We start out the bonus show this week with a topic about floor generals, with a question centered on Chris Paul and other standout players like Rajon Rondo, Kyle Lowry, and Tony Parker. Despite Chris Paul frequently dominating such lists, Rob made a surprising nod to Rondo, highlighting his exceptional court vision and ability to facilitate plays, likening Rondo's significant impact during his Boston Celtics days as part of a "big four."   We then turn the focus to contemporary stars, sparked by Jeff Teague’s rankings on the Club 250 Podcast. His top picks included Nikola Jokic, Jason Tatum, Luka Dončić, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. This assembly fostered a debate, particularly about Luka's defense, with Rob pointing out the importance of two-way play—a relentless topic in basketball circles about offensive and defensive proficiency. Plus we get into others deserving mention, like Donovan Mitchell and the ageless LeBron James, who continues to impress with his performance at nearly 40 years old. Rob reserved particular praise for Mitchell, noting his all-around game and contributions to his team’s success.   We close it out with frequently quoted favorite films. Blending humor with nostalgia, the co-hosts shared lines from “Tommy Boy,” “Friday,” and “Talladega Nights,” underscoring how these movies remain entrenched in cultural memory. Such discussions illustrate how sports and popular culture often intertwine, offering listeners both laughter and a break from intense sports debates.   00:00 Introduction and Episode Overview 00:35 Debating the Best Floor Generals 03:08 Rondo vs. Ben Simmons: A Shooting Comparison 04:51 Jeff Teague's Top Four NBA Players 05:51 Discussing the Term 'Two-Way Player' 07:44 Top Four NBA Players: Personal Picks 12:05 The Tush Push Controversy in the NFL 14:09 The Controversial Tush Push Play 14:36 Defending Against Running Quarterbacks 15:27 LeBron and Brian Windhorst Relationship 16:24 Annoying TV Personalities 17:43 The Mindset of Athletes 20:32 Favorite Sports Reporters and Announcers 21:50 Most Quoted Movies 23:32 Friday Movie Quotes 25:26 Remembering John Witherspoon

This week, we start with Rob's trip to China, where he enjoyed both the picturesque ocean views and the local hospitality. Upon returning stateside, he enjoys the reality of the Atlanta Braves' current slump, which sets the stage for some comical deflection via the "horrible high-low game" later in the podcast. From there we spin off into the MLB debate of the week about “torpedo bats” and of course things take a strange turn during the debate.   Then it’s on to the free-for-all Pistons versus Timberwolves brawl and the bewildering firing of Memphis Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins. What’s the logic behind the Grizzlies' decision to fire a coach amid a successful season? We break down the possible reasons, oscillating between player-coach dynamics and organizational politics. Next, it’s on to college basketball, where the ever-vocal Kim Mulkey stirred the pot with her candid response to a student reporter’s question after LSU was eliminated in the Elite Eight for the second straight year. Mulkey asked the reporter, "How many final fours have you played in?" creating a divide between those who see it as a humorous quip and those who take offense. It's all about expectations and perception as our hosts unpack the nuances of Mulkey's response.   Wrapping up, the team goes through current NBA standings and playoff aspirations, pondering the fate of the Lakers and the remaining playoff hopefuls. Additionally, Harper raises a cheer for the Atlanta Hawks, hoping they’ll snag a play-in spot and bring some much-needed postseason excitement to ATL. It wouldn’t be a sports discussion without stats and records, right? The crew gamely tackled a "horrible high-low game" focusing on dismal sports records across history: Chris Dudley's free-throw foibles, the New York Mets' losing streak, or even the Prairie View A&M’s infamous 10-year losing streak.   00:00 Introduction and Host Banter 00:57 Robert's China Trip Recap 01:23 The Braves' Struggles and New Game 02:02 NBA Talk: Standings and Firing 02:20 Torpedo Bats Controversy 19:58 Pistons vs. Timberwolves Brawl 27:17 Kim Mulkey's Press Conference Reaction 31:27 Kim Mulkey's Personality and Media Perception 32:48 Expectations in NCAA Tournaments 34:32 Comparing LSU to Other Basketball Programs 40:08 The Importance of Failure and Learning 41:09 NBA Playoff Standings and Strategies 48:53 Big Shot of the Week: A Weight Loss Journey 50:58 Historically Bad Sports Records

Rob opens the discussion by recounting a moment many athletes hope for—the tribute video. A gesture of appreciation that often comes with a mix of emotions, as it did for Robert when the Lakers offered him one. It stems from Jimmy Butler’s return to Miami – and given his impact in taking the team to the Finals, albeit without clinching the championship, the consensus seems to be a resounding "yes," with a focus on patching historical ties and community affection.   We also touch on the loss of boxing legend George Foreman, remembered not only for his prowess in the ring but also for his entrepreneurial success with the George Foreman Grill. This reflective segment prompts a look at favorite boxers, with figures like Roy Jones Jr., Mike Tyson, and Sugar Ray Leonard receiving nods for their impact on both sports and pop culture. A lively debate emerges about the challenges of securing major titles, with a particular focus on the NCAA versus NBA titles. The discussion expands to compare different sports championships, emphasizing the rigorous path and elements faced in NFL playoffs and college football.   Closing with a humorous twist, the show turns to the peculiar injuries athletes sometimes endure off the court. From the infamous incidents like Amari Stoudemire's fire extinguisher mishap to Matt Strom's packing-induced injury, it's a reminder of the unexpected challenges athletes face even in the most mundane tasks. Shaquille O’Neal's playful knife injury story rounds out this section, shedding light on the lighter side of professional sports.   00:00 Introduction and Welcome 00:44 Tribute Videos in Sports 03:20 Remembering George Foreman 04:02 Favorite Boxers Discussion 05:37 NBA vs. NCAA Titles 07:54 Hardest Titles to Win in Sports 10:58 Coach's Misconduct Incident 14:23 Softest Injuries in Sports

We kick things off discussing Rob's recent world travels and his unexpected meet-up in Las Vegas with a fellow basketball star. Something that stood out was the engaging discussion on the concept of "two-way players" in the NBA, a term both Robert Horry and Alicia Clark seem to dislike. The focus then shifts towards the Cleveland Cavaliers and the mixed opinions on their playoff readiness. Patrick Beverly’s comments that "Offense sells tickets. Defense wins championships" sparked intense debate amongst the crew.   The conversation takes a swift turn towards the Los Angeles Lakers' recent performances, with insight from Uncle Shannon. The ongoing issues with their defense, their inconsistencies, and the importance of staying out of the play-in tournament are scrutinized. The Lakers' battle for consistency and effort is a poignant point of analysis. They seem to oscillate between putting up spirited defense displays and succumbing to laxity.   And with the Sweet 16 set in place, all eyes are on the teams that have made it this far. Seven SEC teams in the Sweet 16 underscore the prowess of the conference this year. Rob shares his predictions, staunchly supporting Florida and Tennessee’s tenacity and unique game styles. However, the room is divided when hot topics like Duke’s reputation in college basketball come up — is college basketball better with or without teams like Duke making strong runs? Chris Paul’s impressive endurance as the second oldest player (almost 40) in the NBA is recognized, despite a career without an NBA championship. And will we ever find out who the busty redhead behind Rick Pitino was? Danny Hurley’s outburst is also a funny point of conversation, especially after the UConn CID threatened to ruin the life of the reporter who posted it. And the show wouldn’t be complete without a round of "Walmart or Waffle House"!   00:00 Introduction and Welcome 00:36 Robert's Vegas Adventure 02:00 Debating the Term 'Two-Way Player' 03:34 Cleveland Cavaliers Analysis 07:50 Fear and Respect in the NBA 13:57 Lakers' Defensive Struggles 23:38 Chris Paul's Endurance and Legacy 27:29 Juju's Impact on the Team 29:42 Sweet 16 Set in Atlanta 31:00 College Basketball's Best Moments 33:55 Danny Hurley's Outburst 38:14 Rick Pitino's Viral Moment 41:46 Big Shot of the Week 43:40 Walmart or Waffle House Game

Kicking off the episode, Rob and the crew delve into the pressing question: "Is James Harden enough to get the Clippers to the Western Conference Finals?" Rob’s candid response shows skepticism, especially in light of key player Kawhi Leonard's uncertain status. This discussion highlights not just Robert's analytical prowess but also his penchant for direct conversations about team dynamics and playoff potential. And as we dive into March Madness, Rob dissects the intimidating reputation UConn holds among competitors, prompting discussions about current players like Juju Watkins at USC and the ongoing competitions that shape the basketball landscape.   The discussion takes an entertaining turn when Brian Scalabrini's recent showdown at New York's legendary West 4th Street Courts is brought into the spotlight. Known for his undying competitive spirit, Scalabrini, at 47, takes on a streetballer who claims New York supremacy and embarrasses the hell out of him. And as a newest member of the Grizzlies, Yuki Kawamura faces a unique challenge—language. Currently picking up English under the mentorship of Ja Morant, Kawamura amusingly and perhaps unfortunately, has learned only colorful phrases so far. This leads to a broader conversation on languages everyone wishes to learn, highlighting the entertaining linguistic misadventures and cultural exchanges that come with cross-border collaborations.   Capping off the episode is a nostalgic journey through sporting greatness. Robert and the guys reminisce about witnessing athletic legends live; from Serena Williams' grace on the tennis court to Michael Jordan dropping 50 points at a Bulls game. These reflections not only speak to the indescribable excitement that legendary performances invoke but also celebrate the remarkable careers that continue to inspire. The crew discusses players they wish they'd seen live—Dr. J, Gale Sayers, and more. These wishes illustrate a deep respect for the game’s evolution and history, emphasizing the impact sports heroes have beyond the court or field.   00:00 Introduction and Welcome 00:39 Fan Questions: James Harden and the Clippers 01:56 Discussion on UConn and Women's Basketball 05:49 Brian Scalabrini's Streetball Challenge 11:50 Yuki Kawamura and Learning English 13:18 The Easiest Class Ever 13:46 Struggles with Learning Dutch 14:41 Attempting to Learn Spanish 16:04 Interest in Sign Language 16:27 Funny Sign Language Story 18:09 Clemson's Locker Room Mishap 19:03 Elevator Incident at LSU 20:02 Bill Belichick's Yoga Adventure 24:28 Best Athletes Seen Live

The episode kick-starts with the notorious Robert Horry recounting his hectic travel schedule. From the Big Ten Tournament action in Indiana to Vegas and then off to China, Robert traded stories of jet lag and travel woes, shedding light on the busy lifestyle of a retired athlete turned commentator. As the clock turns to March, the team can't help but buzz about the NCAA tournaments. Robert's affinity for Texas Tech stands out, while the group discusses the current college basketball landscape, reliving the trials and triumphs of teams like Duke and Alabama. Brackets are on the agenda, with the hosts even contemplating show brackets to keep the spirit of competition alive.   A significant portion of the podcast is dedicated to dissecting NBA officiating controversies. The crew analyzes Detroit Pistons' coach JD Bickerstaff's fiery outburst over perceived bias in officiating. There's a heartfelt discussion on players like Shaa Gil, LeBron James, and the inequality of foul calls, highlighting the systemic issues in NBA referee culture. Plus we joke about Shaquille O'Neal's slip-up of attributing Chauncey Billups as the coach of the Pistons when it's actually JD Bickerstaff sparked laughter and light-hearted trolling from social media. The crew reflects on how quickly the NBA coaching carousel spins, connecting the dots between coaching situations around the league.   The podcast ventures into the NBA playoff race, with speculation around the fluctuating fortunes of the Lakers, who have dropped to the 5th seed amid LeBron's injury. Similarly, the resurgence of teams like the Timberwolves and Warriors sparks predictions about potential playoff outcomes. The inclusion of Jimmy Butler seems to have injected new energy into the Warriors, while the Timberwolves, led by the duo of Ant Man and Julius Randle, are clicking at the right moment. The Mavericks can't catch a break with a litany of injuries, including Kyrie Irving, and a fascinating discussion unfolds on how the team copes. Beyond injuries, the Mavs' decision-making comes into question, especially with their much-maligned AI hype video failing to resonate with fans.   This week’s "Big Shot of the Week" title goes to three-year-old Bridger Peabody for his heroic action saving his grandmother. His incredible bravery in retrieving a phone to call 911 after she suffered a serious fall left a mark, emphasizing that even the youngest among us can perform life-saving deeds. As customary, the show wraps with a light-hearted Rapid Fire segment. Robert Ory reigns victorious this week, leaving everyone in smiles and setting the tone for next week’s showdown.   00:00 Introduction and Welcome 00:32 Travel Adventures and March Madness 02:44 Discussing College Basketball Teams 06:50 NBA Officiating Rant 17:23 Shaq's Hilarious Mix-Up 25:10 LeBron's Impact on the Lakers 25:42 Western Conference Standings 27:22 Magic's Streak-Breaking Win 28:12 Warriors' New Energy with Jimmy Butler 31:20 Timberwolves' Resurgence 32:59 Mavericks' Injury Woes 37:48 Big Shot of the Week: Bridger Peabody 40:29 Rapid Fire Trivia

Kicking things off, let's tackle Stephen A. Smith's list of the best current NBA duos. Recognizing Tatum and Brown from Boston, LeBron and Luka, Jokic and Murray, Giannis and Dame, and surprisingly, Steph and Jimmy Butler. Do any duos get left out? Our debate focuses on whether Steph and Jimmy belong on this list or if LeBron and Luka's new partnership qualifies. Personally, I lean towards Jokic and Murray as they're a dynamic duo that complements each other well, akin to legendary pairs like Shaq and Kobe or MJ and Scottie.   Now, onto some lighter fare—TV shows. Missing out on cult favorites like Game of Thrones and shows like Paradise might get you dogged by friends, but hey, everyone has their preferences. And finally, the bizarre true crime story of Aaron Goodwin from Ghost Adventures. His wife allegedly hatched a plan to hire a hitman to kill him, only getting caught due to monitored messages from an inmate accomplice. This strange tale prompts a dark but intriguing question: if you received a call about someone plotting against you, who would you suspect? Would a family member, a friend, or perhaps a stranger be out to get you?   00:00 Introduction and Welcome 00:48 NBA Duos Debate 04:45 Can Dallas Redeem Itself? 08:26 Personal Life Update 11:59 TV Show Recommendations 18:34 Murder for Hire Plot

As the podcast unfolds, Rob opens up about his hectic travel schedule. From working major basketball tournaments to quick trips to China as an NBA ambassador, his March is nothing short of a whirlwind. It's the kind of excitement that keeps fans tuned in, eager for behind-the-scenes stories from a sports legend. The conversation shifts to none other than Steph Curry, who is on the verge of making history with his three-point prowess. Rob and his co-hosts discuss Curry's significant achievements and his unyielding passion for the game. There's a debate about the longevity of athletes like Curry and LeBron James, shedding light on what it takes to maintain top performance levels as age inevitably creeps in.   Next, the podcast turns its attention to the Los Angeles Lakers. With LeBron James facing a groin injury, the team finds itself in a precarious position. The panel underscores the importance of strategic play and the challenges the Lakers may encounter without their star player. A sports podcast wouldn't be complete without an MVP race discussion. The competition is heating up between Nikola Jokić and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (SGA), each delivering season-defining performances. The podcast explores how teams like the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Cleveland Cavaliers are making waves with their young, dynamic rosters, bolstered by shrewd acquisitions and strategic planning.   A heartwarming segment on the show recognizes Nicole Munda and Jess Coleman, a couple united by chance at a NASCAR race, leading to a life-saving organ donation story.

Imagine chilling at home when suddenly, a drone hovers near your window. Creepy, right? This is exactly the situation Jack and Jill, neighbors of Robert Ory, found themselves in. After weeks of these unsettling flyovers, Jack believed the drone was spying on his attractive wife, Jill. While debating on action, they entertained hilarious suggestions from friends… Report it: Certainly a sensible route. Call the cops and establish a record. Perhaps not as immediately satisfying but practical…. Track it: Suggestions ranged from sticking an AirTag on it to following it with another drone. A techo-savvy and adventurous choice, but probably difficult to execute… Shoot it down: Armed with a pellet gun, this option involves strong action. But let's face it, this might lead to more trouble than it's worth.   Could an NBA player or analyst transition seamlessly into the role of President? According to Stephen A. Smith, if he were to run, he'd win. But what about others in the NBA-verse? Some top contenders include Jalen Brown: Known for his intelligence, Brown might be the cerebral choice for leadership… Steph Curry: A popular candidate post-retirement, he could be the relatable leader we didn't know we needed… Ernie Johnson: Perhaps the most trustworthy voice in sports media, Johnson has a reputation that precedes him… While Shaquille O'Neal and Charles Barkley, despite being beloved figures, might be too entertaining to shift from broadcast to the White House, they're sure to inspire some intriguing policies.   You can't talk sports without mentioning movies. Who doesn't love a good sports movie? Here's a look at some of the all-time favorites discussed… Space Jam: A classic blend of animation and sports, it's a film that resonates across generations.. Remember the Titans: Often topping favorites lists, it's not just a sports film, but a moving story of unity… Waterboy: Adam Sandler's Bobby Boucher might not top serious lists, but his comical antics are hard to forget. To wrap up, let's not forget the joys of a good card game. While Uno and Blackjack may bring fun to family game nights, it's Spades that truly tests friendships and nerves alike.

The Los Angeles Lakers have shown a beacon of hope for their fans, soaring to the second seed after a challenging start. This rise, led by a rejuvenated LeBron James and the transformative addition of Luka Doncic, has contributed significantly to their resurgence this season. While LeBron remains an MVP contender at 40, the spotlight on the Lakers also highlights the crucial role of 'Vando' and 'Dodo', who provide defensive might. The real question lingering in the halls of crypto.com arena is: Can they sustain this momentum and make a profound impact during the playoffs?   Moving beyond the Lakers, the NBA landscape has been a mix of stunning performances and unforeseen challenges. Shea Gilgeous-Alexander, playing like a man on a mission, leads the NBA in points, often overshadowing seasoned players. Yet, it's not just about individual brilliance. The league is witnessing a transformation, with many teams redefining their strategies, adapting to the indefatigable demand for defense and cohesion. Yet, challenges persist. Karen Durant remains a figure of interest post his seafood restaurant rumors, and the haze around Anthony Edwards, despite his commendable performances, reflects a need for maturity amid rising fines and suspensions.   It's also a season of record-breaking and prestigious achievements in sports history. Diana Taurasi, the legendary WNBA player, announced her retirement, leaving behind a legacy filled with records and awe-inspiring performances. From 84 years of marriage by the enduring couple Manuel Angelim Dino and Maria de Sousa Dino, breaking the Guinness World Record, to LeBron James etching his name with 1,000 career regular season wins, the theme of longevity and perseverance stands tall.   No sports season would be complete without its share of controversies and dramas. Jimmy Butler's landlord issues in Miami and the Mavericks' head-turning 8% ticket price hike capture the inverse side of sports fame and fandom. These incidents serve as timely reminders of the pressures and pitfalls that accompany athletic success. While the league continues to thrive, the debate around who will emerge as the new face of the NBA remains abuzz. With seasoned veterans like LeBron stepping aside, younger talents like Tatum and Giannis are slowly taking the mantle. Yet, the landscape is ever-evolving, forcing us to ponder: Is America ready to embrace an international star as the face of their beloved NBA?   As the basketball season unfolds, it's not just about the games. It's a tapestry of human stories, records being made and broken, the emergence of new talent, and the relentless pursuit of greatness. Whether you're a die-hard fan or a casual observer, these narratives resonate deeply, reminding us why sports hold such a cherished space in our culture. Here’s to more thrilling moments and unforgettable stories in the months ahead!   00:00 Introduction and Casual Banter 00:56 Big Shot Bob Podcast Begins 01:41 College Basketball Talk 06:53 Kyrie Irving's Injury 10:38 Lakers' Recent Performance 21:02 Denver Nuggets Analysis 27:36 NFL News and Updates 33:44 The Travis Hunter vs. Shohei OHtani Debate 34:29 Comparing the Physical Demands of Football and Baseball 36:39 The Rarity of Otani's Dual Role in Baseball 41:57 Jimmy Butler's Legal Troubles in Miami 43:24 Shea Gilgeous-Alexander's Stellar Season 44:41 Future Faces of the NBA 51:54 Diana Taurasi's Legendary Career 53:06 Big Shot of the Week: Longest Marriage Record 54:01 Rapid Fire: True or False Sports Trivia

We talk to Rob on this week’s bonus show about he felt about getting passed over for the Hall of Fame, and he says he didn’t think it would happen on his first ballot anyway but he was disappointed by not moving on. Jenners also brings up Stephen A’s top contenders to take on the Celtics largely because the Lakers made the list at #3, and Rob feels like they would need a lot of things to go right for them to get there this year. We all agree that we’d like to see OKC take on Boston for the title this year, and a Cavs-Celtics Eastern Conference Finals would be amazing.   After Steph’s “night-night” photo dropped from the Olympics last week, we get into our favorite NBA photos of all time… even though Rob says that HIS shot over the Pistons is his all time favorite. Rob jokes about how everyone in LeBron’s scoring record photo had their phone out, which takes us down the road of the merits of taking photos in a big moment or just trying to enjoy it while you were there. And after Channing Frye said nostalgia is killing the NBA, we debate about how the game should and should not be compared to previous eras of basketball. And Rob takes some accountability about creating the shot-heavy NBA as a big man who shot a lot of threes.   How would B-Dog due as an NBA Ambassador? What would you do if you had to sit next to a dead woman, like what happened this week on a Qatar Airlines flight? The craziest stories of the week close out this long bonus show this week.

We open with the “Luka revenge game” as the Lakers and Mavericks faced off for the first time since the blockbuster trade. Rob feels like Lakers fans are looking to win it all right now, and Luka needs to tighten up on the other end of the floor if they’re even going to have a shot. Rob has still not committed to this move because of a bad loss to the Hornets and some tight wins that should have been bigger. This week’s story was about Luka’s taste for “beer and hookah” in Dallas was one of the reasons they moved on from him, and even though he has trimmed out in LA we wonder how long it will take before he gets comfortable again.   Rob also has strong words for the “fans” that are threatening Nico’s family and kids, and we talk about the roots of that kind of fandom and how the Mavs may have had a hand in creating the Luka-monster in Dallas before trading him away. Plus we talk about Wembanyama being out for the season and what that means for Jaren Jackson Jr’s hunt for a supermax deal, and how Evan Mobley might have torpedoed the entire deal. And with Naz Reid potentially on the move, we talk about how he should be getting more starts in Minnesota with the numbers and level of play he’s shown so far this season.   Plus the story of the year so far in the NBA is easily the bounce back of the Detroit Pistons under J.B. Bickerstaff and Cade Cunningham, and how Detroit plays with more attitude then most in the league. And it wouldn’t be a week in the NBA without looking at the demise of the Philadelphia 76ers, as Paul George continues to struggle and Joel Embiid remains hurt. Rob digs up his pre-season playoff list to make a point that even though he picked the Sixers to make the playoffs, we all had bad picks when we knew nothing at the start of the season. That leads us into the current NBA standings and how we see this last month of the season shaking out.   We close it out with an inspiring Big Shot of the Week to an officer who went the extra mile to help a young kid delivering pizzas in the snow… followed by a hilarious edition of Black Crime or White Crime!

It's show #200!!! And Rob and Jenners are joined by the ENTIRE Spectrum Sportsnet Los Angeles crew - including the Hall of Famer Big Game James Worthy, LA Times writer Broderick Turner, and studio hosts Allie Clifton, Mike Bresnahan and Chris Geeter McGee - all at the same time! Rob did not make the list of Hall of Fame Finalists this year, so we start by asking James Worthy about what it was like when he got the call - and he jokes that he didn't make it until his third try and the first two let downs really upset him. Then we get into the mess that was the 2025 NBA All-Star Game, as James and BT feel like it would just be better to go back to the original East-West format and play for either pride or home court advantage. Allie Clifton weighs in (from the parking lot at Spectrum, as she's gotta work tonight) as does producer and host Mike Bresnahan. We also get Chris McGee joining the conversation as we break down Mac McClung winning his third dunk title, what it would take to fix the dunk contest, and what everyone wants to see during All-Star Weekend in the future. We of course have to speak to the Lakers of it all, since we are joined by the entire Lakers TV crew - and everyone has mixed opinions about the Mark Williams failed trade and LeBron's health going forward. And James hammers Rob about whether or not Alabama is going to make a run at the NCAA title this  year, because he knows his North Carolina Tar Heels won't! THANK YOU for rolling with us for 200 shows, and thank you to the entire Spectrum crew for making it one to remember!

