ship fast and free back by free
road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire
(26:39):
installation tire i raq dot com. The way tire buying
should be. Let's say, hello, who do we have you? Let'
see any meenie mineumo. He's on the week off from school.
Andre in the Commonwealth, Hello Andre.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Welcome, Hello Ben, good to be with you.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Listen, strike, strike, strike, strike.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
Of the previous caller.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
That sounds like the Dallas Mavericks fans that are picketing
outside of NCO Harrison's office and telling and making it
clear to this man that he's gaging. Are sure you
know that that's the previous call. It seem to tap
into it which you began the program with. There's only
you know, what, what have you learned from that great
movie Traffic? You know what I'm saying, I'm dating myself,
(27:19):
you know, but the great movie. Right when the times
are tough, what do you do? You know, you sit
down and you take out one of the envelopes. Okay,
and what does it say in the envelope? It says
blame the other guy, which is what Nico Harrison is
doing right now, trying to put the blame onto the
ownership that it's not him. Okay, but it's not working.
So you know, when they have the second crisis again,
we learned great movie uh Traffic. Uh. The director gives
(27:43):
the name escapes me right now, but he did did
a lot of I'm gonna I'm gonna get it. But
what have you learned? The second time when he sat down, Ben,
he says, sit down, Nico Harrison and write yourself two letters,
because your time in Dallas is over all. Right, It's
just there's no living it down. This is all cast dating, okay,
and you can't owners can't fire themselves, Ben, right right,
we talked about being wealthy and being.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
There's only been there's been only been one owner that
has gotten himself fired and that was Donald Sterling. And
other than that, no one else has gotten fired. But
you're referring to the finger of blame, are you not right?
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Win in doubt?
Speaker 2 (28:16):
You have to know you have to know who to blame, right,
You have to know. It's called blame shifting. You have
to know who to blame. Got to have a fall guy.
Gotta have a fall guy. Chris Carter taught me that.
Chris Carter not in a movie. Chris Carter, Viking legend.
Got to have a fall guy.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
Indeed, you do have to have a fall guy. Steven Soderberg,
all right, I got it. You know, director of Traffic.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
It was a very important movie to you. That was
very important because.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
At that scene, you know what I mean, it said
it said a lot. You know, first of all, you
can only solve so many societies hill, you know, and
you know when it comes down, you know, you blame
this person. Then the second time, you're not making out
of the two crisis. Willis is here hanging out with
me for a little bit.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Oh yeah, Willis.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
We Alt said, we'd like to alert all the affiliates.
Willis is in the building. We have have Willis in
the building.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
In the building siffy snacker room. I don't know if
he's gonna be barking. He ain't getting hand getting a
snacker room, but he's focused. Maybe I've been by bad.
You know, time is short, so I don't know if
he's going to cooperate with the barking. But he's here.
You know, he's up. He's enjoying the vacation with me.
You know he's gonna be on vacation soon. Nico Harrison, Okay,
you know, get yourself ready. All right, here's here's I
(29:25):
think that the silver lining if we can have one. Okay,
you're not gonna find yourself in the same situation as
other famous broadcasters who are going to renew remain nameless,
but they're all over the headlines because of their antics
off of the you know what they're what they're doing, Nico,
go out with some pride, go out with some grace.
So go go out with some class. Okay, but it's
it's not you don't know. You don't need to fight
your way out of the situation. Just recognize it's not
(29:46):
on you, Okay. Ownership they had to initially sign off,
and you didn't do what you were supposed to do
is because you shouldn't have never made this. I don't
care what ownership was saying, but you're gonna have to
take the brunt of it and then possibly take four
or five years off he was alluded to. Ben. Let
me just conclude with this, he's not going back to
Nike because you know who's that Nike? You said this, Okay, well,
Lucas over at Nike, So that's not gonna happen ever again.
(30:08):
And indetus, maybe he might want to do that, but
just Nico, take the fall, take your money. Step away
from basketball for a little while.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Oh come, he'll get a job. He'll get a job
with the Lakers. What are you talking about? If the
Laker Jennie Buss, I'll hire him right now. But while
he's still working for the Mavericks, maybe she's already paying him.
