Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our name, but four hour four
of our radio program talking pro Bouncy Ball, the passing
of a legend and Bill Russell full life, eighty eight
years old. He died over the weekend. Would Bill Russell's
game have flourished in the social media age? We take

(00:22):
a look at that. Will anyone claim that Bill Russell
played against nobody's but that punk jj Reddick said that
about Bill Russell's point guard, Bob Kuzy talk about that?
And how is Bill Russell not included in most people's
top individual NBA player list? We discussed that as well.
All of it coming your way right now in our

(00:45):
number four here it is the passing of a legend. Welcome.
In the beginning of another hour of the Ben Maller Show.
We are in the air everywhere, hanging out out in
dreamland as we are a drug on the market clearly

(01:08):
coast to coast, border to border and beyond on the
past and staggeringly powerful microphones of fs are emanating live
from the lock the gridlock of the radio dial the
Fox Sports Radio studios, and we'll get to the developing

(01:29):
store involving an NFL quarterback. The day of reckoning, very dramatic,
just hours away. That's right, less than four hours away
for Deshaun Watson Moore and that coming up a little
bit later. But we begin our lead from pro bouncy Ball.
The passing of a legend now years ago. I was

(01:54):
on a radio show, local radio show in nineteen ninety
nine and it was the day that Wilt Chamberlain died.
And I remember it very well because Wilt was a
bigger than life personality passed away and it was very sad.
He was an age where could have lived another twenty years. Well,
Bill Russell did live another twenty plus years and he

(02:16):
has passed on. If you missed it, the legendary Celtics
center from the late fifties and the nineteen sixties, passed
away at the age of eighty eight. The resume speaks
for itself. Eleven championships in the glory days of the
Boston Celtics with Red Arbach as his coach, Russell had

(02:37):
a cast of characters that so many of them ended
up in the Hall of Fame. Russell was part of
teams that won eight consecutive titles mentioned eleven of thirteen teams,
success unparalleled in the legacy sports leagues in North America
five times an MVP. Bill Russell dead at the age
of eighty eight, And so the conversation and has picked up.

(03:01):
And as Bill Russell passed away over the weekend here
and there's questions about you know this, that and the
other thing, and what if that had happened? Now? What
if Russell had won eleven out of thirteen championships in
the modern era with all the gizmos and the thing
of the jigs and the whatchi mccollits and all the
technology that we have today. So I thought it was

(03:23):
an interesting conversation to have, and I would like to
engage you in that conversation. So the question, would Bill
Russell's game have flourished in the social media age? And
I would I would actually go know on that. I
don't think it would do. I look at this and

(03:44):
I'll get into it and say, but I don't think
it would have resonated with the modern era that we
have today. I've got lunch Pale and thermis, Zeitgeist and
biblical and we will combine all of these things together
and we are going to make a Boston cream pie.
Is what we're gonna make so to tip things off,

(04:05):
Bill Russell was designed his game, his style of played
designed perfectly for the era that he played in. Right
styles make fights, styles make eras the NBA at that
time was, let's be honest here, when Bill Russell was dominating,
when the Celtics were on top of the world, it
was an afterthought. It was a start a relatively startup

(04:25):
league at that point. I've been around for what twenty
years or so, but it was not It was not popular.
It wasn't baseball. But you gotta think at that time
in the fifties, baseball was the king. You still had
a horse racing, boxing, those are the big sports. The NFL,
I really college football was more popular than the NFL

(04:47):
in that period of time, and so the NBA was
fighting for scraps. And so if you put that into
the modern era social media, social media, it's all about
the razmatad and looking back, the greatest rivalries. People talk
about individual rivalries, and in the NBA there are so

(05:08):
many because the individuals rule the roost. Magic and Jordan
come to mind, Michael or Magic and Bird. Rather, Jordan
did not really have any won rival ages. Maybe the
Pistons a little bit. But Will Chamberlain and Bill Russell
in that time, that was the rivalry of the day.

(05:29):
That was the catch of the decades that they've played
against each other. Are keeping it real, Will Chamberlain. If
you say who would have won the popularity game, Wilt
Chamberlain would have dominated social media? Now why is that?
He had a gift for gab, glitz and glamour, opulence,
the sizzle reel, the prototypical monster, the guy that scored

(05:51):
one hundred points in a game in Hershey, Pennsylvania, and
could have put any kind of box score numbers up
that you want to name, any stat line your heart desires,
and he would provide it to you. And the other
thing that you got to remember here you're talking about
the social media game. Will Chamberlain was an extrovert. He
was a ladies man. In fact, he claimed such a

(06:12):
ladies man. He reached twenty thousand that was his his
list and then bigger than life persona and all that,
And that's the kind of person that would have dominated
the social media age of the NBA. Russell was a
metal lunch pale thermis guy. Compared to Will Chamberlain, he
was surly cantankerous, an introvert, and that's that's who he was.