We open the bonus show this week by talking about Joel Embiid, and the possibility of him needing yet another knee surgery. Rob feels like he did himself a disservice by playing in the Olympics and that the Sixers need to work with their doctors instead of his to try and get him back on the floor. Plus a listener wants to know if we’re sleeping on the Trail Blazers, who are still a young team and not that good yet, but Rob feels like they have a lot of upside.   Rob also defends his stance that the Lakers need to take the ball OUT of AR’s hands, after he had a monster night against the Pacers, but Rob says its because he just holds the ball too long and takes too many shots when he needs to spread it around more. Harper also thinks that Lakers need to work more on building around a big and less on the shooting guards that have been dominating the game. And listeners want to know Rob’s opinion on a player like Bradley Beal going back to the Wizards (even though they are not good) to be the big dog on the floor as opposed to getting limited time on a team that should be better.   Lastly, as Ben Simmons leaves the Nets, we ask Rob what team is immediately better if a player leaves town. And on Valentine’s Day, we ask all the guys about their top three candy bars and of course a huge debate breaks out.

Rob opens this week’s show from Austin, Texas – as he calls the Texas-Alabama game for Compass Media this week! And we also dive head first into Luka’s debut as an LA Laker, as Rob is still holding out judgement until they face some more serious competition. Rob says it felt like an All-Star game moment at times but Harper feels like it can work with time. We also dive into the wild fans that are throwing death threats at Nico Harrison, the conspiracy theories surrounding the Luka trade out of Dallas, and the unfortunate Anthony Davis injury that went down in his debut game for the Mavericks.   Plus the Dalton Knecht trade that fell through lands squarely on Robert Horry’s radar, because it happened to HIM when he almost got traded to Detroit. Rob talks about how his failed trade really worked for his career and hopes that Dalton’s failed trade has the same positive impact. That of course launches into the Lakers’ need for a big man, and sure enough both Dwight Howard and DeMarcus Cousins both pop up. Jimm Butler’s move to Golden State takes over the conversation, as both Rob and B-Dog really like the move, and even though Golden State is trailing in the standings Rob still feels like a young team like OKC in the Playoffs could pop up and bite them. Plus we are all surprised that Phoenix spent so much time last week trying to move Kevin Durant which may end up being the end of his time with the Suns.   We also get Harper’s break down of the Trae Young situation in Atlanta and how he’ll likely be moved within the next couple of seasons, and everyone has flowers for the Philadelphia Eagles, from the front four to Jalen Hurts. We also dish out a simple but inspiring Big Shot of the Week, and with Rob travelling so much we roll out a round of “Where in the World is Robert Horry?”

On the anniversary of the Patriots losing in WILD fashion to the Giants in the Super Bowl, we talk about the craziest endings to games we can remember. Candidates include the Tracy McGrady flurry to beat the Rockets, the Reggie Miller game against the Knicks and Kobe outscoring the Mavericks in just three quarters. And in honor of Jalen Smith wearing a house on his head at the Grammys, we talk about some of the crazies things we’ve seen people wear out in public.   Rob also weighs in on how excited he is for the new Captain America flick and just how bad the Sony Marvel flicks have been now that we’ve seen Kraven the Hunter. Listeners also want to know when the last time Rob played actual basketball or if he’s just too old, and he jokes that every time he tries to get after it he ends up hurting himself. Plus one of our buddies was so excited to go to the Super Bowl that he accidentally left his luggage behind at the house, which prompts a conversation about stuff we left behind on vacation. And after a listener turned his parent on to Little Caesars, we all talk about the food or restaurants that we were turned on to, or turned other people on to.   This week's show is presented by Draft Kings!!

We open the show with the biggest story in all of sports this week, the blockbuster Luka Doncic trade to the Lakers. Everyone throws out their initial reactions to this huge story, including Rob’s feelings that there were behind-the-scenes factors that played a big part in this trade that no one is discussing, like his entourage, not training with the team and his lack of conditioning. That said, Rob says he’s not that concerned about Luka’s weight because he is still getting the job done on the floor. Defensively there are still a lot of questions, especially when you look at his performance in the NBA Finals just a couple of seasons back, but the hope is that he is able to improve that while playing alongside LeBron.   The money on the table is also a big angle in this Luka story, as he would be leaving over $116 MILLION on the table due to this trade because he’s not ineligible for a supermax deal. Does Rob feel like the Mavericks might have moved him to save some of that money? Plus the Lakers made a statement to LeBron James by making a move without his consideration, and Rob feels like this is just another indicator that LeBron needs to start moving aside as the leader of the team. Rob and B-Dog both feel like Luka and LeBron will be able to play with each other because LeBron has showed he could do it in a lot of other situations.   De’Aaron Fox to San Antonio was the other big move of the week, as De’Aaron lands in a great situation alongside Victor Wembanyama as the Spurs try to rebuild around some young pieces. Jenners also loses last week’s bet as Jimmy Butler continues to blow up every deal that’s presented to him, and we were pretty convinced he’d at least have a deal in place by now. Plus we cannot figure out how the Warriors could ever pull together the resources to get Kevin Durant back, and we cannot figure out what New Orleans is doing with Zion as they continue to limit his playing time.   We also debate the Super Bowl fatigue we’re getting over the Kansas City Chiefs, we give out a buffet-driven Big Shot of the Week, and close it out with a fun round of Shootout!   This week's show is presented by Draft Kings!!

Rob spent the week in Dubai with NBA legend Michael Cooper, and jokes that it was an amazing place to spend time if he was about 20 years younger. The Lakers are helping UCLA build some hospitals overseas and Rob jokes that Mike made him do all the talking the entire trip. And as we creep in on NBA All-Star weekend, we await to see where Rob will fall in the Hall of Fame class announcements… but Rob doesn’t have high hopes of making the cut his first year on the ballot. Plus Rob tries to put the All-Star snubs of Norman Powell and Trae Young into perspective for the fans.   The Bronny James saga has again resurfaced as his recent struggles, and Rob feels like the Lakers are putting him in a bad spot by continuing to roll him out there when he’s clearly not ready. And as a father of a son who has NBA hopes, Rob is hoping to have a team invest in him like the Lakers have in Bronny regardless of his struggles. Rob also lays out the scenarios where the Heat actually move on from Jimmy Butler, because he believes that Pat Riley will only do what’s best for the Heat and not what’s best for Jimmy. Plus how are the Kings voluntarily moving on from De’Aaron Fox when he should be the piece they build the future of the Kings around.   Joel Embiid missed the 400th game of his career this week, meaning that he’s missed 47% of his CAREER games – and Rob believes that if he ever signs another NBA contract, it will have to come with stipulations about not paying him for games he doesn’t play. We also play the audio of Adam Silver saying he would be a fan of shortening quarters to 10 minutes, and Rob says there is NO way it ever happens because it would affect sponsorship dollars. And if he wants to speed up the game, they need to eliminate the terminally long foul reviews that eat up way more time than necessary.   Would you try the new Peanut Butter & Jelly M&Ms? Rob says he’s excited to give them a shot… gross. We also offer up a Big Shot of the Week to an LA restaurateur who is putting the community ahead of herself by using her surviving restaurants to feed people displaced by the tragic fires. And a really fun new version of Rapid Fire called “Did You Know?”

We open up the bonus show this week with a challenge… can Rob and Harper guess the Top 10 in the NBA’s latest MVP ladder? Surprises like Cade Cunningham make the list, and some love for Karl-Anthony Towns who is leading the league in rebounds. We also discuss how guys like Ja Morant can’t receive any regular season awards now that he’s missed too many games, and whether you count as a “comeback player” if you missed time for getting suspended.   After the viral video of the woman who CRASHED the golf cart carrying Ryan Day and Will Howard to the field following Ohio State’s National Championship win, listeners want to know about the dumbest accidents we’ve gotten into – and Rob jokes that he wrecked a friend’s car in high school and somehow they got paid MORE than the care was worth! We also bring a wild Michael Jordan stat to the show, showcasing just how good he was, and Rob says he’s got nothing but massive respect for his game because he’s not a hater.   A listener wants to know if it’s okay to wear his wife’s favorite team’s jersey, as long as it’s not a rival team… and everyone has a bit of a different opinion about if that violates “fan code.” And everyone sounds off on bucket list destinations in sports, as Harper wants to sit courtside in LA for a Lakers game, and Jenners and Rob want to hit the road to experience historic MLB ballparks… just perfect for NBA guys!   This week's show is presented by Draft Kings!!

We open the show with news that Rob is headed to Dubai to do an event with the Lakers – even though he has NO idea what he’s supposed to do! Rob says he’s excited to go to Dubai but refuses to go up on the deck of the Burj Khalifa because he hates heights, which spins us into a discussion about bucket list travel destinations. After we settle in, we get right into the latest on the Jimmy Butler drama – because while the Suns seem to be the destination of choice for Jimmy, Rob makes a compelling argument about why he’d be so much better as a Golden State Warrior.   Rob also reacts to Lou Williams saying the Suns are not a good team, agreeing that they are “top heavy” in their roster and they need to secure a bench. The debate about Jayson Tatum being called “soft” breaks out, as it comes down to someone who is “quiet” being labeled as “soft”. Rob says that players that have antics on and off the floor are a cover, because it means they aren’t confident enough to let their game speak for itself.   We also dive into some wild James Harden stats, whether Maverick Carter’s “rival NBA” idea can find any footing, and how everyone felt about Ohio State winning the National Championship Game. A Big Shot of the Week goes out to Jay Leno, Vanessa Bryant, and the celebrities that are helping provide to Los Angeles residents and first responders in the wake of the wildfires. And we close it out with a fun game of NBA High-Low!   This week's show is presented by Draft Kings!! New DraftKings customers can bet $5 to get $200 in bonus bets instantly!

As we close in on our 200th episode of the “big” show, we pick Rob’s brain about who he’d want for the 200th show. Show 100 was Bill Walton (RIP) and Rob suggests Dodgers manager Dave Roberts or James Worthy, who Rob though was already on the show. There was also some really interesting audio from Dwight Howard this week who is yet again sounding off on how he’s treated by Shaquille O’Neal – and if it’s indeed over the “Superman” nickname, Rob equates it to Chauncy Billups calling himself “Mr. Big Shot” and how it never bothered him. And we try to figure out which SEC head coach (Lane Kiffin) dropped into Sydney Thomas’s DMs!   Listeners call Rob to the carpet on his performance on “World’s Toughest Test” as there is a new season, and Cam Newton and Golden Tate are both performing really well… where Rob really didn’t. Rob also backs up Rick Barnes after the Tennessee men’s basketball coach benched one of his star players, Chaz Lanier, for not shooting the ball as that’s what he’s “being paid to do”, and it just reinforces that the old college sports model is dead and it’s now minor league sports. Plus listeners want to know if Rob would buy one of the new AI powered robots that were rolled out at this year’s CES in Las Vegas, and Rob does NOT want one because he’s a big believer in Terminator.   And we of course have to talk about the story of the week… the giant coyote that got pulled out of the produce section of an Aldi in Chicago. That leads us into a crazy conversation about our run-ins with wild animals!   This week's show is presented by Draft Kings!! New DraftKings customers can bet $5 to get $200 in bonus bets instantly!

The guys are BACK after a very tough week for both Horry and Jenners. Rob was obviously touch-and-go all week with the insane California wildfires. He talks about how he could see them from his house, went several days without power and how he and his wife had to pack the items they felt were irreplaceable in case the worst happened. Thankfully Rob's house was fine and his family is okay. Jenners also had an impossibly hard week, as he and his wife lost their son Cody right after the New Year. Cody Corby was only 32, and the Jenners family is trying to find a way forward without him.  We quickly pivot back to basketball, and we're all a little bummed that we missed out on the Jason Whitlock and Joy Taylor audio from last week (which we play and laugh at anyway). Plus we get Rob's thoughts on the Jimmy Butler drama in Miami, and if the Heat can even find a way forward if he indeed remains on the roster. Rob tries to figure out where it all went wrong for Jimmy in Miami, who had a good run for a while in that city, and why it's not in Miami's best interest to trade him.  And everyone jumps in on Zion Williamson's suspension for lateness (and fatness) with the audio of the week from Shannon and Stephen A laying into him. Rob says lateness shows a greater disrespect for the team, and characterizes him as a guy who only cares about himself. Harper points out that he's putting unneeded stress on his body by trying to be a high-flying dunker. Plus a look around the NBA standings, with surprise seasons from the Cavs, Rockets and Grizzlies thus far. Stand out players like Zach LaVine, Karl Anthony-Towns in New York, and the wild numbers that Nikola Jokic is putting up AGAIN this season. The Tweet of the Week comes from Mad Max Vernon Maxwell who took time to dunk on the Utah Jazz again, we play some hilarious audio from TLC's new show about Tourette's syndrome, and a funny Big Shot of the Week to the Sacramento reporter that got nabbed looking at Rhianna's Instagram during a live shot. We make our picks for the National Championship Game on Monday night, and close it out with a hilarious round of Black Crime or White Crime! This week's show is presented by Draft Kings!!

The bonus show opens with some love for Ja'Kobi Lane, who caught three touchdowns in the USC Bowl win... but we did NOT expect his voice to sound the way it did! Really it's any excuse to bring back the Dutch runner who sounds like Mickey Mouse. We also get a listener question about Toledo rushing the field three times before they actually won their bowl game against Pitt, as a  listener is convinced they jinxed it. And Rob talks about a time that he was asked to wear NBA Champions shirts before they had actually won, and decided to do it because the money was too good.  One of the biggest debates of the week in the NBA hits the bonus show, as we get into Wemby shooting a high volume of 3-pointers. Rob wants him to develop his shot from mid-range more than his three. Harp wants him to put on weight. Jenners argues that this is the one time in his career he can goof around with shot selection and build his game outside-in. Let us know where you fall in on this one. We wrap it up by talking about the Happy Gilmore 2 trailer that dropped on Christmas Day, and what movie sequels we were excited for that let us down. Candidates include Joker 2, Rush Hour 3, and Coming to America 2 (a big one),

We are BACK from the holiday break with the news that Robert Horry is on the HALL OF FAME BALLOT! And while he isn't sure he will get in with a crowded nomination class, the fact that he's officially in the conversation is huge. He tells us how he found out, what the reactions have been from friends and fans and why he believes he deserves to be there.   Rob also gets into the D'Angelo Russell trade from LA to the Nets (again) and admits that he likes the move for D-Lo's future. Harper thinks Finney-Smith is a great fit for the Lakers if he sticks to his role as a perimeter shooter and defender. And the firing of Mike Brown threw everyone for a loop - and Rob speculates that one of the Kings star players must have sounded off to management and that's what made it happen so abruptly. Mike Malone held nothing back by saying the move shows that Sacramento management has "no class" and how that message resonates to the owners and GMs around the league.   Everyone talks about the fun they had on Christmas break, until Rob decided to shoot Jenners a text to remind him that Draymond Green already has 7 techs, as Jenners bet of "under 10" for the season really starts to implode. That leads us into the incident caught on tape where Draymond was cursing out Buddy Hield on the floor and later saying it was his was of motivating him. Rob sounds off, saying he was never motivated by people yelling at him and had a huge disagreement with a teammate in Houston over that. Which spins us into a conversation about how guys choose to motivate their teammates and what really works.   Anthony Edwards got popped $100K for cursing on live TV, and Rob says the big fine was the NBA trying to send a message to players to watch their language on live TV. And we celebrate the return of NBA fights, after Amen Thompson threw down Tyler Herro - and the Marshall-Nurkic suspensions came down in the Dallas-Phoenix fight. We also jump into the College Playoff picks for the quarter finals games this week, which has us all going in different directions. And we close with a Big Shot of the Week to the National Police of Peru for arresting drug dealers on Christmas dressed as the Grinch - and a hilarious round of "It Happened This Year" where we try to remember specifics about stuff that went down in 2024.

We open the bonus show this week talking about Duke star Cooper Flagg, and what Rob thinks he can become in the NBA as the chatter around his draft stock continues to bubble. Rob is big on Dylon Harper, Ron Harper's son at Rutgers, but he does believe that Flagg will still be a force in the NBA. Duane sends in a question about who we would go with in De'Aaron Fox vs Trae Young in a 1-on-1, and while we all like Trae's shot, everyone goes with Fox for a number of reasons.   Audio of the week comes from Panthers rookie wide receiver Xavier Legette who admits he ate RACCOON for Thanksgiving, and we go around the globe and see what exotic delicacies Rob has tried and what he likes. And a listener wants to know if the Clippers can make the playoffs even if Kawhi Leonard is never healthy, and at what point he should stop hoping that Kawhi will look like his old self.   Clem asks Rob who the worst shooter he ever played with was, coming off the Bulls and Hornets missing a combined 75 three-pointers in one game! Rob jokes that it would never happen in his day because players would stop passing you the ball. And we close it out with our annual Christmas traditions and how much they've changed as we've gotten older.

We are closing out our final week of the year with the NBA Cup Final, as the Bucks and Thunder match up in the battle of who-gets-paid. Everyone makes their picks and we take turns bouncing around the NBA trade radar. It runs the gamut from the annual Jimmy Butler trade rumors, to the Lakers adding pieces they might not need, and everyone scratches their heads at the state of the Washington Wizards. Plus it’s the first round of the College Football Playoffs this weekend, and everyone makes their picks on all the big games. Arguments arise about the legitimacy of a Mountain West Champion in Boise State, how no one has any faith in Notre Dame, and all the questions about James Franklin’s big game record. We wonder if Ohio State will actually show up in a big spot, and Rob picks against his buddy Dabo Swinney as they get ready to face Texas. Freddie Freeman’s baseball also set a record at auction this week, which leads us to ask what sports memorabilia would you want if you had a blank check – and responses ranges from Kobe game-worn gear, to Rob wanting Hank Aaron’s jersey from the day he broke the home run record. And after De’Vandre Campbell quit on the Niners, Rob admits that he’s done it in NBA games when he didn’t want to play “scrub minutes”. Plus, with the wave of NFL home invasions, Rob is reminded of a time in his day when the NBA started to warn players about a breakout of car jackings in the 90’s. We also give a Big Shot of the Week to Louisville head basketball coach Pat Kelsey, who had one of the best answers to a press question we’ve heard in a while. And we close out our final “big” show before Christmas with a hilarious Christmas-themed round of Rapid Fire!

The Shoot Around starts with Nikola Jokic who said this week that players should get paid LESS for losses to use as motivation. As a fan Jenners doesn't hate the idea, but Rob feels like it's disrespectful because guys take that money with the idea that you're always try to win. We also joke about how funny it would be to have a stat tracker that watches a player's paycheck go down as the game gets away from them. Kirk also asks if we're sleeping on the Grizzlies, and Rob reminds us that before his suspension and injury, he was in the MVP conversation and is the spark plug for the rest of the team.    We also get Rob's thoughts about Shams reporting that the Warriors are on a hunt for another "star", and Rob says when he looks at the Warriors he thinks they need to add strength and size. Donny's question for the show is regarding the Knicks but Rob still isn't buying it. And we have to discuss the video that went viral this week comparing Jokic's moves to Magic's and how similar they look, and it sounds like Rob is FINALLY on the Jokic bandwagon. And which player would we take?    And we close out the show with the story of Kirk Herbstreit's son Chase committing to Michigan, after his dad made his name at Ohio State. We ask Rob what school would burn him up if his son decided to commit to a rival. If you ever have a question for the Shoot Around, send it to bigshotbobpod@gmail.com or on X and Instagram @bigshotbobpod.

We open this week’s show as Rob laments Alabama missing the College Football Playoff, which spins us into the biggest sports story of the week as we try to figure out if strength of schedule is a myth based on who made it in. We also joke about Notre Dame, as Cam Newton calls out the Irish for consistently letting fans down in bowl season, and how they need to affiliate with a conference in the future or be left out of the Playoff. Rob also asks the show if you were a top prospect whether you’d play in your bowl game, and everyone on the show agrees that you SHOULDN’T if you are a projected first round pick, unless there is language in their NIL contracts stating otherwise.   Rob says his Mom had a blast at Friday’s Lakers-Hawks game, which ended in a while overtime win for the Hawks, which leads us into the current struggles of the Lakers. Rob says LeBron continues to struggle playing one-on-one with guys, how incredible this recent Jokic run as been for the Nuggets, and whether the Brandon Ingram rumor has any merit in helping fix the Lakers issues. We also have some laughs at this week’s insane Mike Brown press conference (which went on painfully long) and whether the Kings need to move on from him in order for this Kings lineup to find their way back this season.   Juan Soto may have brought trouble into Rob’s marriage after he broke off the biggest deal in sports history, because baseball money is for REAL compared to the NBA. That sends us into this conversation about what NBA player you would want to get if you had a blank check to write, and the answers range from Giannis, to Wemby, to Steph. We also debate whether or not ESPN will force Stephen A Smith onto the new Inside the NBA, give out a really inspiring Big Shot of the Week that honors injured veterans and first responders… and we cap it off with our annual round of “Is It a Bowl Game??”

Rob and Rob are back for the Friday bonus show, with starts with everyone dumping on MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred for proposing the “Golden At-Bat” rule at the Winter Meetings, because we just don’t like it. That spins into the rule about having a runner at second base at the start of every inning in extra innings. Rob also fields a listener question about why the Spurs-Mavericks Game 7 in the 2006 Western Conference Semifinals made the Prime show about “Best Game 7’s” and Rob says he HATES that game because it’s the game that cost him a ring after Manu Ginobili fouled Dirk Nowitzki.   We also dive into the story about Steve Spagnuolo’s wife giving the one player on the Chiefs defense with the best hit a full Italian dinner, and what incentives Rob received in his day. And while he didn’t have a lot of incentives in the way of food, he did have some cash incentives with coaches and players that made him a few bucks in the day. And Bobby wants to know if NBA teams got together for post-game meals after the Christmas games, to which Rob answers that it only happened when they were on the road. That spins us off into a conversation about what Rob likes to cook, and how he graduated up to cook the Thanksgiving turkey this year.   White Chocolate also said this week that NBA Christmas is better than NFL Thanksgiving, and Rob jokes that he used to love NFL on Thanksgiving until they forced us to watch the terrible Cowboys this year! And a debate breaks out after we decide to CUT one player between Devin Booker, Donvan Mitchell, Anthony Edwards and Jaylen Brown.   This week’s episode is presented by our amazing friends at Uncommon Goods!

We open the show with Jenners saying that he really hates the NBA Cup, largely because it feels like a gimmick for an otherwise successful league – while Rob and B-Dog say that it has a benefit to league by guys playing hard in the regular season when otherwise they wouldn’t. And the debate rages about it’s value to casual NBA fans. Plus a look at the NBA standings starts to tell the story about the caliber of basketball that most teams are playing – including the Lakers, who despite getting embarrassed the other night have played relatively well so far this season.   Since B-Dog has to leave a little early for a work commitment, we jump ahead and do a hilarious round of Walmart or Waffle House! Then Rob and Rob get into whether or not Anthony Davis should be in the mix for Defensive Player of the Year, after he came out this week and said he was frustrated by never being in consideration for one. We also try to figure out what happened from last season to this season with the Minnesota Timberwolves, because they are on a losing skid and have not played that well this season. Rob thinks that has a lot to do with team chemistry because it’s something that numbers and salaries don’t account for.   We round out the show with a conversation about Caitlin Clark’s star power as opposed to the under-30 guys in the NBA today, and where that attention really comes from and what it does to the egos of younger players. Plus Ja Morant’s back and playing great, but still has a long road to climb to get back into  good graces of NBA media and fans. And of course we get into all the wild fights from college football rivalry week, and give out another inspiring and motivational Big Shot of the Week.   This week’s episode is presented by our amazing friends at Uncommon Goods!

