Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boom, Shaka laka, it's our birthree. Well here in hour
number three, it's all about the MVP.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Did the voters get it right in pro Bouncy Ball
giving the MVP to Shade Jogis Alexander over Nikola Jokic.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
We'll talk about that.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Many critics of wine that the MVP SGA used foul
baiting during his MVP season. Does this take away from
his dominance and his voter fatigue?
Speaker 1 (00:35):
The real reason.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
That Jokic did not win a third MVP in four
years in Denver and one last thing because of the
amount of people who have reached out to me. If
you are Steve Balmer, do you regret mortgaging your future
with SGA Jugis Alexander in the Paul George Kawhi Leonard
(00:58):
pairing has delivered a finals appearance yet for the Clippers,
and George is gone. Now we'll talk about all of
that and more right now, Hot Niggity Dog, it's our
number three.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
It's just a hunk of metal. It's just a hunk
of metal, that's all it is.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Maler Show.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
We are in the air everywhere arm in arm as
we hit a ballantine blast coast border, the border and.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Beyond on the bast and glaringly powerful microphones of FSR
am moinating live from the elbows we rub elbows from
the Fox Sports radio studios and approved by Pat and
every Berry from Kansas City. That's right, big fans of
(02:03):
the show. And they also love tire Rack. I know
Aery Barry always talks about how much he loves Tyraq.
In fact, for over forty years, tire Rack has been
helping customers find the right tires.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
For how, what and where they drive. Is that not
a mazing?
Speaker 2 (02:18):
I know it is wild, wild and crazy ship fast
and freeback by free road hazard protection with convenient installation
options like mobile tire installation, tire iraq dot com, the
way tire Buying show be So we had an instant
classic in pro bouncy Ball last night as the New
(02:40):
York Knickerbockers. They had the game in the bag and
they let it out of the bag.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
What's in the bag, Well, the bag was a win
and they screwed it over.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
I mean, my god, So now I don't I'm not
a big win percentage guy.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
I don't like that.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
I think it's kind of ridiculous because it's just some
computer algorithm, but if you if you.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Like that kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
The Knicks had a ninety nine point seven percent chance
of winning Game one versus the Pacers, and then they
they went to dukea puke and they just gave it
all away. And that's that we have that also either
a monologue earlier, Uluji a tribute to Jim Irsey, the
owner of the Cols, one of the characters who passed away,
(03:24):
so passed away died. We don't know exactly how he died.
I'm sure that'll come out in the coming days, but
not really important. Our lead this hour, though not from
the gag job the slip on the banana peal by
the Knicks there in the Eastern Conference Finals overtime.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Loss in Game one.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
There was some news from the other series, The Thunder
and the Wolves had a day of rest.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
And if you didn't hear about that by now, maybe not.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
O k C guard Shay Juggas Alexander getting it done.
He wins the NBA's twenty twenty five MVP Award. It
was announced that Giljess Alexander, now the seventh straight MVP winner,
to be born outside of the continental United States.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
He's Canadian. Our friends just up the road anyway.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Nicola Jokic twenty twenty four, twenty twenty two and twenty
twenty one, Joel nbad In twenty twenty three, and Giannis
Denta Kumbo has won a couple of MVPs.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
And if you're curious, because I know you're worried about.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
These things, Sga had seventy one of the one hundred
first place vote.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Now the Nuggets star.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Nicola Jokic finished second. He got the other twenty nine
first place votes, and the Greek freak Identa Coombo was third.
There were twelve different players that received at least one
top five vote in the MVP race.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
So let us discuss the.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Question did the voters get edit right? Did the voters
get it right? Giving the MVP award to Shay jogis
Alexander over Nikola Yoki.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
So I've got Jigsaw, Devil's.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Playground, and Rainbows, and we will combine all these things
together and we are going to make.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Some crunchy tacos, because why not?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
All right, So to kick off here, I have mentioned
in previous episodes of the show and I'm not changing
my position. I support SGA as the MVP in OKAC.
There's a lot of letters that's SGA MVP OKC. And
if you're a sportsman, you know what all that means.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Now.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Jugis Alexander led to Oklahoma City. He was the headliner.
They won sixty eight games, the top record in the
NBA greatest regular season. That team's had one of the
all time great regular seasons. They had a record breaking
point differential, outscore teams by twelve point six points per game.
(06:03):
All things being equal, all things being equal, there are
some traditions that you have here, and one of the
traditions the deciding jigsaw piece to the puzzle. Historically, the
top player locally it's called the best player. The top
player on the team with the top record will most
(06:24):
often win the MVP award unless there is obviously, obviously
someone who is head and shoulders above that player, and
that is not the case, Like even if you are
part of the caucus for the joker, it's not clear
cut that he's head and shoulders better than SGA.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
Right.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
SGA was undeniably the top player on the top team,
and he led the NBA in scoring average, thirty two
points a game and fifty one percent shooting almost fifty
two percent. And if you're into the nerd stats, the
true shooting percentage.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
That's a nerd stat.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
He was the second best ever for a player averaging
thirty two points per game, only Wilt Chamberlain and Lebron
We were there, I say, the same true shooting percentage. Now, furthermore,
there's always criticism. We live in a world. I'm a critic.
I get paid to be a critic. Criticism pays a
lot of money. It pays very well to be a critic.
(07:29):
So many have pointed out and they've whined that the
player Shae jogis Alexander, he used dirty play, foul play,
if you will, in foul baiting, and that is how
he was able to rack up all these stats, and
that's why he won the MVP. And so it's not
really legit because he's just a foul baiter and that's it.
(07:52):
And so does this take away from his dominance that
the perception, perception often reality that the Oklahoma City Guard
Shay jyogis Alexander used foulb So let's go to the scoreboard,
and if you look at the scoreboard. It says right