I'm my god, he's like the employee of the year.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
For the Lakers.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Employ That franchise was going right in a sewer and
everyone knows it right the podcast Coach Guy sucks Reddick
Lebron's old thirty seven shots for forty points in these
two playoff games and the one saving Grace and it
might not even work because you know, he didn't play
much defense, but Luke, I mean, my god, ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
He goes to he goes to the Lakers, Benz, California.
What is that the fourth largest economy in the world is.
They're very proud of that. But here's the thing, Nico,
when you get your job with the Lakers, you can
never go back to the long Star State. Okay, you
know when to hold them, you know when to fold them.
You're never going to be welcoming Texas again. So just
avoid it all together and then right off into the
sunsetting holiday and we'll be near with you, Ben. You'd
be with Big Ben. Maybe he joins the Malin militia.
(31:12):
That would be the ultimate silver line. Okay, we can't
have thanks so much taking the call.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
Appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Well, yeah, well, I don't think he's gonna a He
would not want to do it, but he's made so
many bad decisions. He's likely got insomnia, Nico, and has
issues sleeping, So I would think he's in our demographic
in that regard. We do very well with people that
have insomnia and can't sleep right away.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
That's that's the demo. We are, that demo.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Yeah, for sure, Hey, comb to chaos with the shipping
software that delivers.
Speaker 1 (31:46):

also Factor Fiction and ask Ben. It's a lot to
(32:08):
get to and you gotta be a riginal, you gotta
be original. We'll get to that and a time now
for the who am I game? Alfred Shengon who. This
guy's really good. I've seen him play now, you know,
when you have a name like that, if I know
how to, I think I'm pronouncing it right.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
I've seen him put up some big numbers this year
for the Rockheads.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
Alfred Shengoon. He had seventeen points, sixteen rebounds, and I
believe you had to do it seven assists in that
game that was played against the Warriors, meaning he is
the first Rockets player since me to have fifteen points,
fifteen rebounds or more, and five assists or more.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
In a playoff game for Houston.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Again, Alfred Shengoon had seventeen points sixteen rebounds.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
That's good. That's good. Seven assists.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
He's became the first Rockets player since me with a
fifteen pointer better, fifteen rebounder better, and five assists or
better performance in a playoff game for.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Houston since me.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
Who am I? That is the question the answer. We'll
get to it and we will.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
Do it.
Speaker 1 (33:26):

Speaker 2 (39:50):
No, tipping Pippin' back in the dead Scotty not great
as a rocket, but Scottie Pippen
We go.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Welcome, It's our num Berwane. Happy NFL Draft Day. It
is the twenty fourth day of April. We have spent
the last couple of months talking about this particular day
as we have run around in circles and here it is.
But here on this podcast we start out with pro
bouncy ball the Roquets. The Rockets crushed Golden State in
(00:26):
the NBA playoffs last night. How much trouble are the
Warriors in if Jimmy Butler cannot return.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
For this series?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
He fell on his Badonka Donk. They claim he injured
his tailbone. He's gonna have more tests later today. But
at the time we did this hour, we react to
what could be a long term injury for Jimmy Butler. Also,
what do you make of Golden States Draymond Green getting
into a shouting match with Houston's Fred Van Vliet late
in the fourth quarter. And we'll talk about Luka Luka
(00:57):
Dancik having a falling out with the new Maverick owner
weeks before he was traded. You find that significant. We
put the pieces of the puzzle together. We'll get to
all of that right now. Have a wonderful Thursday. This
is just our one.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
We have three more hours after this, but here it
is our number one. Well was a good plan? Didn
quite work out that way?
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Well come in the beginning of another night of the
Ben Mahlor Show. We are in the air ywhere waddling
as we give you less rock and more talk coast
the coast, border to border and beyond on the vast
(01:53):
and enormously powerful microphones of fsr mmnating from the steel
the steal of the first round. That's what Chip and
the Cues likes to say. From the Fox Sports radio studios.
We're hanging out and this hour made possible, in part
by tire Rack. For over forty years, ti Iraq has
(02:15):
been helping customers find the right tires for how, what
and where they drive, ship fast and free back by
free road hazard protection.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
I know ferg Dog's impressed by that.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
With convenient installation options like mobile tire Installation tire i
raq dot com, the way tire buying should be is.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
We are back at it again. Another night in the
NFL draft later today.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Whoa but we're gonna start out with playoff pro bouncy ball.