It’s Thanksgiving Week and everyone has stuff going on! Rob’s entire family is in town (which we’re not sure he’s all that thrilled about) and Harper is at the beach with his family. But we still come together at this time for thanks… and dump on the Sixers for going snitch hunting this past week! We are all in agreement about Tyrese Maxey being the likely snitch, but Rob is floored that Joel Embiid continues to be late in the face of all the team’s struggles. Plus Rob’s favorite story of the week was Fred VanVleet starting a huge arguments with the refs and somehow not catching a suspension or a bigger fine than LeMelo Ball got last week.   The viral audio of the week comes from the Timberwolves broadcast, who continued to double down on how bad Jaylen Brown had been shooting from three while he continues to drain one after another in the opening minutes of their game! Rob is also intrigued by the idea of the Eastern and Western conferences not being “equal” in the post season format but rather the best 16 teams from across the league making the cut – and the debate rages about traditionalism versus new-age consumers when it comes to pro sports.   We also round out the show with some hilarious audio of President Biden trying to introduce the Boston Celtics during their White House visit, the NBA’s updated MVP ladder (on which Rob feels like LeBron needs to be higher based on what he’s doing at age 40), and a hilarious debate about ESPN’s best “Big threes” in the NBA, with some not even making the list! The college football pandemonium also takes center stage, as we get Rob’s thoughts on Alabama’s sub-par season, largely because Bama fans have been spoiled for so long, and Jenners tries to break down the WILD end of the Arizona State-BYU game. Plus a truly amazing and inspiring Big Shot of the Week, and a fun high-low Thanksgiving game as we roll into the holiday weekend!   This week’s show is presented by Draft Kings and Manscaped!!   Grab some TDs with DraftKings Sportsbook – because they’re on sale from Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday!

Now that the debacle of the Jake Paul-Mike Tyson fight has ended, we check out what former NBA players are the odds-on favorites to fight Jake Paul. Artest, Dwight Howard and others we get… but how is Charles Oakley no on this list?? That also leads us into the Shaq vs Dwight Howard fight idea that Dwight posed on social media this week… and Shaq abruptly shut down. Maybe the Big Fella knows he isn’t in as good of shape as Dwight these days.   And with Inside the NBA surviving, listeners want to know what show we would love to get another season of… and top answers were The Sopranos and definitely Chappelle’s Show! Plus the Defensive Player of the Year conversation around Atlanta’s Dyson Daniels is NOT one we had on our Bingo card. De’Aaron Fox also comes up as someone Rob loves, but listeners feel like he doesn’t get enough love on the show. And after Ben Simmons played 22 minutes this week without scoring a single point, listeners want to know if Rob ever did that as a starter… and he says NO WAY, because he was still young enough to dunk in those days.   This week’s show is presented by Manscaped and Uncommon Goods!!   Get the Chairman Pro Package today and experience a shave that is as smooth as you deserve.

We open with Rob joking that Jenners is going to lose the Draymond Green less-than 10 technical fouls bet after he got TWO the other night and has already notched four this season. Rob also HATES that the NBA refs continue to put out statements after the games that they missed calls, like what happened on the Jayson Tatum game winner from the other night, and how that doesn’t do anything except upset the fan base. Plus everyone on the show is really happy that Inside the NBA got picked up by ESPN, but to still be produced by Turner, as that show has proved to be a very good spotlight for the league over the years.   Rob also thinks that Mike Tyson just ran out of steam in the Jake Paul fight but does not believe the fight was rigged. We also have some props for Anthony Davis and LeBron James as they continue to dominate early in the season, especially with LeBron at the doorstep of 40 years old. And we all laugh at the farce of the Lakers now saying they DON’T want to trade D-Lo because he’s playing so well off the bench, because that’s exactly the time you do trade him! Plus LeMelo Ball’s $100K fine caught us a little off guard due to the context of the comment he made, but Rob says it was clear that they were sending a message to people not to cross that line, especially when it comes to the league’s sponsors.   James Harden also made history this week by surpassing Ray Allen for second on the all-time three-pointers made list, which doesn’t really change his legacy until he elevates the Clippers and wins a ring. And with Cleveland entering this week still unbeaten at 15-0, Rob says they could be way better than anyone anticipated down the stretch but might not make it to the Finals as the 15-0 teams of the past have done. And we try to make sense of the Philadelphia 76ers who continue to just fall apart right in front of our eyes, even though Rob thinks they will still find a way to make the playoffs.   And it wouldn’t be a week if we didn’t argue about the College Football Playoff and what happens if a 2-loos team loses the SEC Championship and gets bounced while another team sneaks in behind them. Madness all over the place in the first year of the 12-team Playoff! We also hand out Big Shot of the Week to an Atlanta man who saved a stranger from a burning home, and wrap up the week with a spin on Shaq’s game show called Lucky 7!   This week’s show is presented by Manscaped and Uncommon Goods!!   Get the Chairman Pro Package today and experience a shave that is as smooth as you deserve.

On this week’s bonus show, we get right into the NBA, as Rob breaks down the most recent MVP ladder… and he and B-Dog try to guess the Top 10. We also talk about the college player who cup-checked a shooter in the corner, and ask Rob what players did to try to interfere with his shot. An to almost no one’s surprise, Jerry Jones continues to suck, as we talk about his reluctance to hang curtains and how Rob’s boy CeeDee Lamb continues to have issues with the offense. And could Deion Sanders be the hire if the Cowboys decide to fire Mike McCarthy?   Rob and B-Dog also both loved the Texans all-red look on Sunday night even though the helmets look like they had Soul Glo on them! And as we look ahead to the college football weekend, we talk about the chaos in the playoff right now after all these big losses, and how the 12-team playoff is really paying off in its first year. We also have to have a serious discussion about Lamar Odom’s sex doll escapades with his new Khloe Kardashian sex doll, including conversation Rob and his wife had about it earlier in the week.    Finally with Warner Brothers selling 10 fully functional Batmobiles from the Christopher Nolan movies, we ask Rob what fictional car would he would want to own. Answers range from the A-Team van, Speed Buggy and the DeLorean from Back to the Future… which Rob would NOT fit into.

We open the show this week with Rob’s stories about Bobbleheads that do NOT look like him, after his wife confused his bobblehead for Tony Parker, and how he often gets mistaken for Alonzo Mourning and Horace Grant when out in public at times. It takes us down a wild road about NBA bobbles and statues that don’t look anything like the guys they are modeled after, specifically the tribute to Shaq’s LA statue.   Rob gets into the D-Lo situation with the Lakers, and why JJ decided to bench him, and why he immediately started performing better coming off the bench. We also dive into the rumors that DeAngelo will be used to make a move for another big like Brooke Lopez, and Rob says that as long as AD is healthy he doesn’t think the Lakers need another big. And we try to figure out why AD continues to shy away from wearing goggles, after getting popped in the eye the other night.   Plus the Giannis versus Jaylen Brown saga this week was confusing to us, as Giannis said he doesn’t want to be anyone’s friend but then plays games with guys on the court and is somehow surprised that guys don’t find that cute. B-Dog also lays out the trade scenarios for Dame Lillard to go to the Lakers, which would be so lopsided it would be comical. And the Cavaliers are showing the league just how talented they are, from Donovan Mitchell, to Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen, they are deep and talented and play great defense… all leading to an impressive, unbeaten start to the season. Plus the conversation about Chet Holmgren’s injury leads into Victor Wembanyama – “the Skinny Committee” – and whether guys who don’t carry much weight can still be offensive dominators in the NBA.   There is SO much great audio this week, including a check-in on the Draymond Green technical counter, audio from the cockpit during the Auburn basketball team fight that forced the plane to turn around this weekend, the hilarious and amazing Michelle Beadle Nuggets flub, and Pat McAfee leading the wild LSU fans into cursing on live TV! And the audio of Saints coach Darren Rizzi saying he clogged the toilet in the coach’s office on his first day takes us into a conversation about clogging the toilet at other people’s homes. We also give out a Big Shot of the Week to a Texas firefighter who pulled a toddler out of the second story window of a burning building, and play a classic round of Shot Clock that, as always, ends in controversy.

The bonus show opens with some great questions from Big Shot listeners, including Dean who wants to know who our Play-In teams will be based on the picks we made last week. Rob rolls with the Bucks and Sixers in the East, and the Nuggets and the Kings in the West… Jenners has the Sixers and Heat in the East, and Dallas and the Suns in the West… and B-Dog goes with the Lakers and Dallas in the West, and the Hawks and the Nets in the East.   Plus Michael Porter Jr said this week that if the Nuggets don’t win this year that they might have to break up that team, and a look at everyone’s contracts proves that otherwise. But Rob feels like they need to focus on getting the bench pieces back that they lost in order to turn it around. And after impressive starts, listeners what to know who Rob thinks will have a bigger impact on their team this season, Buddy Hield or Sabonis? And Rob is rolling with Buddy because he’s basically become the new splash brother. Rob also agrees with Baron Davis’s assessment that a Doc Rivers team is a “beatable team” and says they may need to blow up the Bucks entirely.   There was also a weird streak that came to light this week, where the Houston Rockets haven’t beat the Golden State Warriors since February of 2020! That led us to ask Rob about teams he could not find a way to beat, and he says his Houston team couldn’t beat the Sonics because of their iconic lineup. And finally we all tech the higher or lower bet that Draymond laid out, saying he’d get less than 10 techs this season.   This week’s show is presented by UncommonGoods.com!

Rob joins us live from Napa Valley as he’s travelling again this week, but jumps right into the outstanding play of Anthony Davis so far this season and where he thinks the Lakers need to tighten up. For Rob that’s mostly due a young coach in JJ having no faith in his bench, but he needs to get a hold of that for the Lakers to make a deep run. We’re also surprised at how good the Cavs have been out of the gate, but Rob warns Donovan Mitchell to remember to let his teammates help and not put it all on his shoulders. Plus Jayson Tatum talks about being passed over by the Lakers in the 2017 Draft, and Rob says he understands why that happened because they needed a guard. His surprise came more from them passing on DeAaron Fox and taking Lonzo Ball.   There are also some sinking ships that need to be discussed early on – and we start with the 1-6 Milwaukee Bucks, who have not looked cohesive to start this season, even though Giannis and Dame have both played well. And with losses like this come the rumors that Giannis is going to ask for a trade out of Milwaukee, so we play some “what if” scenarios with teams like the Brooklyn Nets and the Chicago Bulls. That also leads us into the Philadelphia 76ers who are also only carrying one win into the third week of the season, and everyone on the show feels like the Sixers live and die with Embiid, and with him sitting out it will get worse before it gets better.   We also have beefs to get into this week! We start with Kevin Durant vs Stephen A Smith, which is hard for us to understand due to Stephen A’s platform and reach – and Rob feels like KD is way too sensitive for a guy who wants to be the star of his team. The other beef of the week went down between DeMar DeRozan, who was happy to honor Vince Carter during his number retirement, and Drake who of course got himself into the middle of something again. And Jenners brings up the Miami Heat who hoisted a banner in honor of Bam Adebayo becoming a US Gold Medalist, and that sets everyone off on legacy recognition.   We wrap it up with the funniest poster of the week, which went down in the Baylor-Gonzaga game – Rob shares that the kid that got dunked into the Earth was the coach’s son, which makes it that much funnier! Plus a really amazing Big Shot of the Week to a family in North Carolina who is sacrificing their business to help their community – and a truly hilarious round of Rapid Fire to close out the show!   This week’s show is presented by UncommonGoods.com!

After an Iowa Track & Field star clocked a 4.12 40 during halftime of the Hawkeyes game, it leads us to open the show with Robert Horry’s second homework assignment of the week. He wanted to know what athletes could excel in other sports – and Jenners asks about NBA players specifically who we think could play in the NFL. Names like LeBron and Ant of course pop up, but Rob goes with the obvious picks of Charlie Ward and Jalen Suggs, who both played college football.   As the season unfolds, Rob also wants to know what Wemby can do to put on weight before we get too far in, especially after that video surfaced this week of Stephen Adams backing him down in the post and there was nothing Wemby could do to stop him. Plus after Anthony Richardson checked himself out of the Colts game, it reminds Rob of the time he pulled himself out of a game, but not because he was tired but because he was mad at Latrell Sprewell. Listeners also want to know what Rob thought about Chris Paul taking a swing at Dillon Brooks in the scrum this week, and Rob says that if you wanted to fight a guy in his day you just did it, or met at center court like Kobe and Reggie Miller.   We have even more listener questions on the table, including – Are the Magic poised for a breakout season? Is Russell Westbrook cooked, or just in the wrong system in Denver as Rob suggests? We dive into that, and acknowledge the NBA Halloween costume of the year… which goes to the guy who dressed up like Manu Ginobili and his girlfriend who dressed up as the bat he swatted out of the air during a game!

Rob is live from Houston as the Rockets celebrate the 30th anniversary of their 1994-95 NBA Championship, which breaks into a conversation about what teams are beholden to their last championship and need to find a way past it. And of course we open with the wild conversation about the Dwyane Wade statue – as we all think it was really bad, but it appears that Wade had a hand in approving it before it was unveiled. We love that D-Wade got his statue, and Rob jokes that he ever were to get one he would want to make sure it looks exactly like him.   Plus the Lakers have come out of the gates strong, winners of three of their first four games, and Rob is happy with the system he’s seeing so far from LA. JJ is now the front runner to win Coach of the Year which is a hilarious “way too early” prediction for Harper. Rob likes the limited look of plays that the Lakers have rolled out, which is keeping the offense simple. Joel Embiid also got T’d up even though he hasn’t played a game yet this season, due to “left knee management”, which scares everyone about how the Sixers season will play out if he remains on the bench. Jenners also has a wild NBA stat about Ben Simmons that further infuriates the show.   Everyone on the show rolls out their homework for Rob, which was to lay out the six teams from the East and the West that will make the Playoffs this season… and of course everyone’s opinions waver wildly, with a few exceptions. We also touch on the Indiana Fever parting ways with Christie Sides, the WILD end of the OKC-New Orleans game with two buzzer-beater threes, and the total meltdown from the Washington Commanders radio booth after last week’s Hail Mary to win the game. Plus an inspiring Big Shot of the Week to a woman in LA who saved a young girl’s life, and a round of “Build me a Statue” as a salute to D-Wade’s wild one that was unveiled this week.

We open the bonus show this week with ESPN’s ranking of the Top 25 players in the NBA as we tip off the season… and Rob is already knee-deep in controversy for not putting Luca Doncic in his Top 10 this week. Plus we see if Rob and B-Dog can guess the Top 10 without seeing the list, and they struggle with one superstar who could be in the MVP conversation this year. We also ask Rob… could the Rockets will be good this year? Rob really likes their young core, but somehow uses this topic as a chance to slaughter the hopes of Hawks fans for some reason by saying their first round pick Zaccharie Risacher is going to be a bust.   Rob also wants to get into Victor Wembanyama saying that he liked a lot of guys in the league before he played, but his opinion of them has waned after seeing how little they put into their game… and Rob asks him to pump the brakes on judging other people’s game prep as he’s just a sophomore in the league. And could Anthony Edwards really leave the NBA to go play football after winning a ring? Rob thinks the skills don’t translate the same way and there are physical aspects that you don’t take into account.   After Aaron Rodgers got caught picking his nose on Sunday Night Football, we discuss the most embarrassing things that have happened to us – Rob says it was when his pants fell down on an NBA Sideline, and Jenners getting spit-shamed in the grocery store for licking his fingers to open a bag. And the curious case of Texas throwing enough trash on the field to get the officials to pick up a flag really sets a bad precedent for College Football. And we close with Tyrese Haliburton… posting a congratulatory video at 4am to 50 Cent after seeing him in Vegas…  with three white women in the background that he brought home from the show. We ask Rob about the last thing he posted online that his wife asked him to take down… and it was a picture with a porno star in Vegas!   This week’s episode is presented by Draft Kings!

The NBA season tips off TONIGHT! And Rob is back to work at Spectrum – not for the home opener – but he will be in the building for the Timberwolves and Lakers as they tip off the season. We take a look around the league at the get-in prices for the NBA home openers, and the Celtics and Knicks at the Garden leads the way with the most expensive ticket which makes sense to Rob who is now more optimistic about the Knicks. And everyone struggles to guess the lowest ticket to get in the door, which was the Bulls.   Rob was also surprised to hear Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve go OFF on the WNBA officiating, because while she was right but that’s not something you say in front of the media. And we gauge Rob’s excitement on the Lakers rookies, as “Westside Knecht” had a monster game (even though it meant Rob had to work an extra half hour) and Bronny finally showed up for the dance.   And we run off a huge round of NBA Hot Takes as the season gets underway, and it start with Kendrick Perkins saying Kawhi Leonard should consider retiring, even though he’s owed $150M over the next three season… but Rob is doubting his passion for the game. We also take the under on Ben Simmons games played at 44.5, how Luca and Kyrie could not be the greatest backcourt in NBA history because they don’t play defense, Darius Garland feeling like he was “turned on” and how Wembanyama might be special but needs to slow down on criticizing how other guys get ready for the season. Plus everyone goes over on OKC winning 50 games this year, and what to expect in Philly if Joel Embiid misses half the season.   We find out if Rob has plans to go to the World Series in LA, B-Dog has something to say to Cleveland fans after the Deshaun Watson injury, and we offer up a Big Shot of the Week to two middle school girls who got a proper burial for a lost veteran who was buried without a headstone. And to honor the return of the NBA season, we play an NBA Players edition of Black Crime or White Crime!   This week’s episode is presented by Draft Kings!

Listeners want to know if Zach LaVine is back for the Bulls after a monster preseason performance, but Rob doesn’t have any for Zach because it all depends on his health. Plus a question comes to the show on whether the Bulls should retire Derrick Rose’s number, and what it takes to reach that achievement, because none of us think he’s done enough to have his number retired. We also joke about how Lethal Shooter finally got an amazing picture with Michael Jordan that was out of focus and how he made the mistake of turning to the Internet to fix it. Plus Embiid said this week that he’s done playing back-to-backs, but Rob doesn’t like it because it comes with the territory when you signed your contract. Another listener question to Rob is about the Ball kids, on whether or not they got a fair shake due to their dad, and Rob says they’ve done just fine if they can stay healthy. And we wrap with Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni using his kids as a shield at a post-game press conference and Rob says that should only be allowed after you win a title in your respective sport.

Rob is in Vegas for the Lakers and Warriors, doing an event with Rob Pelinka, and gets right into the rumors about the Lakers hunting for a center and wonders what teams even have an impactful center today. Rob also crossed paths with Draymond Green and talks about how well they got along, and Rob was surprised how short he was when they met. And while we’re on the Lakers, we try to figure out how JJ and Rob can sell Bronny to the fanbase if he continues to underperform in the preseason. Rob and B-Dog both try to convince Jenners that it isn’t about basketball, it’s about the story of playing with his dad, and that doesn’t sit right with people who care about wins and losses and not storylines. Kwame Brown also weights in on the Bronny situation and makes some very strong points from a basketball perspective. We also discuss JB Bickerstaff’s new “no hoodies and jewelry” approach to practice and we agree with it so much that it makes us feel like old men. Mike Malone also enters the conversation after calling his guys “soft” as they come into the preseason, which takes us down a road of figuring out if the Nuggets are “stuck” as some have suggested. Everyone also has some congratulations for the inductees into the Basketball Hall of Fame, and Rob thinks the Liberty are going to win the WNBA Finals amidst record ratings for that series. Rob also made an appearance at the NLDS for his close friend Jack Flaherty, who pitched lights out in Game 1 of the Championship Series. And audio of the week comes in from Cam Newton cracking on Shannon Sharpe on First Take, the over-the-top portrayal of Rob Gronkowski on the Aaron Hernandez FX show, and Jerry Jones threatening to  have a radio host fired after he asked about the poor offseason decisions he’s made. The Governor of Florida Ron DeSantis gets a Big Shot of the Week for standing up for an abandoned dog who was tied to a post during the hurricane – and we close it out with a hilarious round of “Who He Coach For?”

We open this week’s bonus show with one of the wilder basketball card stories we’ve ever heard! In the wake of the Menendez brothers show on Netflix, it has surfaced that both brothers were photographed in the background of a Mark Jackson 1990-91 NBA Hoops card and people are asking them to sign it. It stems into a conversation about the strangest things Rob was asked to sign, and people even wanted him to sign baseballs which makes NO sense. Rob also gets his first look at the wild fight between two female fans happening in the background of KhaDarel Hodge’s celebration video after catching the game winning touchdown last Thursday night, taking us into stories about where we witnessed our favorite fights. Eminem having a grandchild made us all feel old, and we relate that to seeing other people from our youth get older that makes us feel old. Plus Rob offers up his thoughts on the young Rockets roster going into this season, and how he’s excited to see what they can put together. And we close out the show with the strange story of Rashee Rice’s mother being a porch pirate, and what was stolen from our homes by porch pirates.

With B-Dog running late as we start the big show, Rob jokes about how a Raisin truck wrecked and took him out one week on his way home, which seems like the most implausible excuse ever. Oh and basketball is BACK and Rob is already working back in the studio, and we get right into whether Bronny is ready for the show or not. We all seem to agree that he isn’t ready, Rob thinks he still gets the pass to play early in the season, and is hopeful that this push to get him to play with LeBron doesn’t set him back in his career development. Plus Rob weighs in on JJ’s interaction with the media regarding the questions about Rui, being combative like he was on First Take, and uses the opportunity to tell us how Rui will fit into the Lakers lineup this season. And it wouldn’t be a wild week of college football upsets if we didn’t dance on Rob’s grave after Alabama’s epic loss to Vanderbilt, and we have some laughs with the audio of Diego Pavia after the game and how much money he just made for himself. Pat Bev also chimes in on the “disrespect” for Doc Rivers which cracks Rob up, as the played for Phil Jackson in his prime and the comparison of Doc and Phil is wildly unwarranted. That also segues us into Pat’s take on Ben Simmons and how none of us have any expectations for him on the floor. And the early betting odds are out for who could win Coach of the Year… and we don’t even KNOW some of these guys, leading us to play an impromptu game of “Who He Coach For?” And we round out the show with discussion of Caitlin Clark winning Rookie of the Year, the heated rivalry between the Dodgers and Padres this week, a very cool Big Shot of the Week… and to honor Kirk Cousins doing his post-Thursday interview from the parking lot of a Waffle House, it’s another edition of Walmart or Waffle House!

The bonus show kicks off this week with discussion of Joel Embiid, who reportedly lost 25-30 pounds over the summer. Listeners want to know if Rob likes his big men lean or muscular, and Rob feels like Embiid was heavy and needed to lose it. We also saw the official retirement of Derrick Rose this week, which spawns a conversation about guys we thought were going to be the next big thing and just never got there – and SO many great names come up. And with the passing of Pete Rose, as Jenners had several bad encounters with him, we ask about celebrities we had bad run-ins with. Woj also retired from ESPN this week and we want to know who Rob thinks should replace him, and if he ever worked with Woj in his time at ESPN. The Chicago White Sox finished the season with the worst record in MLB history and we discuss teams that are just hard to root for, including the Browns, Kings and especially the Clippers. And now that we are officially in October we see who on the show is a Halloween guy.

We are back from a week off which we forgot to tell the audience about! Blame that one on Jenners who took his kid to Universal Studios, and we learned that Rob is terrified of roller coasters. Rob also updates us on his family in the Carolinas after dealing with all the flooding from Hurricane Helene, and thankfully they are all okay. Plus Rob landed himself in the news this week by saying he deserves to be in the Hall of Fame, which leads us into a conversation about Pete Rose and whether MLB should lift his ban now that he’s passed on. That also brings us into the conversation about the loss of Dikembe Mutombo, one of the most iconic big men to ever play the game and an amazing ambassador for the NBA across the globe. And we have a ton of stuff to talk about on the heels of NBA Media Day, first and foremost being Draymond Green. Harper salutes him for refusing to take any accountability for suspensions and time missed, while Jenners really just wants SOME kind of accountability from him after everything he’s been through. Respect to the Milwaukee reporter who asked Dame about Gorilla shooting her shot as Rob jokes about how much fun Media Days can be. And the Knicks did a lot of squirming behind the mics because they couldn’t talk about the Karl Anthony-Towns trade, as Rob thinks Milwaukee made a HUGE mistake letting him go! Paul Pierce said this week that the Knicks won’t win a championship in his lifetime, and Rob is hesitant to agree, and the audio of Tom Brady cooking Baker Mayfield reminded us of Kobe Bryant. Georgia vs Alabama breaks into the show, which leads us to a funny Big Shot of the Week, and we close it out with another fun round of Bet On Yourself.

