Hello and welcome.

It's our number one, hour number one of our radio program. and we are back at it again this hour with basketball.

Stefan Curry, becoming the all-time three-point king, planting his flag atop the mountain,

the greatest moneyball shooter in pro hoops history.

But the question, who deserves the lion's share of credit for the NBA's obsession of the three-point shot?

Is it Curry or is it others who are involved?

Think revenge of the Nerds.

We'll get to that and more right now in our number one.

Splish, splash, into the record book you go.

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

We are together in the air everywhere.

As we follow the law of the jungle, coast to coast, border to border, and beyond on the vast.

And mighty powerful microphones of FSR emanating live from the neck as we rubberneck on the sporting world,

the FSR studios here at a secret location somewhere in the Northwoods.

Hope all is well with you in our lead this hour coming from the NBA,

the rare and appropriate NBA monologue prior to the traditional start of the NBA, which is on Christmas.

And it was a record-setting night.

Did you watch? Oh, my God.

It was so impressive.

No.