Why we are allowed? We don't talk much basketball during
the regular season, because the players stopped caring about the
regular seasons, so why should we care? Seemingly that they
do care about the playoffs, And it was the showcase
game of the night.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Deep in the heart of Texas is where we began.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
And oh what a night it was in Houston, Golden
State trying to snatch another road win. While the Rockets
were hoping that they would actually end the misery, they
got embarrassed in many ways. They were a country mile
behind Golden State in the first game, so trying to
even up the books. We know that was the setup.
(03:24):
So I I thought maybe he watched, but I don't know,
maybe he didn't watch. There were other stuff going on.
A Jalen Green playing the role of sniper. He was
a skunk in the first game. He stunk up the arena.
But on this particular night made not one, not two,
not three, not four, not five, not six, not seven.
(03:45):
How about eight moneyballs, eight three pointers for Jalen Green
and thirty eight points. Thirty eight points as the Rockets
get into the win column and they take down the Warriors.
These series is now one up, best of five. Golden
(04:05):
State has home court advantaged the seventh seated Warriors.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Don't bury the lead, my man. They were short handed.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
They were shorthanded, and then some as Jimmy Butler, the
butler did it.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Jimmy was not doing the shimmy.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Jimmy Butler leaving calling it a pelvic contusion. He landed
on his took us. It appears to be a tailbone injury.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
He was undercut.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
He was undercut by a Rockets player. There happened late
first quarter. Late first quarter.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Now that was not bad enough. Which was worse for
the worst because Butler left with the injury.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
The Warriors were also shorthanded as one of their role
players ran in Pajemski. He also had a problem with
his stuff. Oh my stomach, bad stomachs. So he pitched
a shutout I think play like fourteen minutes or something
like that.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
He was useless.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
So Game number three is on Saturdays, Saturday, Saturday.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
And that will be in northern California.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
So let us discuss the question how much trouble are
the Warriors in now. Normally, when you go on the
road and you get a split and you're the team
that does not have home court, that is a wonderful mitzvah.
But how much trouble all the war is in if
Jimmy Butler is down for the count and cannot return
(05:34):
in this series.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
So I've got general.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Electric, secret blend, and mechanical engineer, and we will combine
all of these things together, and we are going to
boggle the mind, is what.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
We're going to do, unless we don't.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
So a Jimmy Butler is the antithesis of the standard
issue NBA player.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Let's start with that.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Start with that, the modern ballplayer is a mister softy
in the NBA.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Maybe I'm wrong on this. I look at Jimmy Butler.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
One of the reasons I've appreciated watching him play over
the years is he's a throwback. He's a red blooded
American alpha male, and outside of his personal beef with
pat Riley when he held a wildcat strike there in Miami,
when I've seen Jimmy Butler play, it appears he's got
dragon balls and he's the kind of guy that would
just take some pharmacy great ibuprofen and suck it up.
(06:30):
So if playoff Jimmy is d O and E, then
this becomes a general electric situation that means you open
up the ge oven. There you take the warriors out
of that oven because they are cooked. And if they
want to bring in a motivational speaker, may I recommend
bringing in Nick Van Exell, who can say one, two, three,
(06:54):
can coon because that's where they're headed. Now, sure you
can have the next man up philosophy. That's certainly what
the warrior is going to do. If Butler's out, and
as someone that's injured my tailbone before and I had
to sit on one of those rings, you know the
things you said, the pads with the ring on it
because you can't sit down because your butt hurts.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Yeah, I had to do that.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Good luck coming back and playing at a high level. Now,
could Butler return as a decoy? Sure, But if this
is as bad as they're saying it is it maybe
they're lying.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
They lie a lot in the NBA. They like to
do that.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
They embellish injuries as part of the business of basketball.
But assuming he's an actual legit injury the way it's
being described, good luck being anything more than a decoy anyway,
So next man up that would be Jonathan Kaminga that
he would be activated. The problem is Kaminga has been
on the naughty list for the Warriors.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
I'm not even a Warriors fan, and I know this.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
I've seen the stories you've sent me, some of the
stories about how he's not in the rotation. He's just
been after games sadly shooting jump shots and empty arenas.
So he got his opportunity. He's been on the Natty list. Kaminga,
he comes off the nattylist. How did he do, Jonathan Kaminga.