The bonus show is here, opening with a question about Dwyane Wade’s coming statue in Miami – as we ask Rob what player deserves a statue that doesn’t have one, and if he were ever to get a statue what it would look like. We also break down Kevin Durant’s “perfect starting lineup” and Rob disagrees with MOST of it. Plus Shaq said this week that Caitlin Clark needs to “wait her turn” and Rob immediately throws it back at Shaq who didn’t wait HIS turn, but also says there is nothing wrong with a young player taking over when they are playing well. Let’s just slow down the “how great they will be” conversation after just a year or two. Plus we ask Rob if the Sphere is the coolest venue in the country after that wild MMA walkout presentation during their last event. And we close it out with asking Rob about the strangest things he’s seen or eaten overseas with all his recent travels, which spins into a discussion about eating chicken feet, frogs legs, and Rob’s HILARIOUS story about eating horse before he knew it was horse!   This week’s show is presented by our great friends at Factor Meals!

Rob opens the show this week live from Manila in the Philippines, as he is traveling for another NBA event and repping American hoops overseas. And Harper comes in on a high after the Falcons beat the Eagles in Philadelphia on Monday night! We also jump into Steve Kerr’s comments about how much Boston fans are going to come for him this season after the Jayson Tatum drama at the Olympics, and Rob feels like opposing players will feed off that energy more than the home team so they can shut them up. That also gets into the story about Derrick White getting into a fight at the Colorado-Colorado State game this past weekend. And speaking of coaches, Kerr came in at #2 on the CBS Sports list of best NBA coaches, with Spoelstra coming in at #1, and JJ Redick finishing dead last – with Rob feels is justified because he has ZERO coaching experience. Rob also has a lot of love for A’ja Wilson after she shattered the WNBA single season scoring record, and how happy he is to have more eyes on the league now. And we wonder why the Brooklyn Nets are the betting leader to land Jimmy Butler when they are hanging their hats on Ben Simmons, and where Jimmy would better fit instead. Audio of the Week comes to us from the Shannon Sharpe Instagram sex mishap and how Ochocinco responded on their podcast! The NFL and college football topics this week go from Tua’s future, the worst officiating calls of the week, the Arch Manning hype and the futures of Billy Napier at Florida and Mike Norvell at FSU. Big Shot of the Week goes to the Chicopee, MA Police Department for helping build bridges with the kids in their community   This week’s show is presented by our great friends at Factor Meals!

Rob opens the show with a Happy Birthday to his wife Candace, even though they didn't go dancing this year, which was an annual birthday tradition. And we dive right into listener questions about Rudy Gobert training with MMA fighters, and the wild idea that he continues to get Defensive Player of the Year Awards even though he's a defensive liability when it matters most. We also ask Rob if the Bulls and Zach LeVine can repair their relationship after the active work the team did to trade him. Plus, after Steve Mariucci showed up on NFL Network with a cast he had from when he was four years old (he's 64 now) we all offer up the strangest things we have from our childhoods... and Rob's is a classic! Rob also thinks that Deion Sanders will last three or four more seasons at Colorado despite all the drama surrounding him and the program at the start of the season. Finally with the release of the Thomas Froot Loop Bagels, we talk about some of the nastiest food we would eat as kids including ketchup on eggs, salted watermelon, peanuts in Coke, and for some reason Rob stuffing peppermints into squished up oranges.   Thanks to DRAFT KINGS for sponsoring this episode of Big Shot Bob!

Rob had a rough experience at a rental place with some dated furniture and no A/C, which got us all thinking about the things that remind us of our childhoods… everything from cars with no seatbelts to plastic on the furniture! And we immediately dive into one of the biggest stories of the week after Tyreek Hill got detained before the Dolphins game, including the crazy audio from the police body cam. Rob feels like both sides were at fault and how he advises his family to always comply with the police in the moment and deal with the fallout later, because you never know when an angry cop can make a situation a lot worse. And on the heels of the Tyreek incident we make our picks for this week’s Draft Kings Pick Six on the Dolphins-Bills game. We also touch on this ridiculous storyline from Windhorst about whether or not JJ Redick “believes” in Austin Reaves – and Rob says he believes in him coming off the bench and doing the job he was paid for, and how this is a typical BS offseason storyline. Plus there’s some audio of the big fella out there this week, as Shaq appeared on the Pat McAfee Show and said he doesn’t view Wemby as a “dominant” player. Rob agrees on the terms that you define dominance as guys who play with physical force, and it’s unfair to compare a guy like Wemby to Shaq. And some crazy audio from Angel Reese as she comes out on her show and talks about some of the wild hate that she’s received. There’s a lot to talk about from this wild NFL opening weekend, including Giants fans burning Daniel Jones jerseys after one week, the huge Raiders-Chargers fights, and everyone’s take on the announcement of Kendrick Lamar as the Super Bowl Halftime performer. And of course some of the college football fallout from Notre Dame to Michigan, and the Governor of New Hampshire gets the Big Shot of the Week for a wild reason! And we close it out with another classic match-up of Rapid Fire.   Thanks to DRAFT KINGS for sponsoring this episode of Big Shot Bob!

It’s a loaded bonus show this week, as we dive right into Kevin Garnett’s statement that the Phoenix Suns can win more than 47 games this year and Booker and Beal could be MVPs. Rob does not agree, but Harp and Jenners both think they can pull 50 wins. Listener questions this week come to B-Dog, about how much longer he thinks Trae Young will last in Atlanta, as the reality of the trade market just doesn’t exist for his contract. We also rank the all-time careers of James Harden, Russell Westbrook, Dwyane Wade and Chris Paul – and everyone has a different ranking for different reasons. In the aftermath of the Ricky Pearsall incident, listeners want to know if Rob has any flashy jewelry like a Rolex, and is he afraid to wear it out in public. Plus we help Mark Cuban remember the 2006 NBA Finals as he seems to be suffering from some revisionist history regarding Dwyane Wade, and after Joey Chestnut demolished 83 hot dogs in 10 minutes, we ask Rob what he could eat 83 of!   Thanks to DRAFT KINGS for sponsoring this episode of Big Shot Bob!

It’s a weird start to the show this week as everyone seems to be having some sort of insurance issue – which goes to prove that anyone from radio guys to former NBA stars, all have to deal with the same tiny issues in life. Of course we need to know if Rob thinks the Clippers stabbed Paul George in the back, as his father claimed this week… and Rob says NO it’s always just business, but the Clippers definitely screwed up this situation! And with our friends from Draft Kings coming back to the show this week, Rob gets in deep with his fantasy football competition this year and how he’s approaching it. Plus the news about the Philadelphia 76ers saying they are “seriously considering” moving to New Jersey is just a negotiation ploy to put some pressure on the city of Philadelphia to get a new stadium deal done. And with Steph signing his monster one-year extension, Rob says it sets him up for the end of his career in Golden State. Speaking of big paychecks, Shaq thinks the WNBA women should be paid what the men are getting – and while we love Shaq, and agree with that sentiment, he of all people knows that the WNBA isn’t there financially yet. And props to Angel Reese for breaking the WNBA single season rebound record. Plus some great college football audio from Brian Kelly, a random rant from Mike Gundy, and Rob’s good friend Dabo Swinney checked in with him after that tough loss to Georgia to say they are going to right the ship. There’s also an inspiring Big Shot of the Week to a brother who came through for his sister on a DIY – something Rob refuses to do anymore because he has money – and another hilarious installation of “Walmart or Waffle House”!   Thanks to DRAFT KINGS for sponsoring this episode of Big Shot Bob!

We open the bonus show by gauging Rob’s excitement and trepidation as the Crimson Tide kick off their first college football season without Nick Saban in a long time, and Rob is remaining optimistic about their playoff chances. And as the NBA asks to have the Warner Brothers Discovery lawsuit to be thrown out, B-Dog feels like this is a long play for younger viewers because so few people have traditional cable packages anymore. We also get Chet Holmgren’s “welcome to the NBA moment” and Rob reveals that his was not getting a call after getting a hard foul, and the ref looking at him like a little kid for even looking for the foul. He also shares an AMAZING story about sharing the court with Michael Jordan and how he was well aware that he was getting calls that others weren’t. Plus after Adam Sandler was seen hooping in a local NYC neighborhood, we ask Rob about his favorite celebrities to hoop with. And did you see the Six Flags Mexico ride that got stuck 250 feet in the air in the middle of a nasty storm?? It gets us into the conversation about Robert Horry and roller coasters. Plus we put the guys to the test and see if they can dial up the Top 20 rated players in the new NBA 2K25.   Special thanks to FACTOR MEALS for sponsoring this week’s show!!

We are BACK from our break – after taking a week off for Rob’s 54th birthday (where he restaurant hopped and drank too much), and Rob’s NBA trip to China for youth basketball camps. We get all the recaps of Rob’s escapades, before we dive into the insane rumor of the week, that the Lakers are already angling for a way to get Luka Doncic after LeBron hangs it up. And Rob and B-Dog both agree that this will never happen. Plus we get into the drama surrounding Anthony Edwards after he said Jordan was the only guy “back in the day” who had any skill, as Magic Johnson responded live on stage, and Rob says it’s the ignorance of youth who never got to see those guys play. Kevin Garnett also rocked the NBA boat this week by saying Giannis was the 4th best player in the East – even though he could only come up with two guys who are better – and Rob asks who we would roll with when fully healthy. Angel Reese just scored herself a new podcast and a partnership with Reese’s, which continues to showcase the main stream rise of the WNBA! And Sheryl Swoops got into it with Stephen A Smith over the women’s league this week, which continues to show how relevant the WNBA conversation is in sports today. College Football season is also back, and we couldn’t help but dive into the Deion Sanders story, as he had a reporter banned from asking questions, and Harper feels like Deion needs to leave Colorado to redeem a bigger program to get his clout back. Plus an inspiring Big Shot of the Week to a Kentucky teacher with a huge heart, and a fun round “That’s Some BS”, College Football edition!   Special thanks to FACTOR MEALS for sponsoring this week’s show!!

We open the bonus show this week with audio of Stephen Adams - who appeared on a podcast this week and admitted he claimed to not speak English to avoid Kevin Garnett's trash talk. Rob talks about getting into it with KG on the floor but it was actually Charles Barkley who talked the most trash to him. Plus with Nike releasing Michael Jordan's eye-popping earnings from 2023, we ask Rob about missed investment opportunities, and Rob admits he had the chance to get in on the ground floor for Under Armor and Home Depot and missed out! Donovan Mitchell said this week that Stephen A's critique of his game is what motivated him, and Rob had a similar encounter with the legend Dick Vitale. And was Rob ever as unqualified as the Olympic break dancer that went super viral this week? He says his first times on TV were the only times he felt uneasy about doing something in sports. And with Cee Dee Lamb being a friend of Rob's family, we pick his brain about where that young man stands with his holdout, and how Dallas has fumbled this process with a few of its biggest stars. Finally a weird southern moment on the Tennessee Titans broadcast puts Rob's southern vernacular to the test, and we wonder how good will Spaceball 2 be now that it's announced.

We open a huge show this week with Rob having missed all the closing ceremonies, the idea of renting his house out for the Olympics in LA, and how he was taunting us from the front row of a Dodgers game last week. And of course we get into a huge breakdown of Team uSA, who won the gold but not without a lot of drama. Rob sounds off on the leaded audio of LeBron calling out Steve Kerr in the locker room, and agrees that on both the men’s team and women’s team there was a lot of bias from coaches who were playing the players they know. And Rob challenges the idea that only NBA coaches should be coaching Team USA, but if it has to be an NBA coach then it should be someone who doesn’t have any of their own players on the team. Recapping the gold medal game was easy, as we just relive Steph’s amazing daggers against France to bring it home. And amongst all that drama, B-Dog feels like LeBron is still the leader of that team… but Rob says it isn’t enough to be a leader on the floor, it has to count in the locker room too. But it didn’t mean much to Steve Kerr, who was anxious to throw flowers at the GOAT’s feet, even though LeBron was undermining him to the entire team. And we put the wraps on the Olympics by debating who the next group of guys are to pick up the mantle of Team USA. In NBA news, the Christmas Day games were announced – some great, some just okay – and how the NFL is coming for the NBA’s Christmas Day tradition. Giannis feels some sort of way about the Christmas schedule, as the Bucks weren’t included, and Rob is really in “show me” mode with that team now because they are always hurt. Plus Noah Lyles had a week, after he won the gold, then got Covid, then went clubbing, and finally having an article drop about how disrespected he felt to be invited to Anthony Edwards Adidas event. That even spurred the Cheetah, Tyreek Hill, who went from wanting to support him, to wanting to race him and beat him. Preseason football brings us the new kickoff rule, and with the Carolina Panthers plane sliding off the runway, Rob recounts a college plane flight where they all thought they were going to die. Finally the Big Shot of the Week to Magic guard Cole Anthony for giving back to his community, and very funny and odd round of a new game called Bet On Yourself.

We open the bonus show with some of the hilarious Connor Stallions texts to Michigan staffers, just for a laugh, and getting B-Dog to read them with sexy music is all the better! Plus we dive into Snoop Dogg’s format attire at the Olympics, and how Rob owns a LOT of tuxedos and suits, while Jenners doesn’t even own one. And after a French pole vaulter knocked off the crossbar with his junk, we ask Rob about his most embarrassing moments on the court. We also get into the news that Charles Barkley is continuing with Turner beyond them losing the NBA, where we see Deandre Ayton landing if he gets moved from Portland, and the Ice Cube Big3 challenge to the Olympians who win the 3x3 Basketball Event.  And we close with SPOILERS about Deadpool & Wolverine and how much we loved getting to see so many of the characters they rolled out in this film.

We have lots more Team USA Basketball to talk about as we roll into the final week of Olympic play, and Rob is getting tired of Steve Kerr manipulating the starting line-up so much. He feels like you should be able to fine tune your best line-up and go dominate teams and show them you aren’t scared of match-ups. And when you have guys who are respectively the best players on their teams, they need to learn to check their ego and roll with the game plan so we can bring home gold for the USA. We also talk about just how close that 100M men’s race really was, Rob’s thoughts on Devin Booker saying that winning Olympic Gold is easier than winning an NBA title, and how beautiful the new Kobe and Gianna statue is in the pictures and how it hit us personally. Plus Rob sounds off on Draymond Green dressing down high school players for crying about fouls, when all he (and other NBA players) do the same thing on national television every night. And everyone has feelings about Chris Canty saying that LeBron would never command the respect from other pro players that Michael Jordan gets from generations of guys. We give out a big “party in the back” Big Shot of the Week, and play another hilarious round of Shootout.

Right out the gate we jump into Snoop Dogg calling Badminton at the Summer Olympics in Paris, and everyone feels like we need to hear him do a full quarter of a Lakers game! Plus Shaq made some noise this week by trolling Rudy Gobert, and everyone feels like he’s set everyone up to pick on him by performing so poorly after his Defensive Player of the Year award. And everyone on the show loses it with laughter after Frank the Tank’s epic and utter meltdown over the Mets and Sal Licata in the audio of the week! Plus after a Red Sox fans drops a ball over the Green Monster and embarrasses his wife on national television, we talk to Rob about the last time he embarrassed his wife in public… and he says when he got hammered at his birthday party. And we close out with some superhero talk after Deadpool & Wolverine killed it at the box office, because Rob is a little upset by the new Dr. Doom casting announcement.

We open this week’s show on the Summer Olympics, with Rob watching a lot of fencing, volleyball and of course hoops. We immediately dive into the story of the week surrounding Jayson Tatum’s lack of playing time in Game 1, and while Harper thinks it’s a non-story, Rob disagrees because Derrick White got minutes and he’s not even better than Tatum on his own team. And Joel Embiid feels like he’s the most “hated player in the league” and Rob says he’s not even close to that, and the pressure will continue to mount on him until he gets a title to Philadelphia. But Rob does not feel he’s overrated, as some have said this week, but he does feel like we’re all looking past Milwaukee in the East which makes Philly’s road to the Finals that much harder. And none of us like the TNT lawsuit against the NBA, but we also understand why the NBA folded to tech company money over Warner Brothers Discovery’s traditional broadcast money. Plus we touch on Zack LaVine staying in Chicago, the Paul Pierce vs Durant debate that Keyshawn Johnson spawned on Undisputed, and how Durant got into a scrap with everyone on Twitter over that debate. We also dish out an inspiring Big Shot of the Week to the young man who helped save his family during the Oklahoma tornados, and play a hilarious Olympics-themed version of Who’s Bigger!

We tip off the bonus show this week by talking about Kobe’s old locker from Staples Center going up for auction, as it could go for upwards of $1 million. Rob lets us know that Kobe and Shaq actually had TWO lockers because the lockers were small, and Rob says it was Portland that started the trend of bigger fancy lockers and recalls Denver had the fanciest locker room in his day. Plus Rob weighs in on Landon Miller – the son of OSU alumni Braxton Miller – getting offered a scholarship from FAU at 11 years old, and says the extent of his early recruitment was a bus trip to Kentucky for a small school called Cumberland College. The Suns and Celtics will actually have luxury tax bills in 25-26 that are higher than their actually team salary owed, and Rob feels like Boston can swing it but the Suns really can’t. And we are all in shock about the voodoo of Nick Castellanos hitting a home run during every major world event and wonder if this is worse than the Madden curse. And the Audio of the Week comes to us from an apartment resident who hilariously caught a couple having sex in the shared apartment pool!

We’re back in the regular routine this week – and we open the show with some talk about Team USA as the Olympics start this week. LeBron James gets the honor of carrying the flag for the USA during the Opening Ceremonies, and justly so as he’s been the best player on the floor for Team USA so far. And with LeBron and AD playing at this level, Rob tries to figure out why everyone is discounting the Lakers chances… and it all boils down to the surrounding cast of the Lakers. We also get into Evan Mobley’s HUGE deal in Cleveland, and Rob dissects what it’s going to take for that Cleveland line-up to take a step up and improve now that both Mobley and Spida are locked up. Plus Westbrook is on the move to Denver and Rob thinks it’s good fit, and probably his last shot at a title. But Rob wants to see Denver start replacing the talent they’ve lost, and Russ is just one piece to get them back to what they’re missing. Steve Ballmer’s halo board in the new Intuit Arena is AMAZING, but is that enough to lure talent to LA to play with Kawhi and Harden? We also go around on the state of New Jersey have NO CHANCE to steal the 76ers from Philly, how EA College Football 25 broke the bank, and Harper goes on a rant about how this is something every woman should get for his man to earn some brownie points. We discover that Rob loved to play Madden with Dabo Swinney in their college days, and Rob says he used to beat him all the time. There’s also some amazing audio of the week as Lane Kiffin burns Paul Finebaum down on his own show – and we debate how college football’s new conference alignment really screws over so many student athletes. Plus a Big Shot of the Week for a woman who got a sundae named after her at her favorite restaurant, from which we discover that there was a Robert Horry drink to be at PF Chang’s in LA. And it’s the return of Black Crime or White Crime!

We’re running a couple of days late this week, but we makeup for it with a huge show full of great topics! And we start with the post-credits scene from last week’s show, as Kawhi Leonard steps away from the Olympic team and Jaylen Brown gets the snub by Nike. Rob also offers up his opinion on the Bronny James narrative that has dominated the Summer League conversation, and says it’s important to remember that second round guys like Bronny are being evaluated for their potential, not that their current level – but Jenners disagrees, because he’s never have a shot at an NBA roster if his last name wasn’t James. We also debate if Jaylen Brunson leaving money on the table was the right move, because it largely depends on how management in New York handles using that money. And what kind of big could teams like New York and LA lure with the right coaching and situation? Paul Pierce taking credit for LeBron’s “next step” has Rob wondering why any player would take credit for another player’s hard work and talent – and how you can learn from a team of guys, but never just one guy. And how Barkley calling out the league for their new TV deal was spot on, whether John Wall deserves another shot in the league, how slanted Enes Kantor Freedom’s take is on LeBron James, and the destruction of Hard Rock Stadium by COPA America fans has us reminiscing about the craziest crowd we were ever a part of. We close it out with an inspiring Big Shot of the Week, and a truly hilarious round of Rapid Fire!

We open the bonus show this week with a great listener question, about which team made the best move in free agency. Rob says it was definitely Paul George to the Sixers, but B-Dog and Jenners both feel like you can't sleep on Dejounte Murray to the Pelicans. And speaking of the Sixers, with them bringing back the black jerseys from the Iverson days, we talk about our favorite throwback NBA jerseys... and the Magic pinstripes, 90's Hornets and old school Supersonics looks all make our list. Rob thinks this trend of "raw dogging" a flight by doing nothing at all is psychotic, he can't juggle like Wemby after video of him has gone viral, and how much Kevin Bacon hated being "a regular person" as Rob reflects on the few perks he gets from being well known. And with Futurama coming back again this month, we talk about the TV shows that we'd love to see another season of, including The Wire, Boondocks and the Sopranos.

As we approach the start of the Summer Olympics in Paris, we get heavy into the Team USA lineup and how Anthony Edwards has the big confidence going into the games. Rob also brings up the question about whether or not Joel Embiid should be on Team USA considering he's been a US citizen less than two years. Rob says he should NOT be on the team but is probably playing for the US, instead of Cameroon, because it's his best chance to win gold. And we argue extensively about who we believe should make up the starting five for Team USA. Paul George breaks down the circumstances that lead to him leaving the Clippers for Philly, and how disrespected he felt by the offers LA put on the table. Rob also feels like Philly was a better landing spot than Golden State, which is where PG almost landed in a sign-and-trade. Plus Steph finally spoke out about losing Klay, and we all believe that while Klay didn't get a heritage contract, Steph Curry would definitely get that deal to stay. We also ask Rob how disappointed he is in the Lakers free agency moves, and he says the Lakers are fine because no one ever wants to help them. And we debate if the Caleb Martin move is indicative of the Heat's decline, a shout out to Angel Reese for breaking a WNBA record, and a cool Big Shot of the Week to a 4th of July hero. Plus it's the return of Walmart or Waffle House!

We open this week’s bonus show by reflecting on this year’s Bobby Bonilla Day – and talk about some of the other players around MLB, including Max Scherzer and Chris Davis, who are also getting BROKE OFF for not playing for teams around the league. And we’re asked to give an opinion on the Kyle Filipowski story, which Rob thinks teams are using as an excuse for not drafting a player they didn’t think was very good. Noah Vonleh is also all over social media as the Shanghai Sharks booted him from his hotel room, as Rob reflects about the worst experience he had with an employer… and to everyone’s surprise it’s the Lakers. And after Cubs pitcher Justin Steele flipped out in the Chicago Cubs dugout, we ask Rob who gave one of his teams the loudest and angriest talk during or after a game. Plus after the Gladiator trailer dropped we talk about movies and shows that everyone else loves… and our Mount Rushmore of NBA greats that have never won a title.

It’s an ENORMOUS NBA show this week, as free agency and extensions have gone insane! We start with the story that had us confused all weekend, as the Lakers draft Bronny James with the 55th pick… and not because the Lakers drafted him, but because Rich Paul was calling teams telling them “don’t draft Bronny.” We get into the business decision of it all, and how Bronny doesn’t get his “draft moment” on stage, and it might hamper his growth as a player. But Rob is excited to see what he does for the Summer League. Of course we discuss Paul George signing with the Sixers, as people believe that Philly is the one team in the East to compete with Boston, and Rob says that solely rests on the health of those Big 3. We also get into Jayson Tatum’s record breaking deal, with his five-year $315M contract… and when you look at the money, the Celtics roster will be owed upwards of a BILLION dollars. And the Luxury Tax bill is also a record setter! And how about Klay Thompson turning down more money from the Lakers! Rob says he likely feels like Dallas has a better shot to win, and of course there’s no state tax! But was Klay owed a legacy contract from Golden State? Plus Donovan’s Mitchell big extension with the Cavs, KCP’s move to Orlando, Chris Paul to the Spurs, Dejounte Murray teaming with Zion Williamson in New Orleans, and the Nets continue to try and move on from Ben Simmons. And a Big Shot of the Week goes to the Dodgers ball boy who saved Shohei Ohtani’s life on a foul ball!

The bonus show opens with the audio of Udonis Haslem saying the Heat are the biggest threat to the Celtics in the East, and Rob disagrees because he’s overlooking Milwaukee and Philly, as well as the future of Jimmy Butler in Miami. We also take a look at the game-changing amount of money that Stephen A Smith is asking of ESPN, and with Stephen A on the table we discuss his reaction to the Kelly Stafford admission that she dated Matt’s back-up at Georgia – and Rob did the same thing to a teammate! Plus we joke at the “Nuttin But Azz” tournament getting cancelled in New Jersey, the real impact of low prices at sporting events, and a UK cooking host that can’t say “microwave”.