there on the jumbo tron, it's the devil's playground.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
You are a crafty devil. You are a crafty devil.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Now do I think it is aesthetically pleasing to watch
foul bating?
Speaker 1 (08:23):
I do not. I find it disgusting. I want to
puke in my mouth.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
That being said, his ability SGA's ability to draw fouls
is a testament to his skill set, and he's figured
out how to use his ability to get.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
The most out of it.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
And what if I told you that historically, historically, Alexander
does not rank in the top five, the top ten,
the top fifteen, the top twenty, or even the top
twenty five in attempts from the charity stripe. In a
year you won the MVP, they went back and they
crushed the numbers. When you look back.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
At every MVP, every.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
MVP in pro bouncy ball history, Giljess, Alexander does not
even come close to the top. He ranks twenty seventh.
He's in between Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant in free
throw attempts per game. Yeah, twenty seven, that's okay. I
(09:26):
mean it's a fair amount, but it's it's not all
time James Harden like that.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Again, it's not great to watch and all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Here's the issue, though, all these guys that are that
are bitching and complaining about the foul bitty if the
NBA has a problem with that part of the game,
then they should address the problem.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Like it's like, that's an NBA issue.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
And unless we find out that SGA is paying off
the officials, then that's a different conversation. Now in terms
of the other Komodo d in the room, here is
voter fatigue. The real reason that Jokic did not win
a third MVP in four years is that the reason.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
So it is not now. You can't ignore it. You
can't ignore it.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
I do think there is a percentage of people that
are just burned out.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
And that's another one of those things.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
As a rule of thumb that if you have won
multiple MVP awards, you have to be so much better,
you have to be secretariat.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
That much out in front of everyone else to win
another one. And we have seen voter fatigue.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
The most famous example in the last fifteen years or
so was way back when Lebron was gonna win the
MVP in twenty eleven, and then Derek Rose was the upstart,
so they voted for Derek Rose or the Chicago Bulls
is the MVP, and that no one of those things.
They generally favor the breakout stars, something new, we like,
(10:59):
the new shine, any object and all that stuff. The
other issue that yokichad is the Nuggets were not anywhere
near the same rarefied air as Oklahoma City. I know,
the city one of the all time great regular seasons.
They tried, they played hard, the whole thing, and the
other arguments, well, Jokich had nobody and SGA had all
these other plays.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
All right, I can nitpick this and have a field day.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Now, last thing here. So several of you trolls, you schmocks,
you know who you are. You reached out to me, some.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Of you tried to slide into my DMS. I don't
know why you want to do that.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
All those of you just did the old fashioned email
and he said, you know, you know what I had
been that guy Shay he won the MVP. You know
he was on the Clippers. He was on the Clipper.
What a dumb two you gave away, Shane and you
got a PG thirteen.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Oh man, you must be so embarrassed, devastated.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
I don't know how I was able to show up
to work. How am I able to function? It's a
it's a modern miracle, it is. It's a modern I'm
able to come in here and do a damn radio
show after the Clippers six years ago got rid of
Shay Gilgis Alexander and they got rid of him, and
now he's gone on.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
To win an MVP six years later. So here's how
I'm going to frame it.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
If if you're the Clippers owner Steve Balmer, the richest
man in the NBA, if you're Steve Balmer, do you
regret mortgaging your future to acquire SGA in the Paul
George Kawhi Leonard Perring that has not not produced championships,
(12:44):
has not delivered a championship. So I have an unpopular
opinion here, and let me give you my opinion. If
you could go back in the hot dub time machine
and decide do I want to do this or do
I not want to do it? You would do it again,
And in fact, Steve Balmer would do it ten out
of ten times. You make that trade, and the reason
(13:04):
you make that trade, it's the rainbow philosophy right. For years,
the Clippers were chasing rainbows. They were looking for that
holy Grail player that would pick them instead of the
other glamour teams in the NBA.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
The Clippers were not a glamour team.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Now they are, and so the Clippers the price of admission,
the cost to get a seat at the cool Kids table,
was an MVP season for SGA.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
That was the cost. They wanted that Holy Grail player.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
They'd been pursuing it, chasing rainbows unattainable. They found the
pot of gold, and unfortunately for them, Kawhi Leonard is
not very good at judging talent, and the Clippers were
working with him.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
He's coming out of Toronto. They said, we'll get whoever
you want.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
We've got all these draft picks, whatever you want, pick anybody.
We can get anyone we want, and he hand picked
Kawhi Leonard put the claw on Paul George. If he
had said I'd rather play, I don't know. I think
of the players at the time, James Harden someone like that.
He could have gotten that player anyone just about outside
(14:20):
of Lebron and outside of Steph Curry. But that's that's
the guy he wanted.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
He wanted Paul George.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Oklahoma City said we want Gil Just Alexander and so
there you go.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
But you don't change it. Like that was my take at.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
The time, and I Balmer, I think, would do the
same thing. That was a pivot point. That was a
pivot point. Out with the old, in with the new.
It's also a great final tribute. This is something that
no one's talking about.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
But if you look at the.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
The Clippers, the reason that Gil justs Alexander was a
Clipper was because of Jerry. It's like the final tributary
died and you know this is his last guy that
he picked.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
There's not a lottery pick.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
He was, I believe a mid round pick and has
blossomed into a star SGA and good for him, good
tribute to the logo. But again just to recap, like
the price to get a seat at the Cool Kids
table was you had to get Kawhi Leonard. Kawhi Leonard
said I'm not going unless I get Paul George. And
so the price to get Paul George was SGA And
(15:30):
so he wins an MVP.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
That's fine. It is the Ben Mallord Show. We are