(06:38):
He's a very prickly personality that would have likely caused
some some issues in the social media age and all that.
And furthermore, will anyone in the media over the next
twenty four to forty eight hours claim that Bill Russell
played against nobody's Are we going to get that story?
Is that gonna pop up? Is that coming down? In

(06:59):
three to one? You know, the hot take artists are
warming up, Punks like JJ Reddick are licking their chops,
and he can body slam Bill Russell the week that
he passes away. If Bill if Bob Kuze right the couze,
If Bob Couzy played against plumbers and fireman, which is

(07:20):
what JJ Reddick opined the other day, then that means
the same for Bill Russell because they were contemporaries. Normal decorum,
if you will, would mean that You have to wait.
You can't say that right now. When someone dies, legend
or not, you bury the hatchet, you show respect. Is
that going to happen today? Are we gonna get somebody

(07:41):
that goes off the rockers? People get all upset about
what they say about Bill Russell today, I expect plenty
of knives to be thrown over the next twenty four
to forty eight hours. And so many people and JJ
Reddick's the greatest example of this. So many have zero
respect for their elders. It's the zeitgeist of the times.
Bill Russell played against carpenters and car salesman that will

(08:05):
be coming soon. And in reality, the degree of difficulty
was actually much harder. When Bill Russell was doing his thing,
conditions were worse. They didn't have multimillion dollar gymnasiums. They
were playing at crappy gyms. You see some of these
old highlights of Bill Russell, and they were playing in
venues where like like this, one side of the arena

(08:26):
was just a wall. They didn't have stands like a
high school gym or a college gym. The travel was worse,
the facilities. As we mentioned, the money was nothing. And
things get easier, they don't get harder over time. Players
today are worshiped by Jock Sniffers, both in the media
and outside of the media. Everyone is making the riches

(08:49):
of Solomon and you did have to have other jobs.
It was not something most of those guys made enough
money where they could just do one thing. You had
to sell cars or do whatever you could do. But
that made it harder, not easier, made it harder. At
parting shot, so how is Bill Russell not included in
your all time and eighty team? I hear this a

(09:09):
lot people, especially the last twenty four hours. So less
than that, since Bill Russell passed away. It's like, well,
people say he won all these championships and he's not
on the top individual lists. Why not? I'll tell you why.
All right, there's two things working against Russell being on
the all time list. Age and stats. And Russell played

(09:32):
in biblical times compared to the modern era. And I'm
not talking about the quality of the play. I'm not
talking about playing against nobody's I'm talking about out of sight,
out of mind. That not one, but two generations have
passed since Bill Russell was in his hey day. He
last played in nineteen sixty nine, so you can do

(09:54):
the math on that. That's fifty three years ago. A
generation is twenty five years, so that's were two generations.
So that's a problem. And also the stats don't help.
That's also a part of people that look at the
stats are like well, Russell averaged fifteen points a game
in his career and the average a bunch of rebounds.
He was over twenty two rebounds a game and four

(10:14):
assists a game, but fifteen points a game. And so
you look at that. And he didn't shoot the ball
particularly well from anywhere. It was less than forty five
percent from the floor and a little over fifty five
percent from the charity stripe. And so the other thing
also the individual list. It's it's a combination of championships,

(10:36):
but also individual statistics like greatness, and Russell played with greats.
He made other players wonderful. He was a great at
facilitating the offense, helping to provide for the Celtics, as
we mentioned. But even his contemporaries of that era, many

(10:57):
of them have claimed that Will Chamberlain was the most
talented guy in that era. But regardless of all they listen,
Bill Russell lived the full life eighty eight years. It's
a solid run and a legend and icon. Got every
kind of award you could possibly want in his time
as a professional athlete and even in retirement, getting medals

(11:17):
from the White House and whatnot over his time. All right,
it is the Ben Mallard Show. As we continue on,
and we'll get to the big, big story here that's
gonna be popping up in the next few hours. In
a moment, this portion of the Ben Maller Show made
possible by our friends at Discover Card. We could talk

(11:38):
about how complicated other banks make it the redeemed credit
card rewards, or we could talk about how we discover
you can redeem your rewards for cashing any amount at
any time. I mean talk about amazing learn more at
discover dot com slash Redeemed rewards terms do apply. So
it is D Day for Deshaun Watson, not the kind
of d that he got himself in trouble for. The

(12:00):
decision is the day today. So Deshaun Watson going to
be informed, might already know, probably does already know, the
ruling of the former judge Sue L. Robinson on the suspension. Now,
if you believe what is being leaked from Deshaun Watson's