We go big with Robert Horry on the Lakers hiring JJ Redick, who brings no coaching experience to arguably one of the biggest coaching positions in the NBA. Rob has said previously he thought the hire wasn’t the best move for the Lakers, and says he thinks for the Lakers to find any success with this hire is to have some amazing and experienced coaches on his staff. We also debate whether those assistants are putting themselves in line for when JJ fails, how much the podcast with LeBron influenced this hire for the Lakers, and what truth there is to the concept that LeBron and JJ had no discussions about this job before it was offered. Monty Williams getting dismissed from the Pistons with 5 years left on his deal also hits the floor, and how surprised we are that the Lakers didn’t take a look at Monty before hiring JJ. Plus we dive into the Cavs hiring Kenny Atkinson over Borrego, the massive extension for Scottie Barnes in Toronto, the Caruso-Giddey trade being a steal for the Thunder, and all the strangeness headed into Wednesday’s NBA Draft. And somehow the Rockets are being presented as in “win now mode” which we’re not really seeing, and if they have the clout to lure another star to Houston. Finally a really dope Big Shot of the Week to a New Orleans reporter, and a game based on JJ called “First Timers”.

This week’s bonus show opens with a question about Mikal Bridges and his future in Brooklyn, after the Nets have reportedly turned down multiple trade offers that would have landed them a bunch of first round picks. Rob loves Bridges but reminds Brooklyn that they are in a full rebuild at this point and they should take anything they can get to build for the future. Listener questions this week include whether or not the NBA should start showing the introduction of the starting players on TV, and Rob says he didn’t even realize they don’t do it anymore because he used to love seeing them. And do the Lakers NEED to have a head coach by the Draft? Rob says maybe not this season but you always want a coach’s input on the picks you make for the future. We also debate if the New Orleans Pelicans should pay Brandon Ingram his $55 million a season extension, and dive into the wild LEGO theft ring in Rob’s neighborhood in Southern California.

We kick off this week’s show fresh off the Celtics winning the NBA Championship, and Rob says Boston’s coaching and defensive effort is what got it done against Dallas. And despite a dominant season, Rob does NOT believe the Celtics will win it again, as he thinks that bigger teams from the West will break through and match up better against them then Dallas did. As for the Mavericks, Rob thinks this was a “one shining moment” for them, because teams like Denver and Minnesota will be back in the mix and will find a way to get better. We also discuss Jaylen Brown winning the Finals MVP, Doris Burke making history, and Joel Embiid saying that Boston is not the new dynasty in the NBA, because he will get healthy, and so will Milwaukee in the East alone. We also debate who teams like Philly and the Bucks can add to take that leap to eclipse Boston in the East. It’s also starting to look like Klay Thompson will hit free agency (if reports are to be believed) so Rob weighs in on where Klay would be the best fit. Plus with Charles Barkley announcing he’s retiring from television after next season, Rob believes it will change the landscape of sports television, especially NBA, because of his dynamic personality. Audio of the week is from Snoop Dogg who was in the booth for the Brewers and the Reds, and him calling baseball is electric! We also feature some classic audio from NBA history with Ron Artest shooting a huge three in the Lakers-Celtics finals 14 years ago, and a really inspiring Big Shot of the Week from a doctor in Africa. And it’s been 30 years this week since Rob was playing against the Knicks in the NBA Finals when the OJ chase broke out, which leads us to this week’s “Back to the Future” Price is Right game!

We open this week’s bonus show with a quick update on Kristaps Porzingis’s health as the NBA Finals roll on. Plus we get right into listener questions, as people want to know Rob’s thoughts about San Antonio possibly trading for Darius Garland to pair with Victor Wembenyama – and Rob loves that move if it indeed comes together. Scottie Barnes also offers relationship advice to streamers, saying to find a good girl at the Mall?! Who goes to the MALL anymore? We also talk about Father’s Day gifts and what Rob and Jenners prefer to do with that day, proving Jenners is acting way too old for his age. And with Darvin Ham back in Milwaukee on Doc’s staff, we break out the conspiracy theory that he’s getting set up to take Doc’s spot if this season doesn’t pan out. Rob also loved James Harden’s reaction to catching the bouquet at a wedding, and we all speak on the guys we know that will never get married.  Plus the bull named Party Bus that got loose at an Oregon rodeo has Rob reminiscing about how GREAT the rodeos are in Texas, which we had no clue about. Finally, after the woman who lost the speed walking medal for celebrating too early, we ask Rob about times he got caught celebrating too early.

We kick off the week in the midst of the NBA Finals, as Rob is headed to Bogota, Columbia for an NBA Finals viewing party. And we get deep into the first two games of the Finals, with Rob and Rob both nominating Jaylen Brown as the early MVP, and Harper says he’s not surprised by this series so far because Boston doing what they do best by suffocating the Mavericks. And we’re all waiting for either Luka or Kyrie to take over a game or two and extend the series. Rob also weighs in on Shaq’s comments that he wasn’t the best player on the Lakers during their title runs, as he disagrees with the big fella, saying he was both the best and most dominant player on the floor. Dan Hurley also shot down an offer to coach the Lakers this week, leading Rob to reaffirm that JJ is going to be the hire, as he does not think Borrego is a good coach. And Rob feels like Caitlin Clark needs to earn her stripes in the WNBA before expecting a spot on the Olympic team, because as he goes through the roster of all-time greats that are playing, she just doesn’t stack up yet. Plus some more Hall of Fame love from Rob from Rudy Tomjanovich, a really cool Big Shot of the Week, and Rob and Harper square off in a hilarious round of Shootout!

Tracy McGrady says Steph Curry still has not cracked his Top 10 all time, so the debate ensues from the start of the bonus show about where (if at all) he’d fall on our lists. And after Luka got his beer poached in the WCF celebration, we ask Rob what those locker rooms are like after a big win… and Rob says there was NO celebration after winning the Conference Finals when he played, they just went home and started working on the next series. We also have an American Gladiators reboot coming to Prime, so we get into some of our favorite shows from our youth that we think deserve a reboot. Listeners want to know how much of the Olympics Rob will watch this summer, and which sports, plus did Rob ever go the celibacy route like Lenny Kravitz, and a look at Justin Jefferson’s record setting NFL contract has us taking a look at the deficiencies of other NFL teams. And the argument about who the best player in the league is between Jokic, Luka and Giannis.

This episode is sponsored by Better Help. Give online therapy a try at BetterHelp.com/BigShotBob and get on your way to being your best self. Rob opens the show this week with his fatigue over the “who has more rings” debate, and how some of the best players in NBA history never won a ring but are still the best. We also joke about how long the Celtics and Mavericks have to sit around and wait for the NBA Finals to start. Rob says the down time benefits the Celtics as Porzingas gets healthy and hurts the Mavericks who’ve been on a roll. Rob and Jenners pick the Mavericks to win it all, while Harper is still on the fence. And of course we go head first into the raging WNBA debate, which is all about storylines – and how Rob feels like the Caitlin Clark “story” is starting to drag on the other players and frustrate them. Rob agrees with Matt Barnes in the fact that Caitlin’s teammates needs to watch over her, and how Caitlin also needs to learn not to take any grief from other players. And we break down the monstrous fallout from First Take’s WNBA meltdown, and how Rob feels like the media has grown so driven for story that it irritates the players and the league by harping on the same narratives. Rob also feels like the Lakers dragging out the coaching hire means that they’re waiting for JJ Redick to finish his NBA media season before hiring him as the new Lakers head coach. The Audio of the Week comes from the New Black Panther Party’s Brother Quanell X (who Rob knows) breaking down a controversy at a local elementary school, and 85-year-old high school graduate gets Big Shot of the Week, and another classic round of Black Crime or White Crime!

This week’s audio of the week leads off the Shoot Around as a Wheel of Fortune contest went viral for guessing “Right in the Butt” on a toss-up. That spirals us into our all-time favorite viral videos, from “Sum Ting Wong” to the bug-in-the-mouth reporter. We also get Rob’s inside take on the Lakers coaching search and why it’s taking so long to hire a new coach. Plus as Steph Curry and his wife welcome their fourth child, Rob and Jenners share experiences of our kids’ births. It was also wild to see Travis Kelce get booed at the Western Conference Finals, and we find out if Rob is excited for Bad Boys and other films that deserved a sequel. And after Dolphins linebacker Jaelen Phillips found an iguana in his toilet we joke about Rob’s run-ins with wildlife.

Just like we all predicted, we’re on the verge of TWO series sweeps, as the Celtics sweep the Pacers out of the Eastern Conference Finals and punch their ticket to the Finals. Rob has coaching questions about how the Pacers chose not to foul down the line, and how that played out in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals. And with the Gobert mismatch in the WCF, B-Dog wants to know why they are so reluctant to move him to the bench. And Jenners would like everyone to slow down on the whole “best backcourt in NBA history” narrative surrounding Kyrie and Luka, because until they win a ring it’s a pretty invalid conversation. Rob wants to know if the league is freaking out at the possibility of having a solid week off between the end of the conference finals and the start of the Finals. We also reflect on the life of Bill Walton, friend of the show, and weigh in on Rich Paul saying LeBron was a free agent. We also look back on NBA history as just 22 years ago this week we had Robert Horry’s iconic “Big Shot” moment against the Kings, something he still gets chills about to this day. Plus an inspiring Big Shot of the Week and another classic round of Rapid Fire.

We open the bonus show this week with a question on the minds of many Cleveland basketball fans... if you could choose, do you want to keep Darius Garland or Donovan Mitchell? We also debate the theory that an NBA team might draft Bronny as bait to get LeBron, and ask Rob what that would do for his future in the league if it didn't work out. Plus, with Happy Gilmore 2 getting the green light at Netflix, we ask who Adam Sandler should fight now that Bob Barker has passed. And after the Diddy video came out, a listener wants to know who the coolest celebs we've met, and who were the biggest a-holes. Mike Malone was SALTY after the Nuggets got eliminated, we get Rob's walkout song if he could choose one, and we discuss Tyler Hansbrough's newfound love of pickleball, and in turn what sport besides basketball Rob could challenge someone to and win. We close with Jelly Roll, who admitted he only wears a pair of socks ONCE and throws them out, so we ask Rob what his most frivolous celebrity purchase was - Rob's Ferrari, and his blinged out Rolex!

Here we go! Rob and the guys go deep into the Timberwolves pulling out a huge Game 7 victory in Denver, with amazing audio from Anthony Edwards and Karl Anthony-Towns. Rob takes a look at all the things the Wolves did right, how impressive Ant Man is at such a young age, and how that compares to when he felt comfortable in the NBA. And after Dallas eliminated OKC, Rob and B-Dog both think they need to stay young and find some difference makers, as Rob hopes they are able to hold their core together this time and not let them get away like their original Big 3. We also go big on the Eastern Conference Finals, now that the Pacers did away with the Knicks. Rob believes that Boston is just built too well for this series, and breaks down what the Pacers can do to try and hold on against the most well-rested team in the Playoffs. Sam Cassell is in the mix for the Lakers head coaching position and Rob debates whether or not he’d take Sam up on an offer to join the Lakers coaching staff. Plus after the Scottie Scheffler arrest, Rob talks about times he’s had a run-in with the cops. And we break down the Harrison Butker kerfuffle, give out a dope Big Shot of the Week, and round it out with another classic round of Walmart or Waffle House.

Reggie Miller made headlines this week and opens up our bonus show, as we debate who he was taking shots at when he talked about a “Mount Rushmore guy” who points fingers. We also try to figure out why the Knicks fans still hate Reggie 30 years later and where that comes from. A listener asks Rob what has happened to Jrue Holiday (after his lack of scoring the postseason) and after Malik Monk got a Rolex from a teammate we ask Rob what was the best gift he got from a teammate. We also learn that Rob is a really good poker player, and Rob lays down exactly how the Lakers would operate if he were to take the reins. And after Dana White got a FedEx driver fired on accident we find out that Rob might have gotten a waiter fired, plus Pat Bev’s suspension has us talking about how much Rob’s shove of Steve Nash really cost him.

After Rob’s trip to Atlanta last week, we go over the stuff that happened while he was on the road – and how surprised some of us were that Jamal Murray didn’t get suspended for his heat-pad toss. It’s also wild to see the Timberwolves playing with way less effort and enthusiasm with Rudy Gobert in the line-up, proving to Rob and B-Dog that he should not have been Defensive Player of the Year. We also take a quick look at Shaq’s feud with Shannon Sharpe after it got super personal, and how we love the Big Fella but he needs to have thicker skin. The Knicks and Pacers series has been officiated very poorly according to Rob, and he knew it would happen because the Knicks are worn out and the league is doing them a favor. And as all good teams do, the Celtics held the Cavs off and it looks like curtains for Cleveland. Will JJ Redick be the next Lakers coach? Rob says would retire from Spectrum if he was, and compares it (though B-Dog feels unfairly) to Steve Nash’s time as the Nets head coach. Rob says he would definitely take the gig if it were offered to him, but only if he could pick his coaching staff, because he feels like that makes all the difference. Ultimately Ty Lue is the big winner, because he’ll get caught in a bidding war between the Lakers and Clippers. Plus the Hawks win the draft lottery in a year where there is no high profile talent on the board, because that’s Atlanta, we have some amazing audio of the week from Luka’s postgame press conference (where is sounds like someone was watching something dirty), offer up an inspiring Big Shot of the Week, and play another fun round of Shot Clock!

A really fun bonus show kicks off the weekend with the amazing Brady roast – which Tom Brady immediately regretted – Rob tells us the story about getting committed to judging a pregnant bikini contest. And after a member of the Padres AAA affiliate found out he was getting traded while standing on second base, we ask Rob where he was when he found out he got traded to the Suns for Charles Barkley. Plus did a new sandwich cutting style on the Internet change the game forever? Nope, because Rob is a crazy man who does not cut his sandwiches at all. We also talk about the unfortunate case of Lonzo Ball, who just picked up his huge option with the Bulls despite having not played for the last two years. We also nerd out by calling in our four favorite X-Men to save our butts in a fight, and dive into the WILD story about Vladimir Putin stealing Robert Kraft’s Super Bowl ring!

There is SO much to get into on this week’s show – and we start with the Timberwolves, as Minnesota shocks the world by taking the first two games in Denver… but not Robert Horry! Rob aw the flaws in the Denver bench during the Lakers series. And somehow the Timberwolves were better without Rudy Gobert, Trae Young saying Ant Man should have been an Atlanta Hawk, and whether Jamal Murray will get suspended for throwing the heat pad on the floor in Game 2. We throw some love to Josh Hart for his exceptional play as the Knicks take Game 1 against the Pacers, even though Rob is still rolling with the Pacers to win the series. And the Clippers burn Jenners again, as they dip out in the first round to the Mavericks and we deep dive into the money owed to that roster and whether Paul George stays in LA. We also get Rob’s take on Darvin Ham and the Lakers entire coaching staff being shown the door, and even though it’s LeBron’s 6th coach to be let go, Rob doesn’t think it’s a LeBron issue and sees him getting an extension in LA. And everyone has words for Pat Bev after the insane drama of throwing a ball into the stands, insulting a female ESPN reporter because she didn’t subscribe to her podcast, and what this means for his future beyond the NBA. Plus we debate whether the Suns will trade Devin Booker, give out an inspiring Big Shot of the Week to a Buffalo firefighter who saved a dog’s life, and play another classic round of Black Crime or White Crime.

As we look back on the NFL Draft, a listener takes a look at Rob's NBA Draft outfit from 1992 and asks why Rob chose to roll with that tie! And after Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch tore his knee after a sideline collision, we want to know if Rob ever suffered a strange/stupid injury during his playing days. MLB is rolling out their City Connect jerseys for the season, so we also ask Rob about his favorite NBA alternate jerseys, even though those largely didn't come until after he retired. We were all stunned to learn that Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson is going to be a REAL fight, and wonder what will prevail - Tyson's power and experience, or Jake Paul's stamina. And after Stallone and Arnold did their sit down interview, we debate our favorite action heroes of all time. And after Jenners' daughter accidentally watched the new Deadpool trailer, we talk about the things we watched as kids that we knew were inappropriate.

We roll into this week’s show with LeBron flinching on a woman in the front row of the Nuggets-Lakers Game 5, and how Rob felt about the Lakers performance as they were eliminated in the first round. Rob thinks Denver is vulnerable as they prepare to take on the high-powered Timberwolves, and while Rob picks Minnesota to win and advance, B-Dog thinks Denver will show the championship pedigree and find a way to win. Plus we debate about whether LeBron played his final game as a Laker – and while Rob says no, he does think the Lakers move on from Darvin Ham. The wild Suns payroll has our heads spinning as rumors circulate about them moving on from Frank Vogel, and we all discuss how Kyrie and Harden have both been exceptional in the Clippers-Mavericks series. We also get into Joel Embiid’s dirty play against the Knicks, and from there a debate about whether Embiid is a dirty player across his career. And we dive head first into the NFL Draft with a debate about whether the Falcons were wise or stupid to draft Michael Penix Jr after signing Kirk Cousins in the offseason – and amazing Draft audio from Xavier Leggette and Keon Coleman who both set the Internet on fire this week. We close out with Reggie getting his Heisman back, audio of the week from Charles Barkley as he took on the city of Galveston Texas, a Big Shot of the Week to a couple of barbers who saved a young girl’s life, and an eye-opening NBA game called Salary Cap.

The NBA Playoffs always bring back memories for Rob as we kick off this week’s bonus show. We also get into Jim Harbough’s Michigan tattoo, and ask Rob if there was ever a tattoo promise on any team he played for… and he says if the Lakers had gone 16-0 in the playoffs they probably would have gotten a tattoo. We also kick around the anonymous poll of NBA players, where they crowned the most overrated players in the league, topped out by Rudy Gobert, Jordan Poole and Trae Young… and a few others that just seem like players hating on them, like Harden, Randle and Tatum. And Bovada’s random and terrible list of the Top NBA Champions of all time gets Rob all riled up, and the debate rages as Rob defends his teams that didn’t make the list. We also joke that this is the type of draft that will get someone fired, but Rob disagrees because there is so little talent on the board that everyone will earn a pass this year. Plus Jason Kelce lost his Super Bowl ring in a chili scavenger hunt, which spawns the question about the worst thing Rob ever lost, and we gauge everyone’s excitement level now that the new Deadpool and Wolverine trailer has dropped.

We go BIG on the NBA Playoffs this week, especially after Rob had to work the Lakers-Nuggets Game 2 where the Lakers blew a 20-point lead. Rob says Jamal Murray is going to continue to be a problem for the Lakers, as his averages against LA are way up from the regular season, and we all question the game plan down the stretch and how the team mentality changed.  We also break down the wild end to the Knicks game as they go up 2-0 against the 76ers, Zion Williamson’s unfortunately timed hamstring injury, and how good the Clippers looked in Game 1 of their series against the Mavericks. There are also flowers for Dame Lillard and Anthony Edwards, both who went OFF in their individual games, and we especially look into the dominance of Ant-Man in a huge spot. We also get Rob’s thoughts on Anthony Davis saying “the league doesn’t like me” after another Defensive Player of the Year snub, and while Rob thinks he has a point he also thinks the award has been a joke since the they gave it to Marc Gasol. Plus Jontay Porter’s lifetime fine and what it means for the future of sports betting, Caitlin Clark’s run-in with an unintentionally creepy reporter, and the debate about whether Jags GM Trent Baalke farted during a press conference this week! And we close it out with a viral video Big Shot of the Week where good Samaritans saved a man from a burning vehicle in Minnesota, and a fun new game called Tip Drill where Harp and Rob play hot potato with trivia questions.

The bonus show opens with the Allen Iverson statue controversy coming out of Philadelphia, after the Internet turned on the 76ers for unveiling a very small statue for Allen Iverson… but context matters, because every Philly legend has the same small statue outside the practice facility. Plus Kevin Durant talks about staying healthy this season by avoiding “floppers and crash dummies,” guys that Rob used to call “fake hustle” guys. We even dive into how much fun WrestleMania was this year, from guys that are NOT wrestling fans and really enjoyed it. And Rob weighs in on the Scottie Scheffler dilemma, as his wife was pregnant with their first child while he was leading the Masters, and he said he’d walk off the course if his wife went into labor… and Rob says he would leave any event, but Jenners contends that guys don’t have much to contribute during delivery. Plus, after the passing of OJ Simpson last week, Rob recounts what it was like playing in the NBA Finals the night of the OJ Simpson Bronco chase. And we close things out by talking about the 20 instances of guys scoring more than 50 in a game this season, and the final debate about who gets our MVP votes now that the regular season is over.

It’s a full NBA Playoff Preview on this week’s show, and we open things up with Mike Greenberg’s comments about the Lakers “tanking” the play-in game so they can try to get the #8 seed to face OKC instead of taking the #7 seed and facing Denver… and Rob AGREES with him! We debate the merit of playing the tougher teams early instead of late, and dive deep into all the play-in games and first round matchups. Rob says that the Thunder are young, but they are NOT ready, and thinks the 8 seed in the West will  have a legit shot to knock them out in the first round. And Rob and B-Dog debate the merit of Rudy Gobert in the playoffs, how entertaining the Clippers-Mavericks series will be, and what will happen to the Bucks without Giannis in the opening round. We also throw some props to Victor Wembanyama and take an eye-opening look at Caitlin Clark’s rookie deal with the WNBA. Plus some amazing audio from Boban’s missed free throw that won Clippers fans free chicken, and a fun new game called “Imposter” where Rob and B have to sniff out the NBA player that does not belong in the category.

We are loaded for the bonus show this week, and we start with former Warriors GM Bob Myers who somehow couldn’t find the leak of the Draymond Green vs Jordan Poole fight. Even though the team keeps track of everyone in and out of practice, Rob thinks it must have been hacked or buried on purpose. We also dive into some listener questions about whether the Bucks are regretting their hire of Doc Rivers, what has happened to the once great sports city of Oakland now that the A’s are going to Sacramento for a few seasons, what would happen to the Bulls if Billy Donovan takes the Kentucky. Rob also weighs in on last week’s bad look for the Dodgers, after the way they handled the young woman who caught Shohei Ohtani’s first home run in LA and they all but threatened her to give up the ball for far less than it was worth. And after the New York earthquake last week, Rob and the crew reflect on some of the wildest natural disasters that we’ve lived through.

We’re a day late this week because Rob had to have a colonoscopy, which leads to some weird and funny observations about going to the doctor. We also ask Rob if he thinks the Lakers have turned their back on Darvin Ham, and Rob says seeing guys walk out of the huddle is very normal in the NBA because guys know the play that the coach is drawing up. Props go out to UConn for bringing home their second straight National Championship – and specifically to Rob’s friend Dawn Staley for leading South Carolina to a women’s title and completing the unbeaten season. We also feature some of Dawn Staley’s post game audio, as she had a class move in recognizing Caitlin Clark. And we all contemplate if  the buzz from the women’s tournament will carry over to the WNBA this season. Rob also talks about how much the “one-and-done” killing the storylines in the men’s game, and we all think that Bronny James declaring for the Draft is more of a portal move, and he’ll likely stay in college but move to a new program. Plus we debate whether Paul Pierce is drinking again on TV, thinking the Lakers would trade LeBron for Spida – but we do wonder what the Cavs are going to do with Donovan Mitchell… could he work in San Antonio with Wemby? A cool Big Shot of the Week gets us into some eclipse talk, and it’s a History Making Edition of the High/Low game!

We open up the bonus show this week by looking at the sale of Kobe's championship ring at auction, which set a record, and Jenners did not realize that they gave every winner two rings for winning a title. And a listener question asks if the Lakers need a third star this offseason and Rob jokes that if the guys, they have plays to their potential they won't need one. We also throw some love to Isaiah Thomas for getting another 10-day with the Suns, debate whether Jokic should be okay to sit out as opposed to playing through small injuries, and joke about the squatters that are apparently ruining LeBron's neighborhood in Beverly Hills. Rob also weighs in on "foul hunters" and disagrees that Jalen Brunson falls into that group. but agrees that there are other guys that do.