I got, I know, Reggie, But the next came back
then when the Knicks the Pacers came back, and and
and those Nick Pacer games in the nineties with Spike
Lee they were they were back and forth.
Speaker 1 (27:32):

beat the Pacers.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Now, yeah, they got they got them Hart and Halliburton,

I got you, yes, all.
Speaker 10 (28:21):
Right, all right, Well it's great that guy was.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
Yeah, you told me you didn't like him. You guys
did not hit it up. And tomorrow's the joke, so
make sure to listen tomorrow. Okay, jokes, that's right. People
need to send jokes in. We need to laugh. We
must laugh together.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
All right, I go away, thank you.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
All right, there is our friend, the one and only,
the one and only we Man Hippie. So speaking of
one of those stars for the Indiana Pacers, it was
a shooting clinic, a surgical takedown by aaron Ne Smith,
and this guy made six three point shots in the
(29:04):
fourth quarter and he was asked about it, and Nie
Smith said, the greatest best feeling, he said, probably the
best feeling in the world when the basketball feels like
and in the basket, rather when the basket feels like
an ocean.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Yeah, that's what he said on his fourth quarter performance.
And it did look like it was the ocean.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
He's just throwing it like You're on a boat in
the middle of the Pacific and you're just tossing stuff
over the side of the boat. Yeah, it was just
nothing that said. When I go play ball, that's what
it's like usually when I'm shooting. So I kind of
know that vibe. Jed who fled is next? Hello Jed
in the Sunshine State, back to back.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Belly to belly in Florida, Hello Jed?
Speaker 4 (29:49):
How bad is Germany?
Speaker 10 (29:51):
Did that guy? Thank God to be back in California.
The drug version of the kirch couch and see you
one way, just like I'm never gonna do crack.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
It's called a.
Speaker 10 (30:00):
Booty bump and you wear those out here, dude, like
they want to check the boxed off and all the
other people you know, do they hang out with and
they be leasers men and women finding in fact way
that I've never ingested that way, like the Stevo way.
You know what I'm saying is that And what a
bunch of lead those man, not not not in the
real world, you know, as at the choice sexuality wise,
(30:23):
that's okay, w w w w A allegations, man, all
I need is racial allegations. And what that guy the
the w can't afford to run fans off. Do they
not realize that, well, this crazy is over, they're gonna
be high paying crickets to come back into the gym.
Now the most important thing of the night. Those are
Charlie's useful And there's no way Charlie's Charlie nor Trumpton's.
(30:46):
No one started down. Charlie Downes is a useful, innocent genius. Okay,
that's been that's not deniable. That's me not buckling up.
I'm saying about that. What kind of rolling were you
talking about earlier? Was they're like left diskuds rolling, rolling
and rolls, Bob from uh was it ye? Roland, Roland,
because your sports hears that it's very very it's very important.
(31:06):
Which what do you think it was? It was like
an Alabama's rollerd eighteen wheeler situation?
Speaker 1 (31:12):
All right, thank you? All right, A great chick.
Speaker 5 (31:15):
I love that song. Roll and rolling rolling?
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Yeah, And do you see we have another frivolous lawsuit
in sports second one?
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Well was it two weeks ago?
Speaker 2 (31:28):
There was the lawsuit filed because Shader Sanders was not
drafted in the first round.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
So some guy from Georgia, by.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
The lawsuit and now a gentleman named Tim from Parker, Colorado,
has filed a lawsuit against the Colorado Rockies, Yes, suing
the team saying he suffered catastrophic permanent injuries. He claims
he suffered them when he was hit in the face
by a foul ball.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Now here's the thing, though, it's not that he said,
well that's legit, you know, even though there's a disclaimer
on all the tickets and all the digital stuff saying well,
if you're hit, you know you are responsible for your
own protection.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
But ball batted balls and bats going to the crowd.
Here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
He's claiming the design of the stadium in Colorado and
the team's record are part of the reason that he
is doing this lawsuit. This was filed in Denver this
week Denver District Court. The guy claims he couldn't see
the ball coming towards him because of the elements of
(32:36):
the stadium, including the ceiling of.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
The luxury box, the overhang, et cetera.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Claims that it was not physically possible for him to
see the foul ball from the seat he was in,
and he also went on to point out the pathetic
play of the team the long standing poor performance on
the field has contributed to a game environment and with spectators,
particularly those in luxury suites, are less engaged with the
(33:05):
action on the field.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
There you go, so good luck.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Although that does have a better chance than the shooter Sanders.
That is a much better chance than the sho shouldar
Sanders because of the the fact he actually got apparently
hit with the foul ball. So let's say hello to
Mike the Leprechaun. Who's next in Boston? Hello, Mike the Leprechaun,
Good morning.

