Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number two, hour two of
our radio program, and we welcome me in to talk
some NBA, but not a game, not a game, but
instead the gripe of a former player, at least a
former start is still playing in the NBA. DeMarcus Cousins

(00:24):
lamenting the fact that he got a raw deal in Sacramento.
George Carl pushed back against that. He clapped back at
DeMarcus Cousins. So whose side are you on, DeMarcus Cousins
or George Carl. We'll go there right now in our
number two here it is the King of Pain. Welcome,

(00:51):
in the beginning of another hour of the Band Mather Show.
We are in the air everywhere as we walk on water,
or at least try coast to coast, border of order
and beyond on the mast and tremendously powerful microphones of

(01:13):
F s R emmanating live from the box, the Penalty Box,
the Fox Sports Radio Studios at a secret location somewhere
in the north Woods. In our lead this hour does
come from pro Bouncy Ball, so little inside radio. How

(01:34):
we make the hot dogs. The plan was the loose
plan was all right. So something really cool is gonna
happen in these NBA games, and so we'll get a
lot of a lot of mileage out of that, a
lot of mileage out of that good gas mileage on
the show and the best laid plans of mice men
and gas bags. There was only one game, one game

(01:55):
worthy of conversation in the NBA. That was the Jazz
and the Rich. We talked about that last hour. And
since I have attention deficit disorder and I don't like
to repeat myself, unlike others that do this for a living,
I'd like to talk about different things. Otherwise things get
rather stale around these parts, and who wants that. So
the Sixers Raptors game was not much of a talker

(02:16):
and the Nuggets Warriors game not either. Golden State with
a twenty point win, yet again, there was only one
lead change in the entire game. The Nuggets didn't lead
the game early by twelve points, but by the end
the Warriors were raining down three pointers. As the new
sixth man of the Golden State Warriors Steph Curry at

(02:38):
thirty four points and Jordan Pool, it's like his bar
mitzvah here, he's become a man. In these first couple
of games against the Golden State Warriors in the playoffs,
but we'll talk about that more later. The story here
is actually from a player that played twelve minutes in
this game, twelve of them and had a total of
eight points. And we'll explain who here. Since most of

(03:01):
the playoff games were duds, we have a war of
words to dissect that player who I referenced he wears
number four for Denver Nuggets backup center DeMarcus Cousins. Now
you're not a basketball person. He was rambling loquaciously about
his old stomping grounds in northern California and Sacramento. So

(03:26):
I don't know if you saw this or not. Maybe
not the rambunctious the Marcus Cousins did not bite his tongue.
When asked if there was anything that he would do
differently to change his perception around the NBA, Cousins, in
a recent interview, said that he wishes he had skipped
the pre Jaft workout twelve years ago with the Kings,

(03:49):
and then he proceeded to go on a rant, he
woe is me rant, saying what did SAK do for me?
Cousins grunted to the reporter beside say my name draft day,
I did more. I did more for them than they
did for me. That's just being honest. Cousins went on

(04:11):
his rant. He says, just being one hundred percent honest,
I had two owners, three GM, seven coaches in seven
years I was there seven years. I had three GMS,
two owners, and seven coaches. He repeated himself for those
in the back of the room, just to make sure
they heard it. Not more. Much more needs to be said, well, wrong, wrong,

(04:35):
much more needed to be said, because shortly after that,
one of those seven coaches, one of those former coaches
in Sacramento, George Carl By George By George then said,
wait a minute, I want to get a piece of it.
I went in on this action, the Hall of Fame coach.
Remember they let everyone in the Pro Basketball of Fame.

(04:56):
So George Carl responded to cousins commentary about how tough
his life was in Sacramento, and Carl responded by saying,
let's see, paid you approximately fifty million, gave you the
opportunity to play professional basketball for a living. And then
he had the thinking face Emogi and the flushed face

(05:19):
Emogi side by side. All right, So let us discuss.
You've got George Carl who points out the financial riches
that the Marcus Cousins got. You have Cousins lamenting the
fact that he had a lot of coaches and a
lot of GMS and owners and all that. So toss
up question whose side are you on? Are you on

(05:41):
de Marcus cousins side that he's the victim in all this,
or are you on George Carl's side that it wasn't
all that bad? Let it go all right? So the
arrow the side I'm on here, the arrow is pointing
at George Carl. I aligned with George Carl more than
Cousins on this. When I've got Keystone Light Denominator and

(06:04):
Theodore Roosevelt and we'll lock all of these random things
together and we'll venture out into the wilderness now number one.
So the answer the question is George Carl and Marcus
Cousins is a sulking over the way that his NBA
career has turned out at the very peak of the

(06:27):
man's superpowers. To Marcus Cousins, when you go back to
when he was putting up ridiculous stat lines night after night,
this guy was a machine. They were empty numbers in Sacramento.
Great stats, but not a winning ball player. And there
is a difference. Like Cousins was the living, breathing embodiment
of the old Keystone Light marketing campaign, the bitter beer face.

