Benched - Lakers NBA Podcast with Coach Dave Miller and Allen Maldonado
Welcome to Benched, the bold new NBA podcast where Emmy-winning coach and analyst Dave Miller teams up with actor and hoops fanatic Allen Maldonado for a full-court conversation that’s part basketball breakdown, part cultural commentary, and all real talk.
Coach Miller brings decades of on-court experience, inside access, and the kind of basketball IQ only a coach can deliver. Maldonado brings the actor’s wit, fan’s passion, and a street-level take that keeps it honest and entertaining. Together, they tackle the biggest stories in the league, call out bad takes, and deliver insights you won’t get on TV.
If you love hoops, hate fluff, and want truth from people who actually live it, Blocked is your next listen.
Smart. Funny. Fearless. Welcome to Benched.