Speaker 5 (36:10):
The worst punishment you received as a child.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
I got the belt, that would be the worst.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
I mean taking video games, and we had our Kig
video games when I was a kid, But I would say.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
The corporal punishment of the belt. Only got it one time,
so that would be the worst. What about you of Loraina.
Speaker 7 (36:27):
Yet somewhere between spankings and soap in my mouth?
Speaker 1 (36:33):
Were you a bad child? Loraina? Do you have a
lot of trouble?
Speaker 7 (36:36):
Well, you know, I was a little sassy one, but
I had four older brothers, so we just got in
a a lot of trouble.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
You know, you're blaming your brothers. They were bad influences
on you.
Speaker 7 (36:45):
Yeah, you of course would never they caused me to
act out.
Speaker 4 (36:49):
You were a.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
Sweet, innocent and then yes, those evil men, Yes, what
about It's a story as old as time ahead.
Speaker 4 (36:58):
Cool.
Speaker 9 (36:58):
There was spankings I ever got, like belt or soap
in the mouth. It wasn't necessarily when I was a child,
but I was. I was in a lot of trouble
when I was in high school and I was not
allowed to after prom I had to come right home.
I was not allowed to go out with everybody else.
So that was Ah, that sucked.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
So unfortunate.
Speaker 4 (37:17):
Yea.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
The good thing about the belt is if you do
it right, you only need to do it one time,
and then for the rest of the kid's life they're like,
oh crap.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
And I don't want the belt. You know, It's just
like one time anyway, what is next here? What do
we have? If it's ask Ben?
Speaker 2 (37:30):
The same old song and dance, but it sounds different
as we snazz it up every week here out.
Speaker 9 (37:35):
The alien O Piner would like to know which is
the alp Which is the better superpower? The ability to
fly or invisibility.
Speaker 2 (37:44):
So invisibility would be better if you could monetize.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
It, like if you could.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
The problem is if you go to commit crime, which
you should never do, Like, wouldn't people see the stuff
that you're taking?
Speaker 1 (37:56):
You know what I mean? If that's the case, then
you might as well just fly, Lorena.
Speaker 7 (38:01):
I want to fly all day, Ben, I hate driving.
If I could fly everywhere, Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
Some people on the internet they say you do fly
every day? What about you, Cooper Loop?
Speaker 5 (38:11):
Yeah, I think I would choose flying as well.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
Okay, but invisibility you just pop up anywhere. You never
have to pay for a ticket. You can go anywhere
you want, right, you never have to play. You'd go
on a plane. They can't see you. How can they
stop you if from.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
Going on a plane, So you could kind of fly
there anyway, all right.
Speaker 9 (38:27):
Next, a late night drug tester would like to know
if maple syrup isn't available. What fruit syrup do you
prefer for pancakes or waffles?
Speaker 2 (38:36):
Yeah, I've pretty much just gone maple syrup, so I
guess I would.
Speaker 5 (38:39):
I don't know what I would.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
I well, well, hold on.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
I have had strawberry, which I guess is kind of
a thing.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
I like strawberry, so I go strawberry. What about you, Loraina?
Speaker 7 (38:48):
I love when I go to I Hop and they
have all the different syrup flavors.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
A little sampler thing.
Speaker 7 (38:54):
Oh yeah, I'll do a little bit here, a little
blueberry on the side, A little regular little strawberry.
Speaker 5 (38:59):
They like that.
Speaker 8 (39:00):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (39:01):
I don't even know what butter pecan. Oh my gosh,
stop it, Okay, I'll stop.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
Yeah, I haven't had most of those. I've had a strawberry.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
I might have had blueberry one time, but I generally
I'm a traditionalist when it comes to the pancake.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (39:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (39:17):
The the butter pecan from ihop is great. The strawberry
is pretty good too.
Speaker 4 (39:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
I mean you put enough sugar in there. It's like
that's all you need. What's next to ask?
Speaker 10 (39:26):

Speaker 1 (39:31):
In the wind.

