Ross Porter pays his first visit to the “Fifth Hour with Ben Maller, and Danny G Radio.” Ross spent 28 glorious seasons working alongside Vin Scully calling Los Angeles Dodgers games on radio and television. We do a deep dive into his spectacular career behind the microphones that started in Shawnee, Oklahoma at the tender age of 14. Ross has seen and done it all, he worked at NBC in LA with TV legends Tom Brokaw and Tom Snyder, covered Super Bowl I, called regional NFL games, and UNLV basketball during the Jerry Tarkanian glory days and so much more. It’s a resume that landed Porter a spot in the Southern California Broadcasters Hall of Fame. Ross played an influential role in helping Ben as a neophyte on DodgerTalk early in his career.  Follow Ross on Twitter @therossporter, and check out his YouTube channel: Ross Porter Sports. Follow Danny G Radio on Twitter @DannyGradio, Follow Big Ben on Twitter @BenMaller, and listen to the original "Ben Maller Show," Monday-Friday on 450+ terrestrial Fox Sports Radio affiliates, iHeart stream, and SiriusXM Radio channel 83, 2a-6a ET, 11p-3a PT!

On today's episode, Jason and Producer Rob G kick things off with a way-too-early NBA Finals preview. Now that Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors are officially in, the guys went ahead and assumed that Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics would punch their ticket later tonight. Will the vaunted Celtics defense be able to slow down the high-powered Warriors offense? How much of an impact will injuries have on the series? Later, NBA skills coach and Pure Sweat CEO Drew Hanlen swings by to discuss how determination and discipline helped shape his career, what it was like training NBA players while he was still in college, what makes Jayson Tatum so special, how Joel Embiid has evolved his game over the years, why he believes Michael Jordan - not LeBron James - is easily the greatest player in NBA history, which of his younger clients could be the next ones to really pop in the NBA, and much more!

On today's episode, Jason and Producer Rob G get your week started with a deep dive into the Golden State Warriors' Game 3 victory over the Dallas Mavericks to take a commanding 3-0 series lead. This series is eerily similar to what we saw in 2007 when LeBron James squared off against the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Finals. Luka Doncic by himself, like LeBron, is no match for a great team headlined by a generational talent. When it's all said and done, we're going to look back at the these Warriors as one of the greatest dynasties in sports history. In fact, Jason argues that the Steph Curry-led Warriors are already the greatest dynasty the NBA has seen in over 50 years. Yes, even better than the Showtime Lakers and Michael Jordan's Chicago Bulls. Later, the guys discuss what's gone wrong for Luka and the Mavs in this series, and explain why neither of them believes Doncic is going to win a championship in Dallas any time soon. Both agree that the only way the Mavericks will be able to get over the hump is if they can land a superstar sidekick to take some of the pressure off Luka. Only one problem: Who can they get that fits the bill? Julius Randle? Bradley Beal? Zach LaVine? This summer should be really interesting in Dallas. Finally, Jason and Rob G close the show by sharing their Best Bet for tonight's Game 4 between the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat.