He played twenty six minutes, had eleven points, three rebounds
(08:08):
to assists, and he shot thirty three point three percent
half the Sign of the Devil. It was unremarkable, unremarkable,
And so that's the guy at Butler's not able to
get going.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
That's the guy. Good luck with him being the guy.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Now, there was the moment within the moment here in
this game. Golden State was lurking in the shadows there,
trying to sneak up like a snake in the grass.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Even though they were shorthanded. They did get within eleven
at one point, which is still not all that great.
That's not all that great.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
However, around that time there was a rhubarb that took place.
So what did you make of Golden State's Draymond Green
getting into a shouting match with Fred van Vliet late
in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
So just imagine, if you will, in the cartoon bubble
over your head.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
There was some some back and forth and Draymond got
right there nose to nose, and if anyone ate garlic,
the other person would have been knocked out. It was
a doggie bag filled with historyonics is what it was.
By modern basketball. This game was somewhat physical. I do
(09:23):
not agree with the level of physicality that was described
by the broadcasters. Seemed like they were going a little
too far over the top. But Raymond Green and Fred
Van Vliet stood toe to toe and they exchanged naughty words,
naughty naughty words, and then they got separated, and it
was that secret blend of T and B, theatrics and bravado.
(09:44):
But it's fake bravado, as most NBA dust ups happen
these days. Yeah, the last real NBA dust up was
the Malice at the Palace in Michigan there with the
Pistons and the pacers, and since then they've all just
been nothing but nonsense it which.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Is likely better that way. It's probably better that way. Anyway.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
You had the standard fake tough guys, the teammates that
run over to protect the fake tough guys, and so
you could you can almost imagine Draymond as he's surrounded
by his warrior teammates.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Hold me back, bro, hold me back, bro. You know
that kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
And then you had the h Town crowd serenading's Raymond Green,
chanting f you Draymond more than that in a minute.
All right, now, last Warrior. We're gonna move away from
the playoff games. We get to the other matchups later on,
but we move on now to Dallas, because there is
what Ben, why would you go to Dallas? Do you
(10:41):
know the Mavericks are not in the playoffs? Why would
you bring up the Mavericks. Well, we go where the
news of the day takes us, and there's another chapter
and more chatter on the worst decision in sport that
took place this basketball season. So kick back and relax
and enjoy the tale we are hearing now. The reason
(11:05):
for the viral viral divorce, the breakup herd round Basketball.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Between Louka and the mav Rex.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Could that's a weasel word, could go all the way
back to a couple weeks before the transaction, which was
not a trade because the trade you get equal value,
wasn't a trade.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Was giveaway.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Before the Mavericks gave away Luca, we're now reading that
the new MAVs ownership tried to approach Donchik about conditioning
also known as hey, stop being a fat tub of goo,
Luca getting shape fatty And how'd that work out?
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Well?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Patrick Dumont, Patrick Dumont, No, nobody's chant chanting fire doomot.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Nobody's doing that. It's fire Nico.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Anyway, it's guy Patrick Dumont who won the not the
genetic lottery, he won the marriage lottery.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Through marriage, he now gets to own the Mavericks.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
And he had a less than positive some would call
negative encounter with Luca before giving the green light to
send his ass out of Dallas.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
So we'll frame it this way.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Luka Donzik had a issue, a falling out with the
new Mavericks owner weeks before he was traded or given away.
Do you find this significant? Are these two things related?
And I would respond to that by saying, is a
wildfire hot? Is a wildfire hot?
Speaker 4 (12:39):
Right?
Speaker 2 (12:39):
This sounds like a plant? If you ask, where did
this story come from?