How did you spend your time on the toilet before phones, newspapers, books,
TVs in the bathroom?
Speaker 1 (39:45):
No TV in the bathroom?
Speaker 2 (39:46):
We had back in the art old days, we had
these things called bathroom books that had all these jokes.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
It was like it was like being on your phone,
but it had.
Speaker 2 (39:53):
Like jokes and fun facts and it was like the
big bathroom Book.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
Of fun facts. I forget what it's called, something like that.

Josh the Bears fan would like to.
Speaker 1 (40:31):
Know, Hi, Josh, what a Nebraska?
Speaker 5 (40:33):
What is your favorite fast food? French fries?
Speaker 1 (40:35):
Quickly, quick, right, I don't I like all McDonald's. Obviously.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
The curly fries from RB's are solid. The Sea salt
from Windy's is pretty good.
Speaker 1 (40:45):

your fries blow
Boom, Shaka laka, it's our birthree. Well here in hour
number three, it's all about the MVP.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Did the voters get it right in pro Bouncy Ball
giving the MVP to Shade Jogis Alexander over Nikola Jokic.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
We'll talk about that.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Many critics of wine that the MVP SGA used foul
baiting during his MVP season. Does this take away from
his dominance and his voter fatigue?
Speaker 1 (00:35):
The real reason.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
That Jokic did not win a third MVP in four
years in Denver and one last thing because of the
amount of people who have reached out to me. If
you are Steve Balmer, do you regret mortgaging your future
with SGA Jugis Alexander in the Paul George Kawhi Leonard
(00:58):
pairing has delivered a finals appearance yet for the Clippers,
and George is gone. Now we'll talk about all of
that and more right now, Hot Niggity Dog, it's our
number three.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
It's just a hunk of metal. It's just a hunk
of metal, that's all it is.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Maler Show.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
We are in the air everywhere arm in arm as
we hit a ballantine blast coast border, the border and.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Beyond on the bast and glaringly powerful microphones of FSR
am moinating live from the elbows we rub elbows from
the Fox Sports radio studios and approved by Pat and
every Berry from Kansas City. That's right, big fans of
(02:03):
the show. And they also love tire Rack. I know
Aery Barry always talks about how much he loves Tyraq.
In fact, for over forty years, tire Rack has been
helping customers find the right tires.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
For how, what and where they drive. Is that not
a mazing?
Speaker 2 (02:18):
I know it is wild, wild and crazy ship fast
and freeback by free road hazard protection with convenient installation
options like mobile tire installation, tire iraq dot com, the
way tire Buying show be So we had an instant
classic in pro bouncy Ball last night as the New
(02:40):
York Knickerbockers. They had the game in the bag and
they let it out of the bag.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
What's in the bag, Well, the bag was a win
and they screwed it over.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
I mean, my god, So now I don't I'm not
a big win percentage guy.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
I don't like that.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
I think it's kind of ridiculous because it's just some
computer algorithm, but if you if you.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Like that kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
The Knicks had a ninety nine point seven percent chance
of winning Game one versus the Pacers, and then they
they went to dukea puke and they just gave it
all away. And that's that we have that also either
a monologue earlier, Uluji a tribute to Jim Irsey, the
owner of the Cols, one of the characters who passed away,
(03:24):
so passed away died. We don't know exactly how he died.
I'm sure that'll come out in the coming days, but
not really important. Our lead this hour, though not from
the gag job the slip on the banana peal by
the Knicks there in the Eastern Conference Finals overtime.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Loss in Game one.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
There was some news from the other series, The Thunder
and the Wolves had a day of rest.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
And if you didn't hear about that by now, maybe not.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
O k C guard Shay Juggas Alexander getting it done.
He wins the NBA's twenty twenty five MVP Award. It
was announced that Giljess Alexander, now the seventh straight MVP winner,
to be born outside of the continental United States.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
He's Canadian. Our friends just up the road anyway.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Nicola Jokic twenty twenty four, twenty twenty two and twenty
twenty one, Joel nbad In twenty twenty three, and Giannis
Denta Kumbo has won a couple of MVPs.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
And if you're curious, because I know you're worried about.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
These things, Sga had seventy one of the one hundred
first place vote.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Now the Nuggets star.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Nicola Jokic finished second. He got the other twenty nine