(06:52):
Now seeing him playing those years in Sacramento, how his
career now has turned out since then he left the
capitol of California. He wishes, I know, deep down, he
wishes he was still in Sacramento. Cousins has become a
basketball nomad. He's a hobo going around the backwoods of
the NBA as a backup. And he has now played

(07:14):
for six teams over the past five seasons, including missing
entire year because he popped his achilles tended. So in
the years since he left Sacramento, six teams in five seasons,
but really only four seasons. And he goes about as
well as a three legged Clydesdale on defense. He moves

(07:39):
around at the speed of a three legged Clydesdale on defense,
and alo he can still score the basketball. You can't
play him more than a couple of minutes because DeMarcus
Cousins is a liability at this point on defense. Now,
the second thing here is DeMarcus Cousins the harmless victim
in this story that he just got picked by a

(08:02):
sad sack Sacramento franchise, a joke of an organization, and
he had no role, no active role in the outcome
of events. And so I am shaking my head no
on this. DeMarcus cousins self destructive behavior helped fan the

(08:22):
flames of this function junction in Sacramento. And while it's
true that DeMarcus Cousins had there was a lot of
up people. And I'm not here to defend the Sacramento Kings.
I have no skin in the game on that. They've
been bad for my entire life outside of a couple
of years with Chris Webber and Jason Williams and Vladi Divons.

(08:44):
Outside of that, they've been a joke. But DeMarcus Cousins,
despite all that, all that was going on around him,
he was also part of the problem. Look at the mirror,
mirror in the wall. He was a malcontent. He was
subversive from those that were around the Sacramento Kings in
the locker room, squabbling with coaches, and he is the

(09:07):
definition of a fox in the henhouse. Look it up.
Coaches assassin, not a coach killer, a coach assassin. The
reason there was a variety of coaches, a variety that
came through there was to pacify DeMarcus Cousins. They tried
all kinds of coaches. They tried hard ass coaches, they

(09:29):
tried mister nice guy coaches somewhere in the middle, and
they could not find a coach that would be able
to connect with DeMarcus Cousins. Everything backfire. The one common
denominator in all of that, The common denominator was DeMarcus Cousins.
They tried coaches with Hall of Fame resumes, coaches that

(09:50):
had been to the NBA Finals before. They tried new coaches,
old coaches, you name it, and none of it worked.
And so there was this divisiveness. Everyone was walking on
a shows, the squabbling, the infighting, which was good for
sports talk rader, not great because it's Sacramento or off
the radar, but good. And that led to mediocrity. Mediocrity

(10:13):
meadows is what it led to, and guys did not
want to coach DeMarcus Cousins. His teammates did not flourish
around Cousins. Coaches loathed working with him, and so there
were high levels of toxicity in that situation. All right,
final point, So what is the lesson? What is the
lesson of the latest round of gripes from DeMarcus Cousins. Well,

(10:39):
the lesson is, listen, this is a guy who is
wallowing in victimhood, showing classic entitlement. It's everyone else's fault.
I'm an innocent victim in all of this. Boo hoo hoo.
It's not fair. Oh wait, wait, wait, wait wait. Now,
you typically have little control over who drafts you in sports,

(11:01):
that is correct, unless you pull a power play. So
you don't control that. But you can make the most
of things with effort and attitude. And it's one of
those things in life. And we're talking about sports here,
but it's a good analogy to life in general. All right,
life consists, you're not It's not about holding good cards

(11:24):
like some people think they have to get a good
deck of cards, a good hand of card, but it's
really playing what you got right and playing those that
you hold. Well, that's the key to it. And you'd
rather have half a loaf of bread than none if
you're hungry, all right, you'd rather have half a loaf
none And you look at one of the great quotes

(11:46):
of all time. Theodore Roosevelt said this back many many
years ago, that you do what you can with what
you have where you are, and Cousins didn't do that.
He was worried about a number were run Numero Uno,
who's in the mirror. He worried about his own stats,
and he got it great stats. They were wonderful stats,