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Randomly.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
I would say, based on my years of investigative talk radio,
it is more likely than not that this was leaked
by somebody who is connected with Nico Nico Harrison, who
has now held two horrific news conferences about this trade,
and it's likely it's like, hey, wait a minute. You
know this guy signed off on it, and he recommended it,
(13:10):
and so let's throw him under the proverbial team plane
as it's taxing for takeoff there, and so it sounds like, hey.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
What my fault. Dumont's the guy, Hey, my fault, blamed Dumont.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Now, if true, if true, the mav Rec franchise was
harpooned by a mechanical engineer, you realize that this guy
could have become an HVAC technician or a civil engineer
or something like that if your fine jobs.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Instead.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Patrick Dumont, who did get a mechanical engineering degree from
John Hopkins University there in Baltimore.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Go Blue Jays and then went to a business school.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
He married into the Adelson family, the gambling family. So
through marriage he married into that family, and the old
man died and he rose to the level of owner.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Of the Maverick. You talk about a hostile takeover, all right,
So we could.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Totally see Luca getting confronted by somebody he doesn't really know,
this guy.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Dumont, Patrick Dumont.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
A stranger, and Luca being a total dink with the
guy and the highbrow owner of the Mavericks who thinks
his poopy doesn't smelly and used to work at bear
Stearns on Wall Street going scorched earth and saying, all right,
this trade this guy and Nico Harrison. It's not to
say Nico didn't cheer for that to happen, but ultimately
(14:43):
a trade like this does not happen without the owner
giving the okay, and so it's just not possible.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
There is not a dimension where that happens. It just
doesn't take place. All right. It is the Ben Mahllor Show.

Speaker 2 (18:15):
And by the way, it is back to the Ben
Malors show. Let's point that out here. Late Night Drug
Tester writes in, says, I am sure that if Jimmy
Butler was playing with a wallet full of cash, he
would have had enough padding to prevent his injury. Yeah,
he should have attached a pillow to his badunkadunk is
what he should have done.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Then he'd be fine.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Supermarket Steve writes in, says, Ben, your monologue was on
point as always. Well, thank you, Supermarket Steve ck kind
as always appreciate that. Spock's Weed writes in and says, uh,
three point thirty three half the side of the devil
a fractional concept of evil. This is pretty interesting and
(18:55):
could have many great applications.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Is Draymond Green a four four or a five to
five five?
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Could Maverick fans consider Nico Harrison a full six six
six that is from spockxwed who is enjoying himself on
the Oregon Trail. He's enjoying the local, the local plant
there on the Oregon Trail is what he's doing, unless
(19:24):
he's not. What else were we see page down?
Speaker 1 (19:28):
I read that.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
All right, we'll take some calls here coming up in
a minute, but I wanted to get to this store.
We started out with the Warriors and the Rockets, and
also the latest revelations on the Lukea trade.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
A story that I absolutely.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Absolutely love is the peek a boo story from basketball,
and that.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Is Lebron James.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
You see this video one viral Lebron the other night.
There was a play where he was fouled. He was
obviously fouled, and he appeared to be rithing in pain,
just complete agony, like you thought he might be on
his death bed.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
We thought Lebron could die on the court. There might
be a chance.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
They might have to get out the corner because Lebron
was about to die. It was that bad, the way
that Lebron was gyrating. We thought the man might drop
dead right there on the court.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Holy crap. But upon further.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Review, when you look at the up close replay there,
internet investigators have discovered and uncovered the rest of the
story as many noticed. And I don't know who did
this first. I've seen several videos on this, so I
don't know who the first. I'll give him credit. If
I knew who the first person was that did it,
I don't know, not that it matters. So they noticed
(20:44):
that Lebron was he was down in the court, laying
on his back, and he's got his hand on his
face and his eyes and he was caught pick about.
Hey played pick about Lebron. Yeah, he was caught peeking.
He was checking to make sure the referees made the
(21:08):
call before he gave off the thespian performance. It's like
you're sitting there and you're watching a Broadway show and
you have to wait.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
You have to wait. The timing is key on that, right,
the timing is key.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
And so Lebron waited and then once he looked up,
he can kind of look up on the scoreboard there.
They have the monitors under the scoreboard as well, and
Lebron peaked.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
He peaked to see make sure you know the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
And and sure enough Lebron who a little too much
acting too much. Yeah, there was a broadcaster for the
Lakers years ago. He would have said too much mustard
on the hot dog and fell off and all.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
That overacting, overacting. But he did that to get some
foul shots.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
It was very amusing, almost as funny as when Anthony
Edwards the ant man did what about ism. Also, a
video clip that was sent in my direction by a
listener to the.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Show said, you see what Anthony Edwards did.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Anthony Edwards, to my knowledge, did not yell to anyone
in the crowd how big a schlong is. But Edwards
did attempt to hornswaggle a technical foul call on Lebron James, and.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
He did it with what about ism.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
It was the middle of the game and Anthony Edwards
was upset with the officials. He was upset and an
all things that Lebron was. Also he was the one
complaining first to you, as always complaining about some call
that was not made.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
He says, he says, now y'all want to call that.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Dumb blank blank and Edwards, Anthony Edwards came over there.
