0:00
Speaker 1: Boom, shaka Laca. It's our na burn three, so the
0:08
Speaker 1: our three here, It's fair to say that Bam out
0:10
Speaker 1: of Bio's record performance eighty three points, most points scored
0:15
Speaker 1: an NBA game since the sixties and the second most
0:18
Speaker 1: all time, did not hit the mark. It didn't hit
0:20
Speaker 1: the bulls eye. People very upset, very upset, and people
0:24
Speaker 1: calling for the NBA to put some kind of mark
0:27
Speaker 1: next to Bam out of Bayo's name because of the
0:29
Speaker 1: shenanigans that Eric Spolstra and the Heat pulled not exactly
0:33
Speaker 1: the darlings of the basketball community. So the question give
0:37
Speaker 1: me the odds on the NBA slapping an asterisk on
0:40
Speaker 1: Bam out of Bio's eighty three point game for the
0:43
Speaker 1: Miami Heat against the Wizards. Also, is one hundred and
0:48
Speaker 1: one points a real possibility for wemby someday or is
0:53
Speaker 1: this just content farming gone wild. We'll take a look
0:58
Speaker 1: at that story as well, and how does Isaiah Thomas
1:04
Speaker 1: Isaiah Thomas selling Kareem abdul Jabbar over Michael Jordan fall
1:10
Speaker 1: apart under scrutiny the Pistons guard Zeke from back in
1:14
Speaker 1: the day. We'll discuss that. We also have asked Ben,
1:18
Speaker 1: as we roam around this audio world. Here it is
1:22
Speaker 1: our number three. Well that didn't go as planned. Welcome.
1:28
Speaker 1: In the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malors Show.
1:34

1:54
Speaker 1: vast and outrageously powerful microphones of FSR mondating live from

2:06
Speaker 1: Sports Radio studios. We're out back. John and Joanna from

3:12
Speaker 1: our lead story this hour is from pro bouncy Ball
3:17
Speaker 1: and it is still alive. It's the gizmo that keeps
3:20
Speaker 1: on giving from South Florida, and everyone's talking about this.
3:24
Speaker 1: Bam Bam bambam goes for eighty three points. Eighty three points.
3:32
Speaker 1: Miami Heat assumed the position that this would lead to
3:35
Speaker 1: nothing but goodwill. Who could possibly have a problem with
3:39
Speaker 1: an eighty three point game. Apparently most everyone has a
3:44
Speaker 1: problem with this. It has inspired a primal scream, a
3:48
Speaker 1: visceral reaction as it continues the watering down of pro
3:54
Speaker 1: bouncy Ball. Now, if you have not been following this,
3:58
Speaker 1: if you've been off the grid, down by the river,
4:03
Speaker 1: no cell reception and can't really connect with the outside world,
4:06
Speaker 1: I get it. There's a lot of people that are
4:09
Speaker 1: commenting on this. I could just pretty much pick anything
4:12
Speaker 1: I want. The one I want to focus in on
4:16
Speaker 1: and play off of is the comment by mister big
4:19
Speaker 1: shot there, Robert Rory, a Laker Rocket Spur Journeyman player
4:27
Speaker 1: Robert Rory, big Shot Bob so Former Laker Robert Rory,
4:32
Speaker 1: appearing on state sponsored Laker TV, suggested that Bam out
4:38
Speaker 1: of Bio the eighty three point game should not have
4:43
Speaker 1: been celebrated the way that it was celebrated because of
4:46
Speaker 1: the way the game ended. And then Robert Rory tossed out,
4:50
Speaker 1: he's not alone. I'm just using him as a point
4:53
Speaker 1: of reference here. Robert Rory said the game deserves an asters,
4:57
Speaker 1: that the eighty three points deserves an asters. He's not.