Rob was in the building to see Alabama knock off North Carolina and advance to the Final Four, and the crew talks about the DJ Burns phenomenon at NC State, the Iowa-LSU game on the women’s side, and Zach Edey’s controversial comments after Purdue advanced to the Final Four. We also get into the LeBron James comments that his career is reaching its end, largely because that wasn’t breaking news, but Rob looks at it from the perspective of a former player who was worn down from the mental and physical grind of playing in the league. Jenners also has to eat some crow after Anthony Davis has reached 70 games started, and we play some audio of the funniest April Fool’s prank on an unassuming mom! Plus Joel Embiid’s possible return this week could be a turning point for the Sixers, what Draymond Green has done to the Warriors dynasty, and Paul George’s future in LA or elsewhere. We also give out one of the best Big Shots of the Week we’ve heard in ages, and Rob and B-Dog face off in another classic round of Black Crime or White Crime!

Rob wants to know how B-Dog treats his beard as we open the bonus show this week. We also take a minute to recognize Opening Day as the national holiday it deserves to be, and we ask Rob how important it really is for players to play in a city they love as we reflect on the failure of the Nets to attract star players. Plus Rob reminds Mike Greenberg and everyone listening that NO college team at level could even attempt to compete with pro teams. And Kendrick Perkins saying he’d ride with Brunson over all other point guards spurs a debate about what point guard we would want to run with into the postseason. Paul Pierce also brings a debate to the show as he said that Steph’s influence on the NBA was greater than Jordan or Magic’s. And we close it out with a Start-Bench-Cut between Draymond, Pat Bev and Bobby Portis.

Rob is going to see Alabama take on North Carolina in the Sweet Sixteen in LA this week, as Rob hopes to see his Tide avenge his last college basketball loss which came at the hands of UNC. Plus the tournament talk launches us into a debate about the merits of the transfer portal, in both basketball and football, and how bad the NCAA has been about regulation. And even though Kentucky continues to be a relevant brand, Harper wants to know how long it will be before they move on from John Calipari. We also dive deep in to the Western Conference standings, and how the Warriors need to keep an eye on the Rockets regardless of how Draymond Green seems to feel. And Boston’s disappointing performance against the Hawks (blowing a 30 point lead) didn’t really change anyone’s opinion that the Celtics are the team to beat in the East. There’s also some hilarious audio from Bol Bol, who accused the refs of “d*** riding” for Victor Wembanyama and doesn’t even catch a tech! And with Houston being on a hot streak, Jenners is surprised by the story that the Rockets tried to move him to the Nets for Mikal Bridges. The Big Shot of the Week goes to Travis Hunter who bought his mom a “nice ass house” – followed by a debate about how many bathrooms a house SHOULD have! And we close it out with a classic round of Shootout!

Lots of great topics in this week’s bonus show, including Jalen Rose saying the #23 should be retired across the NBA in honor of Michael Jordan… and Rob and B-Dog strongly disagree on this one. We also have a debate about the players with the highest peaks in their careers, which leads to even more disagreement amongst the group. Plus Steph Curry made headlines this week by saying he might want to run for President one day and everyone has input about who could be his running mate and why politics is a bad move for popular athletes. Draymond Green thinks Victor Wembenyama is already a Top 20 payer in the league, which leads Rob and B-Dog to discuss how San Antonio can make the most of him while they have him. We close out with the Evan Fournier fine, which Rob says is normal as soon as an object is hurled into the stands, and after Paul Pierce was robbed this week, Rob shares his story about being burgled.

Robert Horry opens the show this week by talking about his dislike for coffee, the cool special needs event he was privileged to attend this week, and the upcoming interview he has with his son Christian now that he’s committed to UCLA. We also talk about the Jalen Johnson dunk on Austin Reaves, and the dunk of the year, as Anthony Edwards postered John Collins in epic fashion this week. That spins into a conversation about Ant Man’s upside, what Rob expects to see from him in the coming years, and how good the Pelicans have been now that Zion Williamson has returned to his #1 pick form. And as we discuss how Stephen A Smith had to walk-back his take on Zion, we also get into Mad Dog Russo’s ridiculous take that Jokic is better than Shaq, and how mainstream sports media leans so heavily on gimmicks. Kyrie Irving’s WILD game winner over the weekend puts us back in a positive mindset when it comes to Kyrie, largely because the off-court noise has been at a minimum since he arrived in Dallas. We also address one of the big questions of the week – is DeMar DeRozan a Hall of Famer? Rob says yes, B-Dog says no, and the HOF conversation spins out from there. Plus bracket talk, the Kevin Harlan audio of the week, the hilarious jersey swap of the year, a cool Big Shot of the Week from Jalen Hurts, and Rob balls out in a round of Rapid Fire!

In this week’s bonus show, we address the typos on the Kobe statue outside of Cyrpto, which leads us into a conversation about words we simply cannot spell. Plus Ty Lue said this week that Jalen Green and Cam Whitmore in Houston remind him of when Vince Carter and Tracey McGrady arrived in Toronto, and while Rob loves them he wishes they were more consistent. Rob would love to see Isaiah Thomas get another shot in the league because the game has finally evolved to his strong suits. We also dive into the greatest “What Ifs” in NBA history – from Jordan getting drafted by Portland, Derrick Rose and Penny staying healthy, and just how good the Celtics would have been if Len Bias would have made it to the league. And Rob thinks the Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul fight is a glorified publicity stunt, and we ask if his son gets the $2500 per month allowance that Larsa Pippen’s daughter receives.

Robert Horry celebrates his son Christian’s team, Harvard Westlake, celebrating their second straight State Championship – as Chris gets ready to transition to UCLA this fall and get involved in the college program. On the NBA front we get into the perception of the Lakers “deep bench” as it’s touted by the media, and how the Lakers have flashes of greatness at times then drop games they should absolutely win. Plus with Jayson Tatum’s rough week, we argue if that takes him out of MVP contention, and who realistically deserves to win it at this point in the year, with SGA, Luka and of course Jokic in the conversation. And after Rudy Gobert caught a $100K fine for flashing the money sign at the refs, we wonder why there has been such a lack of consistency with fines among players and coaches this year. Brian Windhorst also gets whipped by everyone on the show for saying Allen Iverson’s shots “wouldn’t fly” in today’s NBA, we debate KG’s remarks about how the NBA botched LeBron’s 40K point milestone, the huge LSU-South Carolina debate in the women’s SEC Championship, and even kick around some of the craziness from this week’s NBA free agency. A 5-year-old basketball coach gets the Big Shot of the Week, and we put our tiny brains to the test against fifth grade cognition riddles that none of us can solve!

We open the bonus show with how excited we are for March Madness, and get Rob’s memories of playing in the tournament and what it was like compared to the NBA Playoffs. And after Jimmy Butler spoke about “Playoff Jimmy” being the best player in the postseason, we get into a conversation about the guys who were always at their best when the Playoffs hit. After the Celtics boat-raced the Warriors and beat them by 52, we talk to Rob about the worst loss he ever took. Plus listeners questions range from why guys get so upset a winning team takes shots at the end of the game when the game is already decided, to the dumbest things we got caught doing as a kid after teenagers broke into the Intuit Dome this week. And following Jason Kelce’s emotional retirement speech, we ask Rob if he’s ever had to make a big speech… and did he actually officially retire from the NBA? We close it out with Chris Paul, who said he thinks he’ll win a title before his career is over, we debate whether or not that will actually happen.

We’re joined by YouTube creator Clayton Crowley, who put out the video last week about Rob as “The Greatest Role Player in NBA History”, as it was really well done. This video has since popped off on YouTube, and Clayton talks why he made it, why he loves hoops, and why he chose to put the spotlight on Rob’s career. We also joke about stories that Clayton uncovered about Rob, how Tim Duncan used to tease him, and how none of our moms approved of our choices. Clayton sticks around for the rest of the show, as we dive into LeBron eclipsing the 40,000 point mark, why Caitlyn Clark would go to the WNBA over the NIL money she’ll get in college, Darvin Ham’s future with the Lakers and our individual MVP candidates. Plus Rob pulled some click bait headlines this week, we offer up a really great Big Shot of the Week to the cops who saved an autistic girl from a Florida swamp, and play a hilarious round of Walmart or Waffle House with Clayton!

So how many people got married on Leap Day yesterday? Rob thinks it’s a masterful move so you only have to celebrate your anniversary once every four years! Plus lots more NBA stuff, including audio of Draymond Green and his disappointment about Ant Man goofing off in the All-Star Game, but Rob’s point is that everyone goofed off in the All-Star Game. That also spins us into a discussion about the young faces of the league going forward. We also have a laugh about Shaq’s memories of Dennis Rodman saying he smelled like “Garbage Truck Water” – and Rob says that Shaq actually left something out… not only would he not shower after games, but he’d work out too. Plus our listener questions for the week include whether Kevin Durant finish his career in Phoenix, the way Durant handled a loud-mouthed fan, and MLB’s new see-through uniform pants.  And the audio of the week is hands down Kenyon Martin DESTROYING George Karl on Gilbert’s show, wow!

Rob’s YouTube tribute from a fan kicks things off this week, and it’s really well done even though Rob doesn’t know the guy who put it together. And of course we get right into Monty Williams killing the refs after the end of the Pistons-Knicks game, and we all discuss just how big of an issue the bad calls and questionable refereeing has been this season. Rob feels like there are too many new rules in the NBA for these refs to keep up with and it causes more problems than it should. We also take a look at the Heat-Pelicans fight, as Jimmy set the fuse and that whole game fell apart at the end. And LeBron had the media sideways this week after telling the media to “back off” Bronny and let him be a kid, even though he was the one who posted on social media that Bronny could play in the league right now. That also spirals into a conversation about the expectations that the children of pro athletes have to face as they try to make their own way, something Rob has to deal with in regards to his son Christian. Court storming is also a lightning rod of the week after Kyle Filipowski got hurt when Wake Forest fans stormed the court, and Rob wishes it wasn’t a thing, while we disagree because it’s a true sports tradition. And another one of Stephen A’s rants about Zion’s weight catches a stray from Stephon Marbury and Rob has thoughts. Plus the new Clippers logo feels too “high-brow” for the NBA, a really cool Big Shot of the Week to the NY Transit Authority Police, and another fun game about real businesses and fake businesses called “The Next Big Thing”.

Somehow the bonus show kicks off with a discussion about Girl Scout Cookies and which ones torture us more than others. Plus Jenners has a list of NBA stars that have scored the most points without logging any assists, and while Kobe was on this list, Rob says he never had that issue with Kobe because Kobe was always looking for him. Also, listener questions this week include the Bucks terrible record under Doc Rivers (and how long he can last if it continues), has Rob ever been postered by a signature dunker, and who agrees with Barkley that Kevin Durant is a follower and not a leader. And we close things out with our most recent show recommendations, including Stranger Things, You and the newest installment of True Detective.

We open up this week with the news that Rob’s son Christian is committed to UCLA! Rob is thrilled because it’s where he wanted to play and it’s a great school, even though there’s an allure to play at USC because his mom’s and alumni and Bronny is there. Plus everyone piles on the All-Star Game after a very poor showing by the NBA’s best players – after no one tried, they tossed up ridiculous three-point shots, and Rob says the only solution is to scrap the game entirely and do something new. And Rob wants to see more of the women’s players involved in the All-Star festivities because it will keep the weekend in the spirit of fun and inclusion. LeBron to the Warriors was the story of the week that wasn’t actually a story, as Rob says he doesn’t see any road where LeBron actually leaves LA before he retires. And Rob’s best friend Ty Lue saying he wants to kick the refs earned him a $35K fine, along with the Nets dismissing Jaques Vaughn as Brooklyn remains in purgatory. The Big Shot of the Week goes to a South Bend police officer who saved a dog who had its snout zip-tied shut, and a hilarious round of Black Crime or White Crime during Black History Month!

We tip off the Shoot Around this week by looking at the Obi Toppin dunk fail against the Knicks, which spins us into a conversation about how we fail trying to show off… and it always seems involve trying to impress a girl. Rob is asked who is to blame for the Duncan Robinson-Jaylen Brown fight over the weekend, because it got ugly quickly, and Rob thinks it was a freak accident but didn’t like the angle of how Robinson’s arm went back. We also get listener questions about when we are willing to admit the Warriors dynasty is over, what cities are the best to host events like this weekend’s NBA All-Star game, break-up protocol after Marcus Jordan and Larsa Pippen have apparently split, and how excited we are for the Deadpool & Wolverine movie.

It’s a huge Super Bowl after show for the guys, as we talk about Beyonce, Patrick Mahomes, and a huge debate breaks out about the definition of a “dynasty” in sports. Plus B-Dog believes Patrick Mahomes is the greatest quarterback of all-time after that win, which the Robs don’t agree with due to his young age, but everyone does agree that Usher killed it at the halftime show performance. And we laugh at the fact that neither team understood the new overtime rules, and B-Dog has a bone to pick with Kyle Shannahan. Oh yeah, and we actually talk basketball on the show, as Rob does NOT like the addition of Spencer Dinwiddie to the Lakers because he can’t figure out how they’re going to use him. We also jump into some of the bigger splash moves from the trade deadline, the buzz about Trae Young’s future in Atlanta, and how much Rob enjoyed the unveiling of the Kobe statue and where the three statues will go. The LA Fire Department gets our Big Shot of the Week for a daring river rescue, and with Valentine’s Day this week we play a game called “Heart Broken” about the biggest losses sports fans have ever suffered.

We open the bonus show this week by looking at the players that have already been eliminated from season awards due to the new rules. And Rob uses the opportunity of Embiid’s injury to make a case for Jayson Tatum, while B-Dog throws his support behind Anthony Edwards. LeBron also gave a bunch of advice for the “younger generation” and Rob says  he’s offered the same advice before also – and adds that staying in college with NIL is better than the G-League, and also learn to interact with the media. Another listener question brings up a debate about coaches (like Doc Rivers) that shouldn’t get another shot to coach, and within that question we debate the value of “coaching trees”.  Rob also regrets not taking a free Super Bowl ticket after finding out the walk-in price for a ticket, and we close with the Kentucky player who kisses the Tennessee player in the middle of an on-court skirmish.

Rob is getting hammered with rain in Southern California and is afraid of having to dodge falling rocks and mudslides in the unprecedented Cali weather. Plus Rob weighs in on the loss of Vanderbilt for the Lakers, and how their bench seems to find ways to step up on nights when LeBron and AD are out of the starting lineup. And Rob has some laughs about LeBron raising everyone’s eyebrows with the Knicks towel and social media shenanigans this week. The loss of Joel Embiid will clearly hurt Philly, but Rob thinks they are going to take a big step back because of their upcoming schedule. We also dive into the fact that we’ve been sleeping on the Cavaliers, why Rob turned down a FREE ticket to the Super Bowl, and why he hasn’t capitalized on knowing Usher’s manager to both bet on the Halftime Show and also get him on this podcast. A really inspiring Big Shot of the Week all the way from the UK, and we see if Rob and B-Dog can remember where iconic NBA superstars ended their careers.

Rob and Rob were both featured in "Gone Before His Time: Kobe Bryant" as we reflect on four years since we lost Kobe, Gianna and seven souls in that terrible accident. We discuss an article about the lessons learned in life and basketball from Kobe - including how to stay on a team and still win, hard work winning over talent, and how everyone wants to embrace "the Mamba Mentality" even in the smallest of areas. Kevin Durant said he didn't want a tribute video in his return to Brooklyn, so we discuss where he (and others) DO deserve one. Big Chris asks Rob, would you rather win a bunch of titles for one team, or would you rather win a title with every different team you play for? Rob wants the dynasty of winning in multiple cities. Plus Snoop's Top 5 active players, what moves Rob wants to see by the deadline whether its Dejounte Murray or Kyle Lowry, and why Rob is irrationally terrified of small private planes.

Rob and the crew are back, and immediately try to figure out why the Bucks fired Adrian Griffin and why they chose to retread Doc Rivers as their next head coach – and Rob thinks that there was more happening behind the scenes than anyone knows. And after Luka hung 73 on the Hawks, we go deep on the lack of NBA defense over the last decade, with some stats that are eye opening for NBA fans. Plus we talk to Georgia Tech basketball head coach and NBA legend Damon Stoudamire, who lays out stories about playing against Rob, the guys he used to hate facing in the league, the state of today’s game, and what drew him back to college basketball. And like almost every NBA star we have on the show, he can name every player drafted ahead of him! Of course we jump into the wild NFL playoff weekend, hand out an inspiring Big Shot of the Week, and wrap things up with a little round of NBA high/low!

We open the Shoot Around this week by diving into the Kelly Stafford drama coming out of the Lions-Rams game a couple of weeks ago, as she claims her children were booed by Lions fans... and Rob says he had that talk with his kids a long time ago because it's part of his profession. We also answer a listener question about how much we talk to ourselves, and we both confess that we do so more in the car than anywhere else. Jay Gruden vs RGIII brings up the topic of Rob's long standing beefs, our final meals if we were on death row, and how long the hot water lasts in our house after the story about the Chiefs claiming the Bills turned off their hot water.

Rob and Rob open the show this week by talking about Joel Embiid going off for 70 points, and KAT putting up 62 in a losing effort and becoming an afterthought. We’re also joined by an NBA legend in Dominique Wilkins who talks about the state of the Hawks, the reality of seeing your statue outside the arena you played in, the evolution of the NBA game today and specifically the lack of defense. Nique also jokes with Rob about the days they used to face off, how he feels like all the guys who made the 75th team should be in the GOAT conversation, guys who shoot too many threes and the games he used to cook Robert Horry! Rob also talks about the trade rumors around Dejounte Murray and how that affects the way he plays. Plus we get into the NFL Playoffs, recapping a wild division round weekend, the Bills kicker, Jason Kelce stealing the spotlight from Taylor Swift and who we think plays for a Super Bowl. The post-game presser uncovers that Rob lived in a college dorm that DIDN’T allow girls, a dilemma about a teammate’s girlfriend being promiscuous, Victor Wenbanyama’s bedtime and movies they’ve made too many of.

It’s the weekly bonus show, and we open with a question about our favorite songs, and as that’s a tough one to answer we talk about our favorite artists and the moods that call for them. We also dive into a list of the statistically best players in the league, bringing up a huge debate about how guys are graded and ranked as compared to how they are actually producing on the floor. Rob also weighs in on Wizards guard Ryan Rollins who got caught stealing candles, food and body wash from Target – and it prompts the question, have you ever been caught stealing? Plus the most disappointing player on every roster gets us deep into debate, especially around Jrue Holiday’s inclusion on this list. And Rudy Gobert airballing free throws and getting mocked by Westbrook and the Clippers, leads us to wonder if Rob ever struggled with free throws.

Rob’s son Christian had a huge weekend tournament but missed his “Big Shot” moment, with a smile on his face he joked about it with the media. We also jump right into the Nick Saban retirement news with Alabama alumni Robert Horry, who says he was shocked to see the legend move on. And every coach that got a raise due to the threat of becoming Saban’s replacement owes Nick a bottle of champagne! Plus we get Rob’s take on Austin Reeves being a possible trade option for Dejounte Murray, a move he’s not that excited about. And we haven’t had a better rant than Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic, who called out the NBA referees for “a complete crap” of a game against the Lakers, and enjoyed the hell out of Mike Brown bringing highlights to the post-game presser. Dwyane Wade’s state going up in Miami prompts a conversation about other superstars that deserve a statue that hasn’t gotten one yet. And the conversation about Bill Belichick leaving New England poses the question about whether he was only great because of Tom Brady. Big Shot of the Week goes to an amazing couple feeding the Austin, Texas community, and we close it out with a hilarious round of Rapid Fire!

It’s a huge round of Buy or Sell on the clickbait headlines of the week – including how Rob feels about Joel Embiid’s scoring prowess, LeBron no longer being a Top 10 player, the Clippers winning a title, Luca’s game, the end of the Warrior dynasty, Chet’s Rookie of the Year campaign and Donovan Mitchell wanting out of Cleveland. We also answer listener questions about Pat Bev advocating for more old school trash talk in the NBA, and Rob says never felt baited by trash talk because it was such a common element of the game when he played. Lamar Odom is also pushing for the Lakers to implement the triangle offense, and even though Rob played in that system in LA, he says it takes special players to buy into that format and have it work. And we close it up with old school movies that hold up today, and the man who skinny dipped in a Bass Pro Shops fish tank prompts us to discuss stores that we just don’t get.

Rob opens the show with genuine surprise that the Lakers beat the Clippers, which launches the entire show into a debate about the current status of the Lakers. Plus where do Rob and B-Dog fall in on the criticism surrounding Davin Ham, the Lakers trying to make moves at the deadline, and George Karl blaming AD for the Lakers’ shortcomings this season. And with Draymond Green making his return to the floor, Jenners and B-Dog both lay into him over his retirement sob story to Adam Silver, because this is very much a situation of his own making. B-Dog covers the Hawks for our station in Atlanta and says it’s about to be a fire sale, with the exception of Trae Young and Jalen Johnson Jr. We also send some congratulations to our buddy Shaq for having his jersey retired in Orlando, give up another Big Shot of the Week to Mark Cuban for bonusing all his employees, and Rob and B-Dog square up in another classic round of Shot Clock.

We celebrated the Detroit Pistons snapping their record-setting 29-game losing streak, by discussing things we are not very good at or just never win at… and the front runners are Monopoly, Madden and Fantasy Football. Plus Draymond Green made headlines for attending LeBron’s birthday party – but does it matter that he’s currently suspended? This also leads Rob to talk about the celebrities that threw the best birthday parties, and he shares a story about crashing Vin Diesel’s birthday party in Miami. And ESPN is in trouble for airing a woman flashing her boobs during a shot from Bourbon Street during the Sugar Bowl, so Rob shares his experience at Mardi Gras and talks about other events he wants to attend in his lifetime. And with Jokic saying he wants to be left alone and become “unknown” when his career is over because he hates the attention, we ask Rob if he can relate or has any stories about being baited by the public. Finally Rob has not heard of the Gypsy Rose Blanchard story, which blows everyone’s mind, and we talk about New Year’s Resolutions we set and then end up dodging as we start 2024.

We’re back for a big 2024!! Rob spent the New Year in Portland, watching his son battle in a tournament, and of course both Rob and B-Dog on the woes of the Lakers line-up. Plus Rob weighs in on the Lakers possibly making a move for Dejounte Murray out of Atlanta, but isn’t sure the Lakers are willing to part with the players and picks needed to get him. We also take a look at the standings as we hit the 2024 half of the season, including how good the Thunder have been and what setbacks the All-Star packed Suns have faced. And we never miss an opportunity to pick on Rob after the Alabama Crimson Tide lost the College Football Playoff in terrible fashion… even though Georgia showed the country they were clearly the best team in the country and should have been playing in these games. Plus Ja’s “gunshot” celebration, the MVP ladder that is shockingly missing Anthony Edwards, an inspiring Big Shot of the Week from England, and a hilarious edition of Walmart or Waffle House!

We open the show this week with Ja Morant’s return to the NBA. Rob is really happy to see him back and we all loved the cinematic ending to win the game in his first game back, but the Grizzlies have a mountain to climb in the West. Plus, does the Spurs horrible record affect Wemby’s shot at Rookie of the Year? Especially considering how good Chet Holmgren has been playing as the Thunder continue to roll in the West. And of course we get deep into Draymond’s latest suspension, which screams of a much bigger problem for the Warriors. Rob thinks he will need to address his “on-court aggression” otherwise he may end up hurting his team and it will become a reflection on Steve Kerr’s coaching. Speaking of coaching, we also try to figure out why Ime Udoka is pouring fuel on the Dillon Brooks fire in Houston as opposed to finding a way to grab the reigns and teach this young team the right way to play. B-Dog also has a mixed reaction to the Lakers hanging an In-Season Tournament banner, as everyone believes that it’s nice to celebrate but feels “less than” every other banner in the rafters in Los Angeles. And with all the media buzz around Ant Man saying he wants to “cook LeBron”, Rob feels that is the right attitude to have, and he shouldn’t be dragged for wanting to face off against the best player on the floor. We also give our predictions for the College Football Playoff and who we think will be playing for a title when we return from the break. Shaquille O’Neal gets our Big Shot of the Week for FILLING a gym with gifts for Atlanta kids in need. And we round it out with a hilarious Christmas-themed edition of Black Crime or White Crime. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

After the Chiefs lost on one of the penalties of the season, Rob and Rob talk about the penalties in pro sports that bother us. Plus, how long can Monty Williams hang on in Detroit after losing NINETEEN games in a row in Detroit? And after Shohei Ohtani signed with the Dodgers, we discuss the biggest trades and signings that our teams have ever made. Jenners was in Miami when the Shaq trade went down, and Rob says Shaq and others were trying to recruit him to the Heat and chose not to go! Finally, what thing have you never been able to get into that other people love? And adversely what thing do you love that other people don't get. New shows every Tuesday and Friday!