Fortunately no women were impregnated at that moment.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
From Anthony. Anyway, it was rare. I came over there.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
He started waving his arms and gyrating, and he yelled out, WHOA,
that's a tech.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
That's a tech. Right, yelled that out, that's a tech,
that's a tech.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
And uh he pointed out that when I do it, it's
a tech.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
And if I did that, it's a tech. So he's
doing the woe is me thing, and it was this
is amuse, It was amuse. It was amusic. Anyway, we'll
take your calls.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox is the number
if you want to be part of.
Speaker 1 (23:28):

stop fungus right, since, says Lebron, look like Michael J.
Speaker 1 (23:41):

Speaker 2 (23:44):

You couldn't find my tires. How about that yoga.
Speaker 4 (25:27):

sure you never came out.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
You'd probably like that, but I'm good, all right, thank you,
all right, all right, go.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
It's so stupid. This is so dumb. You know it's
not dumb.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
That would be the the play of the day, the
play of the day. Do we have the player of
the day here? This is very exciting, the play of
the day. And the great thing about this is nobody
tells me what the play of the day is. Normally
I'd set it up and say this is the player
that I have no idea, I just I guess. We'll
just play some them sound bite and then we'll just
try to guess.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
What it is. Here we go, Jaalen free point line.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
All right, met there by post slide steps D three
coming up on.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
The way rentles in Duge triple.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Okay, I don't know what that was. I guess that
was from the Rockets. I have no idea. I guess
that was Jalen Green. Okay, Well, well, run machine here.
Well the play of the day. That didn't seem that
great to me, but it is made possible by ti
i Rack. For over forty years, ty Iraq has been
helping customers find the right tires for how, what and
where they drive, ship fast and free back by free
road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire
(26:39):
installation tire i raq dot com. The way tire buying
should be. Let's say, hello, who do we have you? Let'
see any meenie mineumo. He's on the week off from school.
Andre in the Commonwealth, Hello Andre.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Welcome, Hello Ben, good to be with you.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Listen, strike, strike, strike, strike.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
Of the previous caller.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
That sounds like the Dallas Mavericks fans that are picketing
outside of NCO Harrison's office and telling and making it
clear to this man that he's gaging. Are sure you
know that that's the previous call. It seem to tap
into it which you began the program with. There's only
you know, what, what have you learned from that great
movie Traffic? You know what I'm saying, I'm dating myself,
(27:19):
you know, but the great movie. Right when the times
are tough, what do you do? You know, you sit
down and you take out one of the envelopes. Okay,
and what does it say in the envelope? It says
blame the other guy, which is what Nico Harrison is
doing right now, trying to put the blame onto the
ownership that it's not him. Okay, but it's not working.
So you know, when they have the second crisis again,
we learned great movie uh Traffic. Uh. The director gives
(27:43):
the name escapes me right now, but he did did
a lot of I'm gonna I'm gonna get it. But
what have you learned? The second time when he sat down, Ben,
he says, sit down, Nico Harrison and write yourself two letters,
because your time in Dallas is over all. Right, It's
just there's no living it down. This is all cast dating, okay,
and you can't owners can't fire themselves, Ben, right right,
we talked about being wealthy and being.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
There's only been there's been only been one owner that
has gotten himself fired and that was Donald Sterling. And
other than that, no one else has gotten fired. But
you're referring to the finger of blame, are you not right?
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Win in doubt?
Speaker 2 (28:16):
You have to know you have to know who to blame, right,
You have to know. It's called blame shifting. You have
to know who to blame. Got to have a fall guy.
Gotta have a fall guy. Chris Carter taught me that.
Chris Carter not in a movie. Chris Carter, Viking legend.
Got to have a fall guy.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
Indeed, you do have to have a fall guy. Steven Soderberg,
all right, I got it. You know, director of Traffic.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
It was a very important movie to you. That was
very important because.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
At that scene, you know what I mean, it said
it said a lot. You know, first of all, you
can only solve so many societies hill, you know, and
you know when it comes down, you know, you blame
this person. Then the second time, you're not making out
of the two crisis. Willis is here hanging out with
me for a little bit.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Oh yeah, Willis.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
We Alt said, we'd like to alert all the affiliates.