5:00
Speaker 1: It's the number of people that pay very close attention
5:03
Speaker 1: to this that feel like there should be some kind
5:08
Speaker 1: of mention on just how bogus this accomplishment is in
5:15
Speaker 1: meaning it's not as big an accomplishment as it would
5:18
Speaker 1: appear to be to the untrained eye. So that is
5:22
Speaker 1: a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question,
5:26
Speaker 1: give me the odds, Give me the odds. All these
5:30
Speaker 1: people grumbling, what are the odds on the NBA slapping
5:34
Speaker 1: an asterisk on bam Autobio's eighty three point game for
5:38
Speaker 1: the Miami Heat this week? So my views on this,
5:42
Speaker 1: I've got trivial pursuit Farmer John and Morton's Kosher salt,
5:48
Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these together and we
5:52
Speaker 1: are going to break the demonic spell which is over
5:55
Speaker 1: Lucky Tony. That's right, He's just under some kind of
6:00
Speaker 1: demonic spell. So, first of all, to answer the question,
6:03
Speaker 1: give me the odds on the NBA slapping an asterisk
6:06
Speaker 1: on Bam out of Byo's eighty three point game. I
6:09
Speaker 1: love capitol. L love the people who are pretending like
6:15
Speaker 1: the NBA is going to put some kind of asterisk
6:17
Speaker 1: on this. Do you not understand who the leader is
6:20
Speaker 1: of the NBA. The odds of Adam Silver putting an
6:23
Speaker 1: asterisk next to a player's accomplishment are the same odds
6:27
Speaker 1: as Sasquatch being hired to referee Game seven of the
6:33
Speaker 1: NBA Finals. I'm gonna set the malarods at zero point
6:36
Speaker 1: zero to infinity and beyond zero. Squad Douche buppkis absolutely zero.
6:45
Speaker 1: Adam Silver does not do asterisks. He does not. He's
6:51
Speaker 1: doctor feel good is what he is. He wants everyone
6:54
Speaker 1: to feel great. Go Team Go, Go, Team go, Yeah,
7:00
Speaker 1: especially about their stats. That's the business he's it. This
7:04
Speaker 1: is the same league that treats load management like it's
7:08
Speaker 1: a wellness retreat and embraced it for years while it
7:11
Speaker 1: killed their product. It killed their product, and they loved it.
7:17
Speaker 1: They and tanking. It's only recently that these bozos figured out,
7:22
Speaker 1: wait a minute, If half the teams in our business
7:26
Speaker 1: are not trying to win and eighty five percent of
7:29
Speaker 1: our star players are so soft they don't want to play,
7:33
Speaker 1: this isn't good, right, But they treat tanking like it's
7:38
Speaker 1: urban planning. They did for so long. Now they're all
7:40
Speaker 1: of a sudden up in arms. You think that guy,
7:44
Speaker 1: that guy who is a like I don't know if
7:48
Speaker 1: he's from the Lizard plan, I don't know. I have
7:52
Speaker 1: no idea, But you think that guy is going to
7:54
Speaker 1: slap a scarlet letter on Adam or Bam out of
7:59
Speaker 1: bios boxer. Adam Silver's not gonna do that. It's not
8:02
Speaker 1: having Silver would rather rename gravity. If a player complained
8:07
Speaker 1: about falling too hard, never let Robert or he does
8:12
Speaker 1: have a point. When you are up by twenty five
8:15
Speaker 1: points and you are intentionally fouling to get your guy
8:19
Speaker 1: more possessions, that's not basketball. I don't know what it is.
8:24
Speaker 1: It ain't basketball, and it's embarrassing, and it just goes
8:30
Speaker 1: against everything that these kind of things are supposed to be.
8:35
Speaker 1: And it's really an open and shutcase. I don't know
8:37
Speaker 1: how one can see the highlights of the Miami Heat
8:40
Speaker 1: players intentionally fouling up twenty five points or more to
8:46
Speaker 1: help their guy finagle the record book. And then there's
8:50
Speaker 1: like these dudes who are just like they carry the
8:53
Speaker 1: water for the NBA. And I don't understand why people
8:56
Speaker 1: are some people are complaining it. Oh my god, I
8:58
Speaker 1: don't get it. My god, how do you live in
9:04
Speaker 1: this world? It's like running up the score in Monopoly.