Rob was in the building in Vegas as the Lakers won the NBA in-season tournament and AD was a BEAST in the win. Rob also informs us that the Lakers plan to hang a banner for the In-Season Tournament and we CANNOT believe it! We’re also stoked to see Bronny finally hit the court with some confidence after a scary situation with his heart, and Rob has an earnest conversation about Zion Williamson’s weight and how it can affect his health down the line after seeing him up close in Vegas. Tyrese Haliburton can also name all the players drafted ahead of him and so can Robert Horry! Plus Rob doesn’t agree with the Shohei Ohtani contract deferment, largely because he would NEVER do it. We give out a really cool Big Shot of the Week, and close out the show with a funny round of “Loaded Questions” – which include Rob’s favorite breakfast, why Rob hates cleaning bathrooms, everyone’s porn name, and jumping wolf spiders.

Odds on Draymond’s next NBA altercation in the league, and we bet heavy on front runners Dillon Brooks and Pat Bev. And speaking of Pat Bev, we talk about the video of his “biggest fan” who had every one of his jerseys, and get Rob to talk about some of his biggest super fans over the years. Plus Rob is asked why he’s so big on Mikal Bridges, and Rob says it’s because Mikal reminds him of the work ethic that he had back in the day. Jenners also brings in the Crime of the Week, where a woman is on the run after stealing a van filled with 10,000 Krispey Kreme Donuts. Rob also talks about how much he flopped back in the day, how much Vlade Divac flopped in his day, and Rob likes the idea of trying to cut that out of the game.  Plus a huge debate about what current players belong in the Hall of Fame, to the point where B-Dog wants the throw the entire topic out!

It’s straight College Football madness as we start this week’s show – including a huge debate about WHO should have made it into the College Football Playoff, where Rob is with his on-again-off-again Alabama fanhood, and who we think wins the National Championship. Plus Rob weighs in on the Ime Udoka-LeBron James fight on the court, saying the ref was really to blame in this controversy because these guys talk to each other like that all the time. We also discuss Marc Cuban selling control of the Mavericks, discuss if the Warriors are really in trouble this season, and Rob has a big pep talk for Tyrese Haliburton after he said he was “tired of being a loser” this week. Plus we are getting closer to Ja Morant’s return, we joke about more James Harden excuses, and give out a huge Big Shot of the Week to Michigan’s Blake Corum for supporting his community with his NIL money. And we close it out with another classic game called “Betting on Yourself” that doesn’t work out too well for B-Dog.

We kick off Shoot Around this week with some early season predictions for the All-Star team and how we like the matchups. Plus Rob looks at Wemby’s performances as they are holding up to expectations, and Chet Holmgren is showing out! And with $1 MILLION on the line… do you want Steph from the free throw line, or Ravens kicker Justin Tucker to hit a 40-yard field goal? Listeners of the show want to know if Rob thinks the Bulls should have moved on from Billy Donovan? He says it HAS to be the coaching staff, because on paper the line-up looks like it should be able to win more games. Jrue Holiday also pops into the Bucks locker room before a game and Rob says that is NOT allowed, it’s a respect thing and about protecting the team’s game plan and comradery. Finally, we find out how good Rob is with the most common 2023 slang terms that his teenage son is using, by trying to figure out what these words actually mean in “old people” terms! New shows every Tuesday and Friday, everywhere you get podcasts and full video on our YouTube channel.

We kick off this week’s show joking about Ludacris descending out of the rafters here in Atlanta, and recapping everyone’s Thanksgiving break. Plus the Lakers get blown out by the Sixers and Rob feels like everyone always finds their best games against LA, and the Bucks huge comeback against the Blazers has Rob thinking back on the biggest comeback wins he was a part of in his career. And the debate fires up over Anthony Davis being accused of flopping, as its something we’ve never heard about AD, but we have heard about Bills QB Josh Allen. We also try to figure out Pop’s motivation when he grabbed the PA mic and told the Spurs fans to stop booing Kawhi Leonard.  We also get into a huge debate about the College Football Playoff and the madness that’s coming this weekend, who gets in and who’s left out, the insane ending of the Alabama-Auburn game, and the dying hype on Deion Sanders at Colorado. We also toss a Big Shot of the Week to Kyle Kuzma, and play a classic round of Shootout!

It’s just the Robs this week as B-Dog travels for Thanksgiving, so we start off with what Rob thought about the ending of World’s Toughest Test. We also get Rob’s take on the Draymond suspension, as he feels like this was more a ‘lifetime achievement award’ instead of a response to the incident from last week. That spins us off into a conversation about Rob’s fights and suspensions, and how his coaches used to handle those situations. Plus Rob doesn’t think it’s fair for Jeanie Buss to get dragged on social media for saying “Lakers fans don’t know how to be patient” because LA has built a franchise around winning titles over the last 40 years. Rob also tries to figure out why Zach LaVine is so unhappy in Chicago and what it would take for him to land with the Lakers. Rob also praises Russell Westbrook for wanting to come off the bench to try and help the Clippers win games, we lament the Jordan Travis injury as FSU tries to hold on to a Playoff spot, and Rob and Rob disagree about the winner of the coming Michigan-Ohio State game. A Big Shot of the Week goes to Snoop Dogg for his viral marketing stunt, somehow we got media coverage on Rob’s wife and her non-existent OnlyFans account, and a hilarious Thanksgiving-themed round of Black Crime or White Crime!!

A conversation about Joe Smith and his wife’s private OnlyFans launches us into a hilarious conversation about what would happen if we found out our wives had secret OnlyFans accounts. And Rob takes the entire thing off the rails as we dive into the depths of strange things we see on the web. We also discuss Mike Malone’s extension in Denver and what makes for a good coach when you have supreme talent. And Rob and B-Dog try to guess the top 10 highest graded players in the league so far this season. Plus sports media personalities that we love to hate, and Rob reacts to Lou Williams saying the Clippers took their foot off the gas in the bubble because they heard rumblings that no one would respect that title.

Rob’s fantasy football team is dying at the hands of the Buffalo Bills as we open this week’s show. Plus we play the full James Harden rant from Brian Demaris on the Mavericks broadcast, and Rob thinks the roster that looks good on paper might blow up in Ty Lue’s face. And we all seem to think that Steve Ballmer is trying to sell tickets to the new arena instead of worrying about putting a winning roster together. We also dive into the wild Kelly Oubre hit-and-run story, and Rob has big love for Tyrese Maxey and the play of Tobias Harris. The Hawks OnlyFans promo caught Rob’s eye, and the eye of their star players, but all for good fun on social media… and after hearing what people are making on the site, Rob wants to know what it takes to open his own account. And Rob’s phone continues to blow up as the Rockets are playing well, after he said they wouldn’t win 30 games this season. Plus advice to Aaron Rodgers to NOT come back and play this season, Rob dances on the grave of Jimbo Fisher after his firing from Texas A&M, and we break down the Jim Harbough suspension and potential College Football Playoff. A really inspiring Big Shot of the Week to an Army veteran, and another hilarious round of Rapid Fire.

We start Shoot Around this week with a quote from Draymond Green saying that the chemistry on the Warriors this year is WAY better than last year, which to us feels like yet another shot at Jordan Poole – and Rob shares stories about playing on teams with bad chemistry. Plus James Harden’s comments about being on a leash in Philly get Rob on a stand about being a system guy and not trying to continue to BE the system. Rob weighs in on the top-ranked “two way” guys in the league today and talks about the best guys he won championships with. And everyone drops in on the internet-wide debate about the woman who argued that she was allowed to recline her seat regardless of how the woman behind her felt. Plus a cop calls sports radio in the middle of pulling someone over to crap on the Cowboys brings up a discussion about what teams we hate the most. And we close out the show by talking about the legacy of Bobby Knight, and the meanest coaches that Rob ever had.

Rob opens the show with a story about how he went to the Travis Scott show, and was pissed that Travis didn’t perform “Antidote” because he wanted to hear is his name mentioned in the song! Also Jenners is extremely confused about the function and format of the in-season tournament, Rob thinks the floors are a little too much for some teams, and Harper wonders if players will hang their hat on being an “in season tournament champion”. We also dive in on the Lakers, who have been playing about .500 basketball so far this season, and Rob feels like they should have a better record than they do, especially with Anthony Davis playing up to the odds that he might win Defensive Player of the Year. Of course we have to follow the media hype and talk about Wemby’s performance so far this season, and how maybe the narrative around him has grown too much as MJ and LeBron are brought into the conversation. We also dish out a fun Big Shot of the Week to the deputy that responded to a 911 call because a young child wanted a hug, and round out the show with another hilarious round of Black Crime or White Crime!

The College Football penalty of the week opens the show, as Colorado State got a 15-yard penalty for throwing snowballs at Air Force. Rob jokes that it hasn’t been Colorado’s week, as the Buffalos shared online that they got robbed at the UCLA game, and Rob shares stories about getting robbed over the years. Plus the Kelly Stafford versus Blueface feud launches a conversation about how fans can and should behave at pro sporting events, we discuss the very public slow death of boxing, and what sport’s championship is the most fun to watch even when you don’t have a rooting interest. Plus with Magic Johnson officially crossing into “billionaire” status we all joke about what we’d do if we had a billion dollars, and a moral question about winning a lot of money closes out the show with some big laughs.

It’s Halloween and Rob comes to the show with a really cool LED mask, and we open the show with Flavor Flav’s rendition of the National Anthem from this week’s Bucks-Hawks game. Plus Rob gives us a full breakdown of the Harden move to the Clippers, and while he loves all the guys on the floor he’s unsure about how they will be able to share that basketball. We also all feel like the Sixers got the better end of this deal and got a lot better.  Rob also sounds off on LeBron defending Anthony Davis, saying he needs AD to play better and more consistently so LeBron doesn’t have to defend him after games. Jim Harbough also gets the business from Rob and the crew over the sign stealing controversy, Rob spirals into an SEC debate, and Rob’s friend Dabo Swinney goes OFF on a Clemson caller and sets off an argument about how coaches should respond to fans. We also hand out a really dope Big Shot of the Week, and in honor of Russell Wilson renting out a Waffle House for Ciara’s birthday, we play a Halloween edition of Walmart or Waffle House.

When you have the opportunity to play with not one, but TWO of your sons in the NBA… can LeBron hang on long enough to make that a reality? Rob would love to see it but thinks he just plays too hard to go that long. Plus with the Taylor Swift and Brittney Mahomes handshake went viral, we want to know if Rob ever had a handshake with other NBA players. And the funniest story of the week was the Rock’s wax figure that looked nothing like the Rock – which prompts Rob to break out the bobbleheads he has that look nothing like him either, including one that looks more like Chris Brown than Robert Horry. We also joke about Marc Davis’s terrible dancing after the Las Vegas Aces won their second WNBA title, how we would survive World War 3 if the world collapsed, and a hilarious kids book written by Big Shot listeners about lessons we’ve learned from NBA players!

It’s OPENING NIGHT for the NBA!! And Rob is not working, so he gets to hang back and watch the Lakers attempt to stop the Nuggets on ring night, and how Golden State (especially Klay) come out and play against the new-look Phoenix Suns. And there will be nothing better than James Harden skipping Sixers practice all week, not showing up for preseason, then rolling in to Opening Night on Thursday in Milwaukee and dropping 40… which we all think could happen! Plus as the season tips off we really take a look at Wemby’s game and how we are all now starting to buy the hype and understanding the buzz around him going into the Draft. Rob also weighs in on what he expects from Russell Westbrook this season after setting a high bar for himself, and what will it take for the Clippers to build a fan base that can carry them through not just this season but into a new arena. And we take a look at the extension that Giannis just signed, what it means for his future in Milwaukee and the kind of deal he might be waiting for. We also debate whether the Patriots should fire the legend Bill Belichick after a very rough start to their season, an inspiring Big Shot of the Week, and a fun round of Halloween shenanigans called “You Scared Bro?”

Our second show of the week opens with gamer talk, what Rob is playing at the moment and how hard it has become to carve out gaming time as we get older. We also dive into Aaron Rodgers making a return to Jets camp and walking around without crutches only FIVE weeks after he tore his Achilles. It leads us into a wild conversation about injuries Rob suffered, and shared a story about how someone tore his EYELID during a basketball game?! We also get into some heart talk, send some love to Shaq and AI for their new deals at Reebok, and pictures that we’ll always cherish and never forget. Everyone gives their picks for Most Improved Player of the coming season, as the odds have hit for that, and we close it out with college football and an assessment of the Deion Sanders hype now that Colorado is losing.

We open show 135 with Rob continuing to deny that his nudge got Dez Bryant kicked off of World’s Toughest Test. We’ll never let him live it down. And while we aren’t thrilled about starting the show with Dillon Brooks, it’s clear to everyone that he’s trying way too hard to make a name for himself, even though Rob says he didn’t think that shot to the groin was intentional. We also get some early impressions of Dame and Giannis on the floor together, as Rob is anxious to see how it comes together in a full game, because every marriage is good for the first five or six months. Jason Tatum’s top five scorers comes up for debate amongst the show – he listed KD, Booker, Kyrie and Paul George as his Top 5 – and of course everyone wants to weigh in with players that he missed. We also break down the top players by position, debate whether Tim Duncan is a 4 or a 5, and try to figure out what centers are left in the NBA today. And will Klay Thompson head to free agency? The Big Shot of the Week goes to Floyd “Money” Mayweather for helping Israeli citizens in the middle of a terrible war. And we close out the show with a round of Shot Clock, and replay last week’s NBA Emoji Game since last week’s show was somehow eaten by the internet.

We’re back for the Friday bonus show! And as the season closes in, we open with Rob and B-Dog trying to guess the most expensive NBA payrolls going into the year. And there are some surprises in the Top 10! Listeners want to know from Rob what it’s like getting a season started, and Rob talks about going into camp for the Rockets, the Lakers and the Spurs and how the experiences were all so different. Plus after Will Ferrell DJ’d a frat party before USC and Arizona last weekend, we talk about what celebrities we’d love to hang out with. One question that raises good debate was sent in from Twitter – who would you rather start a team and build around, Jokic or Giannis? And with a new Exorcist movie in theaters, and Halloween in full swing, we ask Rob about his favorite scary movies.

We open the show by talking about Rob bowing out on World’s Toughest Test, why it happened, and what kind of prep goes into doing a physical show like that. Plus Rob jokes about reality shows that we WOULD do, and Jenners could not do shows like Amazing Race and Rob reveals that him and Rick Fox got an offer to compete on that show and couldn’t do it since Rick isn’t an American citizen.  And we discuss how much stock Rob puts into the preseason and what he looks for from a squad that’s coming together. And it’s our full season preview as we discuss what we think will happen in the West, who wins the East, Rookie of the Year and who wins it all. Plus some unexpected Dwight Howard lobbying by both Rob and B-Dog, and Rob in convinced that AD could win MFP this season.

Rob takes us behind the scenes of World’s Toughest Test and how it really goes down when the cameras are off, after he got Dez Bryant bounced from the show this past week. And with the passing of both Rob and Jenners fathers, we share some of our favorite family drama stories. Plus after Draymond Green got called an “expensive backpack” by Jordan Poole we joke about the worst insults we’ve ever received, and a listener question wants Rob’s take on the new Star Wars shows. We also talk about the top rated NBA duos as voted by fans and debate whether James Harden even plays a single game for the 76ers this season. And finally did we sell out too fast on Tua in Miami? And who is Rob rooting for in the MLB playoffs?

We are back from a short break, after Rob got caught up doing media for World’s Toughest Test and Jenners lost his dad… and we immediately get onto Rob about nudging Dez Bryant into the challenge that got him kicked off the show. Plus Rob takes us behind the scenes of the show and how some of those impossible challenges really came into play. Rob also thinks that Dame to the Bucks could become scary for the East if he can play off the ball a bit more, and he also believes that the new “Big 3” in Boston can work really well for Boston. Plus “Emo” Jimmy Butler gets some laughs during NBA Media Days, and Rob has praise for Anthony Davis after stating he wants to play in all 82 games. We also touch on some of the college football madness from the last week, offer up a special Big Shot of the Week, and play another classic round of Rapid Fire.

We are a little late this week because Rob has been out doing press for “World’s Toughest Test” which debuts Monday night on Fox! Rob gives us a preview of what to expect and talks about just how brutal the conditions were. Plus we try to figure out what happens with both James Harden and Dame Lillard, since both seem to be stuck in a trade standstill with their respective teams. Rob also says that the Bucks DO indeed need to sign Jrue Holiday to keep Giannis because they won’t be able to afford a rebuild. And of course the definition of a “star” comes into debate, and how many “superstars” are really in the league. The curse of Big Shot Bob plagues Alabama as they slip to 13 and we wonder what is happening with NicK Saban’s quarterback acumen. We close out with some AMAZING audio of the week from a witness that saw the vanished F-35 zip by, give out an inspiring Big Shot of the Week to a couple of firefighters, and another great round of Black Crime or White Crime.

After the wild fallout from Noah Lyles “World Champs” comments, we hear how it felt to him to have the entire NBA come for him, including Drake who he tells to go home! NBA 2K24 gets our tin foil hats on as they have commentary from the game with Dame Lillard already in Miami, we find out Rob only plays as HIMSELF in 2K, and Rob and B-Dog see if they can guess the top-rated 2K24 players by their game ranking. We also recall our biggest brain farts after the Marlins ball boy picked up a Freddie Freeman double and threw it into the stands.  We also close out with some listener questions about sacrifices, the upcoming Olympic team and a weird debate about what pop culture character we would choose to protect us. Get into the mix on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and more @bigshotbobpod!

We briefly open the show by recapping this week’s feud with Gilbert Arenas, who we collectively have nothing but love for, so Rob apologizes if his “idiot” comment upset him. Plus Rob and B-Dog are frustrated that Team USA didn’t even medal at the FIBA World Cup and how immediately after we had LeBron, KD, Steph and a bunch of other guys step up to lead the Olympic team. And no matter how well Dillon Brooks played on the international stage he still can’t dodge the jokes about being a villain. We also get Rob’s take on the NBA’s load management plan for the coming season, and we take bets on what teams will get fined first for resting players in national games. And with the news that Chris Paul might be starting in Golden State, and Anthony Davis wanting to play more power forward, reinforces Rob’s idea that the NBA is becoming position-less basketball. Rob also denounces his allegiance to the University of Alabama because the University has not recruited his son Christian and he feels he deserves it as a legacy. We also try to digest the Aaron Rodgers injury four snaps into the season, which is heartbreaking, and we swing it back with an inspiring Big Shot of the Week. And in honor of Jenners getting cooked by Gilbert Arenas this week, our game is called “Starter Pack”.

Rob opens the Shoot Around this week talking about the Atlanta Braves, as he did not realize until just recently how good that team really is. We also ask Rob who his favorite player was when he was growing up, and he says Magic Johnson, and recalls getting the opportunity to play against him. We also put on our tin foil hats for the LeBron in Saudi Arabia, but Rob just thinks he’s catching a bag by helping with that camp, not entertaining offers for a rival NBA. Shedeur Sanders is ready to break the bank with NIL money which fires us into a huge discussion about conference realignment in college football. Plus Rob weighs in on the Dillon Brooks ejection, Kanye West getting banned in Venice for getting dirty on a tour boat, the insane diarrhea incident aboard an Atlanta flight this week, and hilarious audio of Washington deputies barking like dogs to try and get some car theft suspects to surrender.

We open the show this week with a recap of the WILD College Football weekend – especially after Rob’s good friend Dabo Swinney lost big to Duke! Plus Deion Sanders took 1-11 Buffalo on the road to knock off TCU, and we all want to see if we can do that again against another team. Rob also weighs in on Team USA’s loss to Lithuania and how he doesn’t think it will really affect them down the line, and how most of these guys likely won’t see the Olympic team next summer. Rob spent a week in China for the NBA and talks about some of the outreach he gets to do on the league’s behalf, even though he doesn’t do much in the way of sightseeing anymore. We also dive in on the Eric Lewis “retirement” announcement this week after the big burner phone investigation, and Rob doesn’t understand why these NBA refs don’t have thicker skin. Congrats go out to Jeanie Buss after she married Jay Mohr over the weekend, which leads Rob to take a probe into B-Dog’s dating life. Plus a shoutout to the Nebraska women’s volleyball team, a dope Big Shot of the Week – and we close the show with a round of Buy or Sell – as we all buy or sell things like Aaron Rodgers on the NY Jets, Lionel Messi, Jake Paul’s shot at a heavyweight title, FSU in the College Football playoff, Shaq the rapper and much more!

We open our bonus show this week by talking about Nikola Jokic dancing at Serbian night club and whether or not we like to dance at a club – erupting a HUGE debate about the Electric Slide! Plus Gorilla Nems wrote some music for the New York Knicks, as the team has used “Bing Bong” all season long after hitting threes, and he is NOT happy with the Knicks for hooking him up with decent seats for the games. And does the USC fan who bought tickets behind the new press box with only 2% field view have the worst seats ever in college football? We all discuss the worst seats we’ve ever had, and a huge debate about who’s the better scorer, Kevin Durant or Carmello Anthony. Aliens in Peru also fire up a conversation about what athletes are so good we believe they’re aliens, and our favorite seasonal fast food items!

As we kick off Labor Day Weekend, we get a full recap of Rob’s Birthday party – where he claims he did about 30 shots and no one believes him! Rob also talks about Brandon Ingram’s frustration with Team USA and sparks a great conversation about how stars handle not getting minutes or finding a groove. Plus Noah Lyles brought down the fury of the sports world with his take about “World Champions” in the NBA, and the debate rages on this show much like it has on other shows. We give an early Big Shot of the Week to the young man who hit the walk off HR at the Little League World Series – and everyone hopes he goes on to outshine that one huge moment. And we try to find the motive behind Giannis saying he might not sign in Milwaukee, and take a look at Kobe statue night in LA, which will be the most expensive ticket of the season… and who still deserves a statue outside of Crypto? And with College Football kicking off we put Rob and B-Dog to the test on obscure college mascots!

Steph Curry said he was the best point guard ever this week, so we open the show with Rob’s opinion that he is NOT because Isiah Thomas has to be in that conversation simply from a defensive perspective. We also put on our tin foil hats for the Heat-Blazers match-up that the NBA scheduled for two days after the trade deadline, which we all agree is just a very smart marketing move. Stan Van Gundy also brings a great debate to the show by saying he’s rather have Dwight Howard’s career over that of Anthony Davis, and Rob and B-Dog both side with Stan in picking Dwight over AD. Plus people who can’t get cancelled, a look at the career of Lou Williams and whether the Sixth Man of the Year award should be named for him, and TV shows we love that people are missing out on.

We open this show with Rob in the thick of Tropical Storm Hillary and the earthquake that shook him from his birthday hangover. And while talking about parties, the rumors about Joel Embiid’s wedding guests heat up the conversation about his future in Philly – but Rob feels like he’s not going anywhere. We’re also joined by legendary NBA photographer Andy Bernstein, who has chronicled SO many of the league’s most iconic moments. Andy shares stories about how he got started in sports photography, being clobbered by Shaq during the Western Conference Finals, capturing that candid Jordan moment when he was crying over the Larry O’Brien trophy, and some of the best moments he has been able to capture in NBA history. Plus, after Giannis said he’d play for Saudi Arabia for the right amount of money, we wonder if they would even contemplate starting a rival NBA. And if Marcus Jordan and Larsa Pippen get married, Larsa would become Michael Jordan’s DAUGHTER-IN-LAW, which blows our minds when thinking about the family dynamic. Our Big Shot of the Week goes to the Florida lifeguards who formed a human chain to save a swimmer, and another hilarious round of Shot Clock!

We open the show this week by discussing Rob's relationship with Spurs fans - and Rob jokes that they saw him as a Laker spy and only celebrated him for that one big shot in the Finals. Rob doesn't really believe that Lonzo Ball's shoes were the root cause of his injury, but sometimes guys are just doomed with injuries that they can't overcome. He also jokes that in his day in the NBA, you NEVER wore another guy's shoes. We also discuss what moments in sports would have broken the Internet before social media was such a big thing - and moments that come up are Magic's announcement, Malice in the Palace, and Mike Tyson biting Evander's ear! Rob also recaps getting dragged to the Taylor Swift concert and not running into a single celebrity. And in light of the Wander Franco story, listeners want to know if Rob ever got in trouble for girls DMing him on social media. Plus with Peyton Manning teaching a class at Tennessee we discuss the classes we think we could teach and the ones we wish were taught during our school days.