first place votes, and the Greek freak Identa Coombo was third.
There were twelve different players that received at least one
top five vote in the MVP race.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
So let us discuss the.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Question did the voters get edit right? Did the voters
get it right? Giving the MVP award to Shay jogis
Alexander over Nikola Yoki.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
So I've got Jigsaw, Devil's.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Playground, and Rainbows, and we will combine all these things
together and we are going to make.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Some crunchy tacos, because why not?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
All right, So to kick off here, I have mentioned
in previous episodes of the show and I'm not changing
my position. I support SGA as the MVP in OKAC.
There's a lot of letters that's SGA MVP OKC. And
if you're a sportsman, you know what all that means.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Now.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Jugis Alexander led to Oklahoma City. He was the headliner.
They won sixty eight games, the top record in the
NBA greatest regular season. That team's had one of the
all time great regular seasons. They had a record breaking
point differential, outscore teams by twelve point six points per game.
(06:03):
All things being equal, all things being equal, there are
some traditions that you have here, and one of the
traditions the deciding jigsaw piece to the puzzle. Historically, the
top player locally it's called the best player. The top
player on the team with the top record will most
(06:24):
often win the MVP award unless there is obviously, obviously
someone who is head and shoulders above that player, and
that is not the case, Like even if you are
part of the caucus for the joker, it's not clear
cut that he's head and shoulders better than SGA.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
Right.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
SGA was undeniably the top player on the top team,
and he led the NBA in scoring average, thirty two
points a game and fifty one percent shooting almost fifty
two percent. And if you're into the nerd stats, the
true shooting percentage.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
That's a nerd stat.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
He was the second best ever for a player averaging
thirty two points per game, only Wilt Chamberlain and Lebron
We were there, I say, the same true shooting percentage. Now, furthermore,
there's always criticism. We live in a world. I'm a critic.
I get paid to be a critic. Criticism pays a
lot of money. It pays very well to be a critic.
(07:29):
So many have pointed out and they've whined that the
player Shae jogis Alexander, he used dirty play, foul play,
if you will, in foul baiting, and that is how
he was able to rack up all these stats, and
that's why he won the MVP. And so it's not
really legit because he's just a foul baiter and that's it.
(07:52):
And so does this take away from his dominance that
the perception, perception often reality that the Oklahoma City Guard
Shay jyogis Alexander used foulb So let's go to the scoreboard,
and if you look at the scoreboard. It says right
there on the jumbo tron, it's the devil's playground.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
You are a crafty devil. You are a crafty devil.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Now do I think it is aesthetically pleasing to watch
foul bating?
Speaker 1 (08:23):
I do not. I find it disgusting. I want to
puke in my mouth.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
That being said, his ability SGA's ability to draw fouls
is a testament to his skill set, and he's figured
out how to use his ability to get.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
The most out of it.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
And what if I told you that historically, historically, Alexander
does not rank in the top five, the top ten,
the top fifteen, the top twenty, or even the top
twenty five in attempts from the charity stripe. In a
year you won the MVP, they went back and they
crushed the numbers. When you look back.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
At every MVP, every.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
MVP in pro bouncy ball history, Giljess, Alexander does not
even come close to the top. He ranks twenty seventh.
He's in between Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant in free
throw attempts per game. Yeah, twenty seven, that's okay. I
(09:26):
mean it's a fair amount, but it's it's not all
time James Harden like that.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Again, it's not great to watch and all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Here's the issue, though, all these guys that are that
are bitching and complaining about the foul bitty if the
NBA has a problem with that part of the game,
then they should address the problem.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Like it's like, that's an NBA issue.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
And unless we find out that SGA is paying off
the officials, then that's a different conversation. Now in terms
of the other Komodo d in the room, here is
voter fatigue. The real reason that Jokic did not win
a third MVP in four years is that the reason.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
So it is not now. You can't ignore it. You
can't ignore it.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
I do think there is a percentage of people that
are just burned out.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
