This is the best of the Ben Mallor show on Fox Sports Radio.

You won't believe your ears.

A deftifying act of courage night after night, fun for all ages.

That would be the Steph Curry show, but is it going to end up with a piece of medal?

Not a team award, an individual award.

Welcome in the beginning of another edition of the Ben Mather show.