(12:07):
all of Fame stats. And when it came to the
other stuff, he was bird brained. Creating a good environment
and listening to coaches, there was no accountability. So I
am on George Carl's side on this, and as far
as how I relate over the years, listen, I've worked
with some people who go the extra mile. I've had

(12:27):
different people. I've done shows what I've been with Eddie
a long time, but other people on the air at
different places I've worked, and some of them have been
good teammates and they've also worked hard. Some of them
have been lazy s obs. And somewhere along the way,
and I wasn't always liked this, but somewhere along the
way I figured out that here's how I'm going to

(12:48):
handle the situation. If I'm working with someone who's not
proficient at their job. They don't have ambition and they
don't have the grit. I'm not gonna worry about that.
I'm going to control what I can get roll, and
I'm gonna try to help everyone do their job as
well as they can. But if they're not into it,
if they can't figure it out, that's on them. But

(13:08):
I can. I can control my product and try to
try to help the show sound as good as possible.
Whatever show I'm on, right, prepare for it, put in
the work, put in the hours, all that kind of stuff.
But at the same time, help out as much as
I can the people that are around me. But if
they're not into it, then they're not into it. But

(13:29):
it's one of those deals. You got to figure that out.
And Cousins, when he was at the peak, he totally
shut everyone out and he didn't want anyone to help
him at all, and he thought everyone was out to
sabotage his run there in Sacramento. All right, it is
the band at Malors Show. If you would like to
be part, you can join us here at eight seven
seven ninety nine on Funds. We had an interesting call

(13:52):
last hour. If you missed it, this this guy named
from Illinois, Austin. He's never called the show before. He
claimed that every time I say the Ben Maller Show
that his iPhone automatically starts to dial someone randomly. His
mom old his current boss, that was old boss. Maybe

(14:14):
it will be his old boss. So we're trying to
figure out what happened. My theory is that it's beer
drinking Brian somehow has crossed over to the other side.
He's become like Poltergeist and he's messing around here, kind
of goofing around with some of the fans of the
show's phones. We have not had anyone else collaborate confirm

(14:37):
confirmation of this story. It is interesting. Take your calls
eight seven seven, also on Twitter at Ben Mallard. It's
at Ben Maeller if you'd like to be part. We've
got Grabass Part six and the NFL's first billionaire. Who

any time to follow your host on Twitter. He's at

There he goes Joe, who startingly called by calling me cheap,
and then we found out during the call that's he's
got many of the same quality as I have. So
we actually have a lot in common, me and Joe.
And he complained about having to be on hold because

(21:38):
the show's somewhat popular. You might be on hold for
a while if you call in. So grab Ass part six,
Grab Ass Part six? What is this all about? So
it's back the sixth edition of the match. So if
you enjoy athletes slapping each other on the ass having

(21:59):
a grand old time, there, you'll get your fix of it.
As Tom Brady has decided to partner up with Aaron Rogers,
it was announced with much fanfare by Turner Sports that
the matchup will be Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers. They
will face off on a golf course with Patrick Mahomes

(22:19):
and Josh Allen. It's gonna take place June first, June first,
a twelve whole event at the Wing Golf Club in
Lost Wages, Nevada, right off the Iconic Strip, the Las
Vegas Strip, and they're gonna play some golf here in June.
It will be it's gonna be here about one hundred

(22:41):
and seven in Vegas on June first, give or take. Yeah,
about one hundred and seven roughly, roughly speaking. And they're
doing some social media promotion the players involved here to
try to ratch it up excitement for the game. Be
sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show
weekdays two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. Hey, what's up everybody?

(23:03):
It's me three time pro bowler Levarrington and I couldn't
be more excited to announce a new podcast called Up
on Game? What is up on Game? You asked, along
with my fellow pro bowler t J. Hudshman's otta and
Super Bowl champion. Yep, that's right, Plexico Birds. You can
only name a show with that type of talent on
it Up on Game. We're going to be sharing our

(23:26):
real life experiences loaded with teachable moments. Listen to Up
on Game with me LeVar Arrington, T J. Hushman's Outa
and Plexico Birds on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or
wherever you get your podcasts from. News from the NFL.
We had the Washington Commanders respondmandos responding to the allegations

(23:54):
of financial impropriety. Did they say, hey, we did it,
We did it. You gotta were guilty. Apparently, they said
a nineteen page letter to the Federal Trade Commission calling
former employee and chief witness Jason Friedman a serial liar. Oh,