9:08
Speaker 1: And so my advice, and again, I think there's a
9:10
Speaker 1: zero percent chance based on what I've seen, unless there's
9:13
Speaker 1: a new commissioner that actually has balls that would do
9:17
Speaker 1: something like this. But go buy a trivial pursuit set
9:21
Speaker 1: and put the answer in bold fine print. Bam scored
9:26
Speaker 1: eighty three points in an NBA game with tremendous late
9:29
Speaker 1: game choreography. And while the NBA won't add an asterisk
9:36
Speaker 1: because they they don't have the backbone to do that,
9:39
Speaker 1: real knowledgeable fans already have. It has been overwhelming. I
9:45
Speaker 1: am so proud. I'm so happy that so many people
9:47
Speaker 1: agree with my judgment that this is one of the
9:50
Speaker 1: most fugazy things that has happened in sports. It is
9:55
Speaker 1: more than a blemish, and the people are obtuse. They
9:58
Speaker 1: don't understand it that Bam out of Bio and Coach
10:02
Speaker 1: Spo and everyone else is sullied by what happened. It
10:06
Speaker 1: hurts every single one of those that participated. It is
10:10
Speaker 1: a doozy, a real doozy, and they're so dumb they
10:14
Speaker 1: don't realize that that's gonna that stank is going to
10:18
Speaker 1: follow them around all right now. Secondly, speaking of following, following,
10:23
Speaker 1: Bam out of Bios is historically shady. Eighty three point
10:27
Speaker 1: night former Fox Sports radio host Meta world Piece or
10:33
Speaker 1: Ron art Test or whatever. I think he's got a
10:35
Speaker 1: third name, whatever you want to call. Now, how do
10:37
Speaker 1: I know Ron ar Test worked here? I did a
10:40
Speaker 1: show with him. Uh yeah, back when Jay Moore hosted
10:44
Speaker 1: a show in the middays, one of our many shows
10:47
Speaker 1: that's been here, and Jay was away and I got
10:50
Speaker 1: called in and I co hosted with Metaworld Peace, who's
10:54
Speaker 1: a really good dude, really good dude. I kind of
10:56
Speaker 1: felt like I was talking to Weed man hippie anyway,
10:59
Speaker 1: Meta World has weighed in longtime NBA player, and he
11:04
Speaker 1: believes that Wemby is going to eventually break Wilt Chamberlain's
11:11
Speaker 1: one hundred point record. Yeah. On social media, world Peace
11:18
Speaker 1: ron Our test the man that helped start the Malice
11:21
Speaker 1: at the Palace, the greatest night of talk radio that
11:24
Speaker 1: I've done in terms of basketball. So Meadow world Piece
11:26
Speaker 1: says that he believes Victor Wemban Yama of San Antonio
11:31
Speaker 1: will eventually have at least one hundred and one points
11:33
Speaker 1: in a game. He was asked about all of this.
11:38
Speaker 1: Wemby was recently when asked if he was inspired by
11:43
Speaker 1: bam Adebayo's eighty three point game, Wemby just kind of shrugged,
11:48
Speaker 1: just kind of shrugged. That was not the answer that
11:51
Speaker 1: the reporter was looking for. So the question, is one
11:55
Speaker 1: hundred and one points, one hundred and one points a
12:00
Speaker 1: real possibility for Wemby someday or is this just content
12:04
Speaker 1: farming gone wild? Just gone wild? So this one is
12:10
Speaker 1: a farmer John, special farmer John out in the field.
12:15
Speaker 1: That crop is pure nonsense. It is engagement farming at
12:18
Speaker 1: its finest. The NBA has hosted tens of thousands of games,
12:24
Speaker 1: and only one man stands atop Mount Olympus, Wilton Norman Chamberlain,
12:32
Speaker 1: the great Wilt Chamberlain, who climbed that mountain to score
12:37
Speaker 1: one hundred points in a game. Now, when I first
12:39
Speaker 1: got into radio, I was a called the Stringer radio reporter,
12:44
Speaker 1: and I'd go to games every night, and Wilt Chamberlain,
12:46
Speaker 1: when I was a very young lad would he'd see
12:50
Speaker 1: him out at the Forum and I heard I'd heard stories.
12:53
Speaker 1: But it's for everybody, because most of the stories I
12:56
Speaker 1: heard about Wilt from other reporters were about his skills
13:00
Speaker 1: with the women. It wasn't so much his basketball stuff.
13:04
Speaker 1: The basketball stuff came later on, but he had written
13:07
Speaker 1: a book a few years earlier about his proclivity with
13:11
Speaker 1: the ladies there, and that was the thing. But back
13:14
Speaker 1: to the point, So, to hit one hundred and one points,
13:18
Speaker 1: you don't just need talent, right, you need what I
13:23
Speaker 1: call the bam bam package. Now, what is the bam
13:27
Speaker 1: bam package? Now, Bam Oddilbayo obviously didn't get one hundred
13:32
Speaker 1: points or one hundred and one points. But here's the
13:35
Speaker 1: things that have to happen. All the planets have to
13:37
Speaker 1: line up. You need to play a ham and egger
13:39
Speaker 1: squad that's already checked out the Wizards. You need a
13:44
Speaker 1: coach who's a co conspiredor co conspirator rather uh smo
13:49
Speaker 1: coach spoe right, throw him out there. You have to
13:51
Speaker 1: have teammates who intentionally foul messing with the basketball gods
13:57
Speaker 1: to stop the clock. Shout out. You also need the
14:02
Speaker 1: zebra whistles to send you to the stripe forty times
14:05
Speaker 1: or more. Tossing this one hundred and one point prediction
14:11
Speaker 1: into the air everywhere. It's kind of like throwing a
14:15
Speaker 1: bag of gold into the wishing well near Sleeping Beauty's castle.