And that's another one of those things.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
As a rule of thumb that if you have won
multiple MVP awards, you have to be so much better,
you have to be secretariat.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
That much out in front of everyone else to win
another one. And we have seen voter fatigue.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
The most famous example in the last fifteen years or
so was way back when Lebron was gonna win the
MVP in twenty eleven, and then Derek Rose was the upstart,
so they voted for Derek Rose or the Chicago Bulls
is the MVP, and that no one of those things.
They generally favor the breakout stars, something new, we like,
(10:59):
the new shine, any object and all that stuff. The
other issue that yokichad is the Nuggets were not anywhere
near the same rarefied air as Oklahoma City. I know,
the city one of the all time great regular seasons.
They tried, they played hard, the whole thing, and the
other arguments, well, Jokich had nobody and SGA had all
these other plays.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
All right, I can nitpick this and have a field day.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Now, last thing here. So several of you trolls, you schmocks,
you know who you are. You reached out to me, some.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Of you tried to slide into my DMS. I don't
know why you want to do that.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
All those of you just did the old fashioned email
and he said, you know, you know what I had
been that guy Shay he won the MVP. You know
he was on the Clippers. He was on the Clipper.
What a dumb two you gave away, Shane and you
got a PG thirteen.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Oh man, you must be so embarrassed, devastated.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
I don't know how I was able to show up
to work. How am I able to function? It's a
it's a modern miracle, it is. It's a modern I'm
able to come in here and do a damn radio
show after the Clippers six years ago got rid of
Shay Gilgis Alexander and they got rid of him, and
now he's gone on.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
To win an MVP six years later. So here's how
I'm going to frame it.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
If if you're the Clippers owner Steve Balmer, the richest
man in the NBA, if you're Steve Balmer, do you
regret mortgaging your future to acquire SGA in the Paul
George Kawhi Leonard Perring that has not not produced championships,
(12:44):
has not delivered a championship. So I have an unpopular
opinion here, and let me give you my opinion. If
you could go back in the hot dub time machine
and decide do I want to do this or do
I not want to do it? You would do it again,
And in fact, Steve Balmer would do it ten out
of ten times. You make that trade, and the reason
(13:04):
you make that trade, it's the rainbow philosophy right. For years,
the Clippers were chasing rainbows. They were looking for that
holy Grail player that would pick them instead of the
other glamour teams in the NBA.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
The Clippers were not a glamour team.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Now they are, and so the Clippers the price of admission,
the cost to get a seat at the cool Kids table,
was an MVP season for SGA.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
That was the cost. They wanted that Holy Grail player.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
They'd been pursuing it, chasing rainbows unattainable. They found the
pot of gold, and unfortunately for them, Kawhi Leonard is
not very good at judging talent, and the Clippers were
working with him.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
He's coming out of Toronto. They said, we'll get whoever
you want.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
We've got all these draft picks, whatever you want, pick anybody.
We can get anyone we want, and he hand picked
Kawhi Leonard put the claw on Paul George. If he
had said I'd rather play, I don't know. I think
of the players at the time, James Harden someone like that.
He could have gotten that player anyone just about outside
(14:20):
of Lebron and outside of Steph Curry. But that's that's
the guy he wanted.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
He wanted Paul George.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Oklahoma City said we want Gil Just Alexander and so
there you go.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
But you don't change it. Like that was my take at.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
The time, and I Balmer, I think, would do the
same thing. That was a pivot point. That was a
pivot point. Out with the old, in with the new.
It's also a great final tribute. This is something that
no one's talking about.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
But if you look at the.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
The Clippers, the reason that Gil justs Alexander was a
Clipper was because of Jerry. It's like the final tributary
died and you know this is his last guy that
he picked.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
There's not a lottery pick.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
He was, I believe a mid round pick and has
blossomed into a star SGA and good for him, good
tribute to the logo. But again just to recap, like
the price to get a seat at the Cool Kids
table was you had to get Kawhi Leonard. Kawhi Leonard
said I'm not going unless I get Paul George. And
so the price to get Paul George was SGA And
(15:30):
so he wins an MVP.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
That's fine. It is the Ben Mallord Show. We are