Willis is in the building. We have have Willis in
the building.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
In the building siffy snacker room. I don't know if
he's gonna be barking. He ain't getting hand getting a
snacker room, but he's focused. Maybe I've been by bad.
You know, time is short, so I don't know if
he's going to cooperate with the barking. But he's here.
You know, he's up. He's enjoying the vacation with me.
You know he's gonna be on vacation soon. Nico Harrison, Okay,
you know, get yourself ready. All right, here's here's I
(29:25):
think that the silver lining if we can have one. Okay,
you're not gonna find yourself in the same situation as
other famous broadcasters who are going to renew remain nameless,
but they're all over the headlines because of their antics
off of the you know what they're what they're doing, Nico,
go out with some pride, go out with some grace.
So go go out with some class. Okay, but it's
it's not you don't know. You don't need to fight
your way out of the situation. Just recognize it's not
(29:46):
on you, Okay. Ownership they had to initially sign off,
and you didn't do what you were supposed to do
is because you shouldn't have never made this. I don't
care what ownership was saying, but you're gonna have to
take the brunt of it and then possibly take four
or five years off he was alluded to. Ben. Let
me just conclude with this, he's not going back to
Nike because you know who's that Nike? You said this, Okay, well,
Lucas over at Nike, So that's not gonna happen ever again.
(30:08):
And indetus, maybe he might want to do that, but
just Nico, take the fall, take your money. Step away
from basketball for a little while.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Oh come, he'll get a job. He'll get a job
with the Lakers. What are you talking about? If the
Laker Jennie Buss, I'll hire him right now. But while
he's still working for the Mavericks, maybe she's already paying him.
I'm my god, he's like the employee of the year.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
For the Lakers.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Employ That franchise was going right in a sewer and
everyone knows it right the podcast Coach Guy sucks Reddick
Lebron's old thirty seven shots for forty points in these
two playoff games and the one saving Grace and it
might not even work because you know, he didn't play
much defense, but Luke, I mean, my god, ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
He goes to he goes to the Lakers, Benz, California.
What is that the fourth largest economy in the world is.
They're very proud of that. But here's the thing, Nico,
when you get your job with the Lakers, you can
never go back to the long Star State. Okay, you
know when to hold them, you know when to fold them.
You're never going to be welcoming Texas again. So just
avoid it all together and then right off into the
sunsetting holiday and we'll be near with you, Ben. You'd
be with Big Ben. Maybe he joins the Malin militia.
(31:12):
That would be the ultimate silver line. Okay, we can't
have thanks so much taking the call.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
Appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Well, yeah, well, I don't think he's gonna a He
would not want to do it, but he's made so
many bad decisions. He's likely got insomnia, Nico, and has
issues sleeping, So I would think he's in our demographic
in that regard. We do very well with people that
have insomnia and can't sleep right away.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
That's that's the demo. We are, that demo.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Yeah, for sure, Hey, comb to chaos with the shipping
software that delivers.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Use code Sports.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
That's right Sports for a free trial at shipstation dot com.
At shipstation dot com Code Sports coming up later on
if you're with us for the full journey through the
overnight hours here next hour we have Mallard of the
third Degree, Got the Riddle of the Day. Later on,
also Factor Fiction and ask Ben. It's a lot to
(32:08):
get to and you gotta be a riginal, you gotta
be original. We'll get to that and a time now
for the who am I game? Alfred Shengon who. This
guy's really good. I've seen him play now, you know,
when you have a name like that, if I know
how to, I think I'm pronouncing it right.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
I've seen him put up some big numbers this year
for the Rockheads.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
Alfred Shengoon. He had seventeen points, sixteen rebounds, and I
believe you had to do it seven assists in that
game that was played against the Warriors, meaning he is
the first Rockets player since me to have fifteen points,
fifteen rebounds or more, and five assists or more.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
In a playoff game for Houston.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Again, Alfred Shengoon had seventeen points sixteen rebounds.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
That's good. That's good. Seven assists.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
He's became the first Rockets player since me with a
fifteen pointer better, fifteen rebounder better, and five assists or
better performance in a playoff game for.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Houston since me.