14:21
Speaker 1: It's a fairy tale, is what it.
14:23
Speaker 2: Now.
14:23
Speaker 1: Wemby who is the Parisian prodigy and he's an extra
14:28
Speaker 1: terrestrial half man, half ufo and all that freak of nature.
14:34
Speaker 1: And you say, the skills are there to have one
14:38
Speaker 1: of these eighty point games and all that. And the
14:41
Speaker 1: problem is the Spurs, even though Popovich is not there.
14:44
Speaker 1: He's a frail old man now, Greg Popovich, like, the
14:47
Speaker 1: mindset is the same. The mindset is, hey, we don't
14:51
Speaker 1: do things like that. We're not like the Miami Heat
14:54
Speaker 1: that are frauds. That's not what we do here, and
14:57
Speaker 1: they generally don't believe in stat padding at least I
15:03
Speaker 1: haven't seen it. Maybe I've missed it. And wenby h doesn't.
15:08
Speaker 1: You don't get that tendency that he wants to be
15:11
Speaker 1: that kind of a guy, like a Bam out of
15:12
Speaker 1: Bio and so he's not the type that's going to
15:17
Speaker 1: turn a game into wrestle me like most guys, I
15:20
Speaker 1: would like to think, would feel a great amount of
15:22
Speaker 1: shame that if they pulled that stunt that Bam out
15:24
Speaker 1: of Bio did, Like this is ridiculous. And yet obviously
15:29
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people that carry the water for
15:31
Speaker 1: the NBA that are like, oh that was great, oh man,
15:34
Speaker 1: And I was like, well, that's snake oil, right, But
15:37
Speaker 1: this whole thing is content farming gone mad. It's gone
15:41
Speaker 1: wild and I'm not biting all right. Final thought, Great
15:46
Speaker 1: old Guy Debate, Great old guy Debit. You have to
15:50
Speaker 1: know your audience, and I my aut this. You listen
15:52
Speaker 1: to the show Old Guy Debate, Good Talk Radio. So
15:57
Speaker 1: Piston's legend Isaiah Thomas, the Great Isaiah Thomas. He says
16:03
Speaker 1: that Michael Jordan is not the greatest player in basketball history.
16:10
Speaker 3: You see that.
16:11
Speaker 1: He said this recently, Isaiah Thomas, in his view, he
16:15
Speaker 1: said that honor belongs to who do you think Lebron James, No,
16:20
Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant, not Hard Reboot, not Kobe Bryant. What do
16:26
Speaker 1: you think Joe Dumars, No, not Joe Dumars. Definitely not
16:29
Speaker 1: Joe Dumars. That would be none other than Kareem abdul Jabbar,
16:36
Speaker 1: the skyhook guy, so isaid Thomas thinks that abdul Jabbar
16:42
Speaker 1: stands head and shoulders above everyone else. He said recently,
16:46
Speaker 1: when you talk about the greatest for me and so
16:48
Speaker 1: I wanted to back it up with stats, analytics, you know,
16:51
Speaker 1: the whole body of the career, there is no one
16:55
Speaker 1: who has had a better basketball playing career than Kareem
16:57
Speaker 1: al dul Jabbar. Close quote. How does Isaiah Thomas a
17:02
Speaker 1: Piston's legend of the old school NBA? How does Isaiah
17:06
Speaker 1: Thomas selling Kareem abdul Jabbar over Michael Jordan fall apart
17:13
Speaker 1: under scrutiny? Yeah, So this is like it's like something
17:18
Speaker 1: you put in water and it just kind of disintegrades,
17:21
Speaker 1: you know exactly, So you know, you put a little
17:24
Speaker 1: cup of sugar and you put some water over it. Well,
17:25
Speaker 1: the sugar. You don't see the sugar anymore. But this
17:28
Speaker 1: isn't a basketball. Take Isaiah Thomas, the Piston's legend from
17:34
Speaker 1: back in the day, Isaiah Thomas, this is a Morton's
17:37
Speaker 1: Kosher salt story. He's rubbing the salt directly onto an
17:43
Speaker 1: at least forty year old wound. At least forty year
17:48
Speaker 1: old wound. Isaiah's logic falls apart the second. The second
17:54
Speaker 1: you look at what these two guys have in common,
17:58
Speaker 1: and Isaiah, uh with the Pistons, the bad boys, bad boys,
18:03
Speaker 1: bad boys. What they're gonna what you're gonna do when
18:05
Speaker 1: they come for you? Yeah, it's pure pettiness. This beef
18:10
Speaker 1: is older than most of the people that download our podcast, okay,
18:16
Speaker 1: because our podcast audience is young and hip and all that. Right,
18:19
Speaker 1: they're very hip, and yeah, most of the guys that
18:21
Speaker 1: are older don't even know it was a podcast. I
18:22
Speaker 1: don't know a pot. I don't know what the pot.