(12:20):
camp and the NFL Players Association, that suspension will be
anywhere from four to eight games, as little as four
as much as eight, and that's it. That's it. He
got away with it. If that's the case, he got
away with it and bring on the masseusas, line them
up around the building and play touchy feely all you want.
That's the lesson. If that's the case from this and

(12:43):
so we will we'll see if that's that's actually what
happens or not. Oftentimes these people are completely wrong with
their predictions. But it does appear that something is going
in the direction of Deshaun Watson, as the NFL Players
Association releasing a statement saying they will not appeal the punishment.
Why would you say that if the punishment was severe,

(13:08):
you wouldn't say that the answers, you wouldn't say. They've
also asked the NFL to not appeal because the NFL
can say, screw you, We're gonna add on a bunch
of other games. Deshaun Watson has also gotten out his checkbook.
He's paid some more hush money, and there were four
outstanding cases going into the weekend. Watson has ponied up money.

(13:29):
He has now paid twenty three of the twenty for
women to shut up that he said, Hey, you know what,
you're probably right, here's some money going leave me alone.
So there's only one outstanding case. Now, keep in mind
the Statue of limitations does not run out until sometime
in March of twenty twenty three. So this story has
been going on for the past sixteen months. There're a

(13:52):
number of allegations being made here and the outcome of
this will not be known until as far as other
cases being filed until sometime in twenty twenty three. There's
one case as of right now. There could be others.
They could be filed, and the NFL has to decide

(14:14):
what they want to do. Is gonna be quite the day.
There will be all kinds of proclamations and declarations made, this,
that and the other thing. It is going to be
a poop storm for the Watson story and we will
keep an eye on it all day long. But it's
coming down. It's supposed to be by nine am, nine
am in the discipline of Deshaun Watson nine am Eastern time,

(14:37):
so it's just after five fifteen right now, So you
can do the math on that, all right. It is
the Ben Maller Show eight seven, seven ninety nine on
Fox eight seven seven nine nine six sixty three six nine.
This is the first day of August. Tomorrow is the
Major League Baseball trade deadline. And one so too expected

(14:59):
to be moved by the Washington Nationals. And are there
only three musketeers left in the damp in the Juan
Soto sweepsticks? It would appear that that is the case.
Who are the final three musketeers who are left in
the bidding for Juan Soto. We'll get to that and
we will do it next. Be sure to catch live

(15:21):
editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am
Eastern eleven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the
iHeartRadio app. Pay attention, Maller Militia. The Ben Maller Show
needs your help. Join the Audio Commonwealth and follow your
host on Twitter. He's at Ben Maller and you can
tweet at and follow tonight's technical producer. He is from Iowa.

(15:46):
His name is Sam Yeah, and he's on Twitter at
Iowa Sam ninety nine. It's not this Party and Alive
from the Fox Sports Radio studio. It's Ben Maller. Ferg.
Doc Wrightson says, I am disappointed that caller trash whimped out.

(16:07):
They better throw the book at Deshaun Watson to make
up for it. Rest in peace. Bill Russell says, fer
yea if you missed it. At the beginning of the show,
this guy named Trash who's in Hawaii. He had promised
us last week he said, this is the day it's
green light go that he was going to go at
the very top of this mountain in a rainforest in

(16:31):
Hawaii and go down the hill on a skateboard and
document the whole thing and do it live on the show,
to try to set some kind of land speed record.
And he even called other shows at the network to
promote it. And then he never even called in to
say he wasn't doing it. It's bad job by him.

(16:51):
We were supposed to do it live, we promoted it,
we did the whole thing. He didn't show him. Alf
the alien old piner from Springfield, mass home of the
Pro Basketball Hall of Fame, where Muffett McGraw as in shrine, says,
there is no way, Ben that you're going to go
to sleep before the Deshaun Watson ruling comes up. Of course,
not you knew that. Help now, I don't know that.
I'm gonna opine on it on Twitter. They don't pay

(17:13):
me to send tweets out. They pay me to talk
in these dumb microphones. So I might save my content
for the radio show, but I will absolutely be checking
that out, no question about it. I want to see
and I hope the reports are wrong. It certainly sounds,
by everything we're hearing here in the overnight, that it's

(17:34):
only gonna be four to eight games, which would be
the ultimate in your face by Deshaun Watson, that the
NFL has the option of adding on more games at
the discretion of the Judge the Emperor. However, you want
to call Roger Goodell, he can add on to that
as much as he wants. Let's go to the phones.
We will say hello to Jed who Fled? Who is

(18:18):
but you know what I mean. Uh, you you had
a different nickname before Real Talk started calling the show,