Lee they were they were back and forth.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
Yeah, you told me you didn't like him. You guys
did not hit it up. And tomorrow's the joke, so
make sure to listen tomorrow. Okay, jokes, that's right. People
need to send jokes in. We need to laugh. We
must laugh together.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
All right, I go away, thank you.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
All right, there is our friend, the one and only,
the one and only we Man Hippie. So speaking of
one of those stars for the Indiana Pacers, it was
a shooting clinic, a surgical takedown by aaron Ne Smith,
and this guy made six three point shots in the
(29:04):
fourth quarter and he was asked about it, and Nie
Smith said, the greatest best feeling, he said, probably the
best feeling in the world when the basketball feels like
and in the basket, rather when the basket feels like
an ocean.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Yeah, that's what he said on his fourth quarter performance.
And it did look like it was the ocean.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
He's just throwing it like You're on a boat in
the middle of the Pacific and you're just tossing stuff
over the side of the boat. Yeah, it was just
nothing that said. When I go play ball, that's what
it's like usually when I'm shooting. So I kind of
know that vibe. Jed who fled is next? Hello Jed
in the Sunshine State, back to back.
Speaker 1 (29:46):

that's okay, w w w w A allegations, man, all
I need is racial allegations. And what that guy the
the w can't afford to run fans off. Do they
not realize that, well, this crazy is over, they're gonna
be high paying crickets to come back into the gym.
Now the most important thing of the night. Those are
Charlie's useful And there's no way Charlie's Charlie nor Trumpton's.
(30:46):
No one started down. Charlie Downes is a useful, innocent genius. Okay,
that's been that's not deniable. That's me not buckling up.
I'm saying about that. What kind of rolling were you
talking about earlier? Was they're like left diskuds rolling, rolling
and rolls, Bob from uh was it ye? Roland, Roland,
because your sports hears that it's very very it's very important.
(31:06):
Which what do you think it was? It was like
an Alabama's rollerd eighteen wheeler situation?
Speaker 1 (31:12):
All right, thank you? All right, A great chick.
Speaker 5 (31:15):
I love that song. Roll and rolling rolling?
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Yeah, And do you see we have another frivolous lawsuit
in sports second one?
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Well was it two weeks ago?
Speaker 2 (31:28):
There was the lawsuit filed because Shader Sanders was not
drafted in the first round.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
So some guy from Georgia, by.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
The lawsuit and now a gentleman named Tim from Parker, Colorado,
has filed a lawsuit against the Colorado Rockies, Yes, suing
the team saying he suffered catastrophic permanent injuries. He claims
he suffered them when he was hit in the face
by a foul ball.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Now here's the thing, though, it's not that he said,
well that's legit, you know, even though there's a disclaimer
on all the tickets and all the digital stuff saying well,
if you're hit, you know you are responsible for your
own protection.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
But ball batted balls and bats going to the crowd.
Here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
He's claiming the design of the stadium in Colorado and
the team's record are part of the reason that he
is doing this lawsuit. This was filed in Denver this
week Denver District Court. The guy claims he couldn't see
the ball coming towards him because of the elements of
(32:36):
the stadium, including the ceiling of.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
The luxury box, the overhang, et cetera.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Claims that it was not physically possible for him to
see the foul ball from the seat he was in,
and he also went on to point out the pathetic
play of the team the long standing poor performance on
the field has contributed to a game environment and with spectators,
particularly those in luxury suites, are less engaged with the
(33:05):
action on the field.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
There you go, so good luck.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Although that does have a better chance than the shooter Sanders.
That is a much better chance than the sho shouldar
Sanders because of the the fact he actually got apparently
hit with the foul ball. So let's say hello to
Mike the Leprechaun. Who's next in Boston? Hello, Mike the Leprechaun,
Good morning.

Speaker 5 (36:10):
The worst punishment you received as a child.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
I got the belt, that would be the worst.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
I mean taking video games, and we had our Kig
video games when I was a kid, But I would say.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
The corporal punishment of the belt. Only got it one time,
so that would be the worst. What about you of Loraina.
Speaker 7 (36:27):
Yet somewhere between spankings and soap in my mouth?
Speaker 1 (36:33):
Were you a bad child? Loraina? Do you have a
lot of trouble?
Speaker 7 (36:36):
Well, you know, I was a little sassy one, but
I had four older brothers, so we just got in
a a lot of trouble.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
You know, you're blaming your brothers. They were bad influences
on you.
Speaker 7 (36:45):
Yeah, you of course would never they caused me to
act out.
Speaker 4 (36:49):
You were a.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
Sweet, innocent and then yes, those evil men, Yes, what
about It's a story as old as time ahead.
Speaker 4 (36:58):
Cool.
Speaker 9 (36:58):
There was spankings I ever got, like belt or soap
in the mouth. It wasn't necessarily when I was a child,
but I was. I was in a lot of trouble
when I was in high school and I was not
allowed to after prom I had to come right home.
I was not allowed to go out with everybody else.
So that was Ah, that sucked.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
So unfortunate.
Speaker 4 (37:17):
Yea.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
The good thing about the belt is if you do
it right, you only need to do it one time,
and then for the rest of the kid's life they're like,
oh crap.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
And I don't want the belt. You know, It's just
like one time anyway, what is next here? What do
we have? If it's ask Ben?
Speaker 2 (37:30):
The same old song and dance, but it sounds different
as we snazz it up every week here out.
Speaker 9 (37:35):
The alien O Piner would like to know which is
the alp Which is the better superpower? The ability to
fly or invisibility.
Speaker 2 (37:44):
So invisibility would be better if you could monetize.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
It, like if you could.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
The problem is if you go to commit crime, which
you should never do, Like, wouldn't people see the stuff
that you're taking?
Speaker 1 (37:56):
You know what I mean? If that's the case, then
you might as well just fly, Lorena.
Speaker 7 (38:01):
I want to fly all day, Ben, I hate driving.
If I could fly everywhere, Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
Some people on the internet they say you do fly
every day? What about you, Cooper Loop?
Speaker 5 (38:11):
Yeah, I think I would choose flying as well.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
Okay, but invisibility you just pop up anywhere. You never
have to pay for a ticket. You can go anywhere
you want, right, you never have to play. You'd go
on a plane. They can't see you. How can they
stop you if from.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
Going on a plane, So you could kind of fly
there anyway, all right.
Speaker 9 (38:27):

if maple syrup isn't available. What fruit syrup do you
prefer for pancakes or waffles?

have all the different syrup flavors.

Speaker 1 (39:08):
Yeah, I haven't had most of those. I've had a strawberry.
Speaker 2 (39:10):

I'm a traditionalist when it comes to the pancake.