18:24
Speaker 1: What is the thing of a chick of a podcast?
18:27
Speaker 1: But it started way back, and it started with the
18:31
Speaker 1: pathetic walk off in ninety one, way back in nineteen
18:35
Speaker 1: ninety one. The Bad Boys Bad Boys the Pistons. They
18:39
Speaker 1: had lost to the Chicago Bulls. They were eliminated, and
18:43
Speaker 1: they snuck out. They left the bench before the game
18:46
Speaker 1: was over because they didn't want to shake hands with
18:47
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan. Isaiah Thomas was part of that. Then that
18:52
Speaker 1: led in the following year. Just to give you a
18:54
Speaker 1: brief history lesson, in nineteen ninety two, they had this
18:57
Speaker 1: thing called the Dream Team, which was heavily promoted the
19:01
Speaker 1: Olympic basketball team. They had all kinds of cross promotion.
19:05
Speaker 1: I remember McDonald's had all kinds of giveaways and just
19:08
Speaker 1: for an example, so Michael Jordan still held a grudge
19:12
Speaker 1: against Isaiah Thomas because of what Isaiah Thomas had done.
19:14
Speaker 1: So the story was always at Michael Jordan blackballed Isaiah
19:18
Speaker 1: from the Dream Team and he said, hey, I'm not
19:21
Speaker 1: playing if Isaiah's on the team. And Jordan was the
19:24
Speaker 1: biggest thing in the world at the time in sports,
19:26
Speaker 1: and so that we had to have Jordan's so Isaiah's
19:28
Speaker 1: not on the team, even though statistically Isaiah absolutely deserved
19:32
Speaker 1: to be on the Dream Team. And so Isaiah's held
19:35
Speaker 1: that against Jordan. And there was the documentary during the
19:39
Speaker 1: pandemic six years ago now, and the Chicago Bulls Dynasty
19:47
Speaker 1: look back, you know, the last Dance, and they trashed
19:50
Speaker 1: Isaiah in that and Jordan produced that thing, he had
19:53
Speaker 1: final edit rights, and so it was a big mess.
19:57
Speaker 1: And so Isaiah Thomas, though, is the chaos engine for
20:01
Speaker 1: that generation of the NBA. But choosing Kareem Abdul Jabbar
20:06
Speaker 1: over Michael Jordan is like saying I would rather use
20:10
Speaker 1: my VCR than watch Netflix or Amazon Prime Video or anything.
20:18
Speaker 1: You know, It's like, what are you doing?
20:20
Speaker 2: Well?
20:20
Speaker 1: No, I really like the VCR. I like it more
20:22
Speaker 1: than Netflix because the Netflix CEO blocked me on X
20:28
Speaker 1: and the guy on Amazon won't. He won't follow me
20:31
Speaker 1: on on Instagram. Okay, all right, But I love the
20:35
Speaker 1: fact that it's an old guy grudge that has lasted
20:38
Speaker 1: four decades, four decades, Isaiah Thomas stewing that bad boy
20:45
Speaker 1: brine for multiple decades. It's not about the skyhook. It's
20:51
Speaker 1: it's about the shove MJ gave to the ego of
20:55
Speaker 1: Isaiah Thomas. It is a vendetta wrapped in an old
20:58