(24:14):
they have gone to the liar liar pants on fire defense. Yeah,
and we'll see how that works out for him. I'm
guessing they'll look a little deeper into it than you know,
oh he's lying, well than never mind, Well, you would say, hey,
this is uh, this is probably a lie. But every
once in a while, it's not like, I mean, we
remember the word old enough Eddie to remember en Ron

(24:36):
Bernie made off Like occasionally these things do happen where
there are actually probably more than occasionally. Cooking the books
is the term cooking the books. All right, it is
the Bennett Mallers Show. As we press on a speaking
of cooking the books, we had a couple of listeners
in Kansas Cy said, hey, you see this. Do you

(24:58):
see this? The first billionaire in the NFL among players.
It's on track, on pace. Of course, always things can change,
but at this point it is Patrick Mahomes, Mahomie, and
he is set up to be the NFL's first billionaire players.
Not there yet. He's got the massive contract five hundred

(25:21):
three million in NFL salary. But there's some investments that
Mahomes has made here that are supposedly paying off tremendous dividends,
and the contracts enough to be very happy. But the endorsements,
he makes twenty two million dollars a year, Patrick Mahomes

(25:42):
to sell you athletic shoes, chocolate, sunglasses, sports cards, cable television,
you name it, insurance, video games, beer, all kinds of
various products. But he's also invested in the Kansas City Royals,

(26:04):
and Mahomes has a ten million dollars piece. He owns
ten million dollars of the Kansas City Roys. There has
never been a professional sports franchise in the legacy sports
leagues in America that has sold for less money. The
amount of money that these teams are sold for every

(26:24):
so often when they're sold always goes up. The Royals,
for example, I was reading this earlier, The Royals. In
twenty oh five, the franchise was worth one hundred and
eighty seven million. In twenty twenty it went to over
one billion. In Kansas City, over a billion dollars. And
Mahomes you look at his age and his early the

(26:46):
mid twenties here, and you look at the timeline on
how long he's going to own that investment and how
much that's going to be worth. He also owns part
of a sporting Kansas City, the professional MLS franchise there,
and their franchise values have gone up, so he's gonna
make a ton of money on that. And there's several

(27:07):
other investments where he's the brand ambassador and they've they've
done very well, very very well. And so Mahomes is
set up with some other investments to do pretty well
to be a million a billionaire. The first NBA billionaire,
I believe it was Magic Johnson, if I'm not mistaken,

(27:28):
the first guy from basketball I don't know about baseball.
They've been some guys that made a lot of money
in baseball. Let's go to the phones and let's say
hello to sir scratch Off the highways and byways of Arkansas. Hello,
Sir scratch Off. Oh he's back. He's back and better

third degree, this is one big band gets grail all right, Kobao.
So last year all I heard from you and Roberto
was that the San Francisco Giants would eventually come back

(34:49):
down to earth. That never happened, and they went on
to win the NLST. Then I heard from mostly from
Roberto that it was like a fluke season. Guys were
having career years at a late age and it wasn't repeatable. Well,
now the Giants are off to a hot start again, Ben,
Are they legit this time? Well, they didn't win on Monday,

(35:11):
and so I'm unsettled on the Giants. The twenty twenty
two squad is not battle tested yet. San Francisco has
played six of their games against the Marlins and the Guardians,
a couple of middling franchises. You don't prove anything against
those kind of teams. The measuring stick for the Bay
Area Warriors a baseball is this week against the Mets.

(35:31):
Head to head against the Dodgers. That will help validate
that they are more than just a one year wonder.
I am still skeptical. Next, there seems to be some
disagreement among analysts as to how the Broncos should approach
extending Russell Wilson and anything. That the Broncos should come
to a deal asap before it becomes more expensive, something
that they should take a similar approach as the Rams

(35:53):
did with Matthew Stafford. I think they waited a couple
of years. Ben, what do you think is the right move? Well,
the Rams waited one year, But I always advocate letting
a player prove himself when they change teams. Russell Wilson
in Seattle's one thing. We don't know how he's going
to assimilate to Denver. He's in for a culture shock.
If you're being around Pete Carroll all those years. We
know he's locked in. He's got money, He's got twenty

(36:15):
five million. But I'd wait next. Joe Girardi made some
changes to the lineup. Most notably, he moved Bryce Harper
to the second spot in the order, and he said
that the number three spot used to be a glamor spot,
but he thinks it's changed now. He thinks there's glamor
and hitting second. Do you agree with him? Ben no I? Listen?
Bryce Harper is flattering the analytical department. Joe Girardi has
been messing around where that Philly's line up for all

(36:38):
season year at the beginning the year, it's a mess,
so win for me. He pass