We open this week’s show with James Harden in China, as he started a media war this week with Sixers President Daryl Morey. So how do the Sixers move forward with this situation? Rob says the easy answer is for the Sixers to fire Daryl Morey, but everyone feels that sets a dangerous precedent for players going forward. Rob is also in awe about how much star players change teams, and how some teams that think they have a legit shot at a title just run into the wrong team at the wrong time, then change teams to try again. And while looking back at the strife the Sixers, we wonder when Joel Embiid might come knocking and asking for a trade. We all love the Lakers-Nuggets rematch going down on opening night in Denver… on Ring Night for the Nuggets! Plus everyone has an opinion about Kevin Garnett saying Durant and LeBron need to learn to play off the ball more and spot up more. With Pau Gasol going into the Hall of Fame, we play some of his tribute to Kobe Bryant, including the story of how he was welcomed in after the Lakers trade, and ask Rob about how different his experiences were joining new teams. The Big Shot of the Week goes to Floyd Money Mayweather for everything he’s doing to help the people of Hawaii, and Rob and B-Dog face off in a hilarious round of Rapid Fire.

We’re back for the second show of the week, and we’re both ready to lay our money on Mark Zuckerburg in the highly publicized fight against Elon Musk – but Rob thinks that Elon will continue to make excuses to get out of the fight. And the bigger loss of the week came from Drake, who bet $250K on Nate Diaz to beat Jake Paul, so we all discuss the biggest bets (for money or with friends) that we ever lost. Rudy Gobert said this week that after hitting his first three that he “feels like he lost his virginity”, which walks us into a conversation about our favorite first-time experiences. And everyone has jokes for the guy who went to the wrong Taylor Swift concert with his wife, largely because Rob’s wife is dragging him to Taylor Swift this week, and Rob shares a story about how he screwed up bad when he was younger trying to impress a woman. Plus listener questions want to know who our favorite fictional character crushes were, and Rob has to answer for being a pop-a-shot ringer!

We open a huge show this week with news of Anthony Davis signing his three-year extension with the Lakers – and while we all knew it was coming, Rob thinks he can contend for MVP this season if he stays healthy because he’s just as good a Jokic! And as Rob runs down all the reasons that he’s just as good – if not better – than all the big men across the NBA, we start taking bets on how many games Anthony Davis plays this season… and Rob contends that he was NOT in shape last season and if he comes in ready he can play 65-70 games. Plus if the Lakers target Christian Wood as recent rumors would suggest, Rob lays out what it would take for him to be successful on that Lakers roster. And can Gabe Vincent steal D’Angelo Russell’s starting job? Rob doesn’t see it happening for a number of reasons. On the heels of Scoot Henderson’s claim that he’ll be Rookie of the Year, Rob disagrees and says that Cam Whitmore will actually win it. And when Gilbert Arenas calls out Team USA, Rob finally addresses the things Gilbert said about his career. We all loved the old-school baseball fight between Tim Anderson and Jose Ramirez this week, with AMAZING audio from Guardians radio announcer Tom Hamilton. And with Kevin Brown’s suspension from the Orioles broadcast crew, has Rob ever been critical of the Lakers and got a call – and he did! Finally the Alabama ferry boat fight that has gone super viral leads us into a hilarious round of Black Crime or White Crime!!

The Shoot Around kicks off this week with more Paul Pierce, as he is currently on the show “Stars on Mars” and recounted the Instagram live incident that cost him his job at ESPN. So the question was, did you ever have to babysit a drunk friend? Rob has stories. Dr. J’s Top 10 also comes up for debate, as he left Steph, LeBron and Kobe off his list for strange reasons. Plus Bleacher Report’s most overrated NBA players gets Rob HOT, as both DeMar DeRozan and Kawhi Leonard hit the list, and everyone agrees that Sabonis should not be in this conversation. Listener want to know, after the passing of Paul Reubens, what weird TV shows we loved as a kid, and how the WNBA can capture the magic of the Women’s World Cup.

Robert Horry is finally able to reveal his secret on-location recording, as he will premier on “Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test” on Fox this September! Rob also shares that around the same time he was filming this show that his father passed away, and shares some memories and experiences he got to share with his dad over the years. We also discuss Jeanie Buss saying the Lakers will “definitely” retire LeBron’s number in LA, and whether or not he has earned enough Lakers-cred to warrant that honor. And if they retire his jersey, do they build him a statue?? Rob also discusses the Lakers weakest link and how Rui was NOT it, plus Dame’s warning from NBA is not a good sign for Dame landing in Miami. Plus no one on the show thinks Jimmy Butler can demand Jaylen Brown money, simply due to his age and the Heat’s financial situation. And on the heels of that we take a look ahead to the supermax deals coming due in the next two years, and who ends up being worth that paycheck. Rob and Kendrick Perkins both now share the honor of being ejected from an AAU basketball game, we send some well wishes to Bronny who is on the mend, hand out a really dope Big Shot of the Week, and tackle true news versus fake news in a round of Jump Ball.

We are loaded up for the bonus show this week, with lots of leftover topics we didn’t get to on the Tuesday show. We start with Draymond talking about what led to the infamous punch of Jordan Poole, whose dad flips out on Twitter and says Draymond never apologized. Rob thinks Draymond was wrong regardless but doesn’t owe Jordan’s dad an apology. Austin Reeves has very high praise for Anthony Davis, but Rob is mad at Austin Reeves for bailing on him for this year’s Clayton Kershaw ping pong tournament! We also discuss the Hall of Fame 2023 class, and how James Harden missed Joel Embiid’s wedding… so would Rob be upset if he invited his teammates and someone didn’t show up? A bird pooped on Viktor Hovland during the British Open, which prompts Rob to tell a story about a time when a bird pooped on him during a basketball tournament in Puerto Rico. Plus the story about the woman who purchased The Game’s old storage unit, as we wonder what would we find in Rob’s old storage unit. Finally Richard Jefferson running up Channing Frye’s credit card on Draft night gets Rob into stories about being hazed as a rookie.

We open the show this week with disappointment, as Rob lost a Los Angeles area Emmy to the Dodgers, after being nominated for his work with the Lakers. We’re also joined by writer Scoop Jackson, who talks about coming up in the NBA about the same time as Robert Horry – as Scoop started writing for Slam right after Rob got his first title in Houston. We also joke about Scoop being a Knicks fan, as Scoop says they won’t win anything until James Dolan is gone. Since we’ve all had the experience of seeing sports from behind-the-scenes, we discuss the awe of professional athletes that turned us into sports fans as young kids. Scoop shares his experience about meeting Dr. J as a young reporter and how an autographed basketball had his friends swooning over him. Plus, Rob and Scoop both have a LOT to say about Paul Pierce’s declaration that he’s better than Dwyane Wade, with Scoop saying that Paul would have to win with half a Shaq to really match Wade. We also get an incredible story from Scoop about Dwyane Wade in the 2006 NBA Finals, where Wade was sick in Games 1 and 2 and never told anyone, but told Scoop he was going to take over in Game 3 – which he sure did. We also break down Jaylen Brown’s supermax extension, as Scoop says the Celtics need to win a title, and these huge contracts are like anchors on the back end of these huge deals. There’s also some talk on Bronny’s cardiac arrest, a Big Shot of the Week for an Indiana construction worker, and Scoop hangs out for a test of his southern knowledge in a round of Walmart or Waffle House.

We open up the Shoot Around this week with the meme that has gone viral, of Robert Horry’s career earnings and seven rings, up against James Harden’s payday having won NO rings. Which career would you rather have, rings or huge paydays? We also answer listener questions about Phillip Rivers welcoming his 10th child, whether Doc Rivers deserves another coaching job in the NBA, and Steph Curry’s hole-in-one leads to a discussion about sports feats we’d love to accomplish in an ideal world. Plus a debate from a listener about all-you-can-eat buffets, the young Wimbledon winner leads us to our favorite underdog stories in sports, and with a possible Shohei Ohtani trade we discuss current players in sports that should NEVER be traded.

NBA writer and reporter Mark Medina joins the show this week, and immediately out’s Rob for schooling young kids at pop-a-shot. Mark just spent a couple weeks in Vegas for NBA Summer League, and bring us a first-hand account of Victor Wembanyama’s game and how cool the Sphere is on the Vegas strip. We also try to figure out how much time LeBron actually has left in the league after announcing his return, and Mark says after years of covering the Lakers he has learned not to bet against LeBron. Plus Rob, Mark and B-Dog debate how the Lakers starting five will shake out with free agency changes they’ve made this summer, and how James Harden will react if he is not traded out of Philadelphia. There is also a large debate about Paul Pierce’s comments that the Miami Heat wouldn’t make it out of the first round if they traded for Damian Lillard. Plus a cool Big Shot of the Week, a discussion about Horry County South Carolina, and Mark Medina jumps in for a hilarious round of Playing the Percentages.

We answer a lot of listener questions in this week’s Shoot Around – including things Rob would have loved to do in today’s NBA versus back in his day, paranormal experiences, and Rob’s travel recommendations for people going overseas. Also watching Elly de la Cruz steal home base last week prompts a fun conversation about the most electric players we’ve ever watched, and Rob brings up a lot of guys we never thought about. And we discuss LaMarcus Aldridge’s enormous new tattoo, plus Dennis Rodman’s huge face tattoo, and discuss who or what we would get tattooed on our body. Plus… is Scooby Doo actually a superhero? And if you had to rep a current NBA player and wear their jersey, who would you pick?

Robert Horry made an appearance at NBA Con in Las Vegas this past weekend, and got to see first hand how big Summer League has gotten with the new sphere on the strip. Summer League has also brought #1 pick Victor Wembanyama into the spotlight as people blew his debut out of proportion, while Rob feels like all these guys deal with early NBA jitters. Wemby was also the center of an incident involving Britney Spears – who exercised poor fan etiquette – and Rob talks about how people should approach players or celebrities that they want to meet. Rob also talks about Pop’s extension in San Antonio, and jokes that he waited to see if they got Wemby before signing. We also discuss how the Grant Williams deal in Dallas is great for Grant and the Kyrie-Luka experiment, and when Ben Simmons gets a vote of confidence from Nets GM Sean Marks it leads to a debate about who is the “Street Clothes Captain”. Kiyan Anthony has some high praise for Paul George, and so does B-Dog, but Rob and Jenners don’t buy the hype. We also give out a Big Shot of the Week to a TikToker that turned a struggling author into a best seller, and we play an always highly-contested round of Shot Clock!

Lots of listener questions in this week’s Shoot Around… including one big one. Did Rob actually contribute to the NBA Championships that he won? Rob defends his performances in the NBA postseason by saying it’s not all about your stat line and says the people that don’t think he contributed likely never watched him play. After Gary Payton’s appearance on last week’s Shoot Around, we revisit whether Seattle should get an NBA team back since that talking point all but vanished in recent years. Plus in light of the Zuckerberg-Musk fight, we ask Rob what NBA players he would like to see fight, and Rob says he’d love to throw down with Danny Ainge. And after Domingo German’s perfect game we discuss some of the best single-player performances we’ve ever watched, and both Rob and Jenners have different nominations. We also joke about how Larsa Pippen’s OnlyFans account has suffered since she started dating Marcus Jordan, and what would it take for our wives to have to take down their OnlyFans accounts. Finally we close with two important questions… has Robert Horry ever been fired from a job? And between Steph, LeBron and KD, who would Rob start, bench and cut?

Robert Horry is BACK and we are all spinning from the NBA free agency moves that have hit the last few days. We start with July 4th traditions, and how Rob used to celebrate in his playing days because this was one of the few holidays that players could relax and enjoy. And when it comes to Dame Lillard wanting a trade out of Portland, Rob feels like he may have succumb to peer pressure and feels he needs to restructure his contract in order to land with a contender. We also debate whether a player hurts his trade value by saying where he wants to go instead of just playing it quiet behind the scenes. Rob also says that the Lakers free agency moves felt like they replaced the pieces they already had with almost the same exact players and treated them like new additions. Plus Rob does not seem to mind the contract extension for Kyrie Irving in Dallas because he wants the Mavericks to run the Luka-Kyrie experiment back for at least a year before bailing on it. Fred VanVleet also gets a big payday in Houston that Rob doesn’t really understand, but we all agree that Minnesota extending Anthony Edwards is the right move for the Timberwolves. Add in some massive layoffs at ESPN, Draymond’s beer-chug failure on the golf course, no one knows where James Harden will go, and whether or not LeBron would bail to play with Bronny. A very cool Big Shot of the Week goes to White Castle, and we test Rob and B-Dog’s patriotism with a round of questions from the U.S. Citizenship Test!

We shoot around this week with NBA legend Gary Payton, as he and Rob cut it up about their rivalry from back in the Seattle and Houston days. Rob and Gary also both agree that guys today have grown too close with their AAU relationship, how Gary developed his affinity for trash talk, who gave him his nickname “The Glove”. Rob also admits that Gary had the coolest shoe ever designed and how guys around the league could NEVER wear another player’s shoes! A great reunion between two NBA legends.

Robert Horry is disconnected from the world as he films a TV show on the other side of the world, so we bring in a couple of long time friends and listeners – Caleb Lamoreau and Jason Jenkins – to sit in with Jenners and B-Dog this week. We all sound off on our reactions to the Chris Paul trade to the Warriors, and whether he’ll be able to fit into the starting lineup or have to adjust to coming off the bench. Plus more conjecture about whether Draymond Green will end up in Portland or stay in Golden State, and what he have left to prove in the NBA at this point in his career. We also jump into our NBA Draft takeaways, and wonder if Wenby’s built for long-term health after going #1 to the Spurs. And of course some quick discussion of the bigger moves this week involving Marcus Smart going to Memphis, and John Collins finally getting moved from Atlanta. Everyone on the panel jumps in for some Quick Shots, including if we like Brittney Mahomes, Shark Attack victims the go fishing, whether or not we’re sick of Conor McGregor, and who will win the Mark Zuckerberg vs Elon Musk fight! Big Shot of the Week to a Las Vegas firefighter and all the guys compete to see what Robert Horry would rather do, from superhero powers to who he cuts between AD and LeBron.

Rob comes to us this week from across the world as he films a new secret project, and sure enough his luggage got lost somewhere in Australia. We also dive into questions from listeners, the first one asking Rob about Tracy McGrady and Vince Carter being left off the NBA’s Top 75 list and how much he respected their games when they played against each other. Plus Rob wonders if Dame will end up ring-chasing at the end of his career, the best advice Rob ever got from a coach, we got behind the scenes of Rob’s NBA Draft experience back in 1992, and what team Rob would want to own if he could buy a pro sports team.

Robert Horry comes to us live on location from a secret project he’s filming, but Rob thinks the Denver Nuggets are putting a HUGE target on their back by taunting the Lakers and other teams around the league. Rob is also not surprised that Jokic had fun at the parade, and says that getting a response out of LeBron will cause problems for Denver throughout the entire league. Ja Morant’s 25-game suspension comes up for debate, with everyone feeling like there are points to be made on both sides of the argument, but Rob feels like it will take four to five years for Ja Morant get himself back into the MVP conversation. And after the Bradley Beal move to Phoenix, Rob feels like it might not work because the Suns will have no money to acquire a bench to back up their stars. Plus we discuss the rumor of Jaylen Brown signing a super-max deal in Boston, Dame’s desire to stay in Portland, Draymond Green testing free agency, Zion moving on from New Orleans and a funny round of “Where in the World is Robert Horry?”

We open the Shoot Around on the heels of Denver’s championship parade, and we talk to Robert Horry about what that week feels like as a player and what happens next as you start to look to next season. Jenners also brings a correction from last week’s show which launches into a conversation about great college players we left off our list. Plus we all offer the sports moment that leaves a bad feeling in the pit of our stomachs, whether or not James Harden moves on from Philly, some of our favorite old school anime cartoons, and awkward sexual references we have to address with our kids. Rob also talks about Conor McGregor knocking out the Miami Heat mascot during the Finals, and what pair we would take in the battle of Jordan-Hakeem against LeBron-Jokic.

Robert Horry reacts to the Denver Nuggets winning the NBA Championship, and wants to know what KCP was thinking throwing the championship ball in the air after one of the biggest plays in the game. Jokic also showed a lot of class in this win, jokes that he was recruiting by shaking all the Miami players’ hands, and feels his pain about wanting to just “go home” after winning the title. We also take a look at what the Miami Heat will do this offseason after over-performing in this playoff run, as Rob thinks they need to get bigger, and whether or not they keep Tyler Herro since he’s due a big paycheck next season. Rob also believes that James Harden returning to Houston would NOT work, a debate about Westbrook’s status in the league at this point in his career, and whether or not bench players can brag on being NBA Champions if they didn’t get any minutes. Plus we touch on Dejounte Murray’s future in Atlanta, play some amazing audio of the week from Yankees broadcaster John Stirling, offer up an inspiring Big Shot of the Week… and cap it off with an EPIC game.

We open the Shoot Around this week with a listener question about who stands as the greatest college basketball player of all time, if you omit pro careers. Nominees include Laettner, Kareem, Webber, Bill Walton and a bunch of others. Rob also weighs in on NBA ref Eric Lewis getting suspended from officiating the Finals for having a burner Twitter account to defend himself and his colleagues online. Plus Jeff Van Gundy says halftime should be eliminated from the game and Rob destroys him for not understanding how important halftime is for players. We also joke about how miserable Terrell Davis looked while surrounded by Miami Heat fans during the finals, which prompts a conversation about the worst fans to be surrounded by at a game. Mike Breen also mentioned that he was able to save a Kobe jersey from his devastating house fire last year, and we wonder what we would save from our homes in the event of a fire. And we close with a discussion about Major League Eating and the foods we love to pig out on, and the best foods coming off the grill.

Fresh off Miami tying up the NBA Finals and stealing Game 2 on the road in Denver, Rob looks at the Miami zone defense and how that’s given Denver fits. Rob also lays out what Miami has to do to have a shot at the rest of this series against Denver, and how Jokic can score big points and teams can find a way to beat them when no one else scores. Rob is also jealous of Monty’s bag and takes a look at the young roster he will inherit in Detroit as he takes over the Pistons. Plus Rob lays out how Frank Vogel needs to move away from being a “nice guy” coach to have any real success in Phoenix. We also break down the insane situations that would have to unfold for LeBron James to move to Dallas like Kyrie wants, whether the Lakers will extend Anthony Davis this summer, and if the Boston Celtics will find a way to keep both Tatum and Brown or whether it’s more valuable to split them up. Rob has to defend his take on Shaq-vs-Hakeem during his appearance on “All The Smoke” this week, a very cool Big Shot of the Week to Rams DC Raheem Morris, and we play a round of Dynamic Duos.

This week’s Shoot Around tips off with some conversation about unconventional sports. Rob loves tennis but never played golf, B-Dog would be a pro bowler and Jenners has taken up Pickleball. We also answer a question about our favorite high school memories – Rob looks back at his first dunk in a game during his freshman year of high school. Plus with the Finals upon us, people want to know about Rob’s favorite memories of playing in the NBA Finals, and he says his 2005 Game 5 performance in San Antonio against Detroit was his best memory. The debate about Jewel’s National Anthem, and Aaron Rodger going to Taylor Swift in New York with a bunch of buddies prompts the question… what show would you go to with a group of friends? Rob wants to go to Public Enemy or get wild at a Two Live Crew show back in the day, and we all talk about the first live concerts we ever went to. What would you do on an airplane if a crazy passenger pulled the emergency door like in South Korea last week? And we close out with a battle of the primes – Prime Shaq or Prime Dream, and Prime Kobe or Prime LeBron.

We open this week’s show with a recap of the WILD end to the Eastern Conference Finals, and Rob admits he doesn’t feel bad for the Celtics because he’s a Jimmy Butler fan. And while the Internet debates if Eric Spoelstra would have lost his job if the Heat blew a 3-0 lead, Rob says no way because he’s too good of a coach. We also get breaking news during the show that Bob Myers steps down as the Warriors GM and we wonder if the new GM will be loyal to Klay and Draymond as contracts come due. And Rob asks if you’d rather be the Miami Heat, who are rolling off a big win – or the Denver Nuggets, who’ve been resting for a solid week? Rob says they lost to the Sixers in 2001 because they were resting too long. The 76ers hire former Raptors head coach Nick Nurse, we have yet another Scottie Pippen intervention, and in the debate between a prime Nikola Jokic vs a prime Dwight Howard of course Dwight picks himself, but does he have a point? Plus the NFL’s new kickoff rule SUCKS, a Big Shot of the Week to Robert Horry’s momma, and another hilarious round of Walmart or Waffle House!

Rob’s current unemployment prompts a quick discussion about NBA coaches being shown the door too early, and memes about KD and Ja Morant on the bench. And following the Prince Harry paparazzi drama in New York, we asked Rob if he ever had a run-in with them, or had a teammate that did. While Rob did not, he does share a WILD story about a stalker that followed him around and contacted his family – scary! That does lead us into a funnier encounter about a stalker in Owen Wilson’s house who was wearing his pajamas, and we all want to know who wears pajamas?! B-Dog also brings up a list of things that “Real Men Can’t Do” and Jenners immediately has a LOT of issues with this list. Plus the “pineapple on pizza” debate rages on as we all battle for the best pizza toppings, we lay out what people would be invited on our hypothetical super yachts, and what is an acceptable buy at the dollar store. Finally with the passing of NFL legend Jim Brown we all weigh in with our all-time favorite football players. If you have a question for Rob or a topic for the Shoot Around, send it to bigshotbobpod@gmail.com or @bigshotbobpod on Twitter and Instagram.

We open the show with the fallout from Los Angeles after the Nuggets swept the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals, and how Rob is now unemployed until he gets a new contract with Spectrum. Rob was also in the building for Game 4 and talks about how he noticed the Nuggets hyping each other up and how good Jokic was when he was needed. That also stems from Mike Malone’s coaching, which Rob also says was way better than the Lakers game plan. Rob also does NOT buy the rumor that LeBron wants to retire, and also doesn’t buy the rumor that the Lakers are looking to trade for Trae Young. We also try to figure out where Anthony Davis was most of the series, how no one is buying the LeBron “retirement” rumors, and what it would take for the Lakers to actually trade for Trae Young. Plus the Heat have been playing amazing basketball, probably part of the reason why Jalen Brown isn’t happy in Boston anymore. Nike pulls Ja’s shoes, Carmelo leaves a legacy, San Antonio quietly wins again, and a dope Big Shot of the Week to a young man who saved a bus full of middle schoolers. And Rob and B-Dog face off in a hilarious round of Rapid Fire!

Robert Horry and the crew return again this week, as we start to roll out a second bonus-show every week. Different from our regular NBA show, the “Shoot Around” tackles some fun pop culture topics, dives into listener questions and let all the guys laugh at some of our funnier life experiences. This week, we find out about Rob’s most destructive teammates, we find out that black folks love to bowl, and we find out which players Rob would have liked to see win a ring. Plus we discuss movie sequels, old-woman crushes, shark attacks and lessons we learned from our mothers! Two shows a week!

As we open this week’s show, we get the word that Doc Rivers has been fired from Philadelphia after another second-round exit – and Robert Horry doesn’t think Doc will get another head coaching job in the NBA. We also try to make sense of the Suns firing Monty Williams, and whether or not Kevin Durant will have a say in their next coaching hire. Plus lots on the Ja Morant fallout, an amazing rant from Kwame Brown, and Rob blames Joel Embiid for ALL of the Game 7 loss. Plus how can the Heat beat the Celtics? Why do the Lakers have a match-up advantage against the Nuggets? A dope Big Shot of the Week, and a round of “I Got Fired’ with the circle of NBA coaching changes.

Tons of NBA Playoff action to talk about on this week’s show – including why Robert Horry thinks the Lakers won the trade deadline… because all the pieces seem to be working perfectly after the trade deadline moves. Plus we all look ahead to possible Western Conference Finals matchups, and we relish in a terrible Lakers take from ESPN’s Mike Greenberg. And why is everyone so fired up about the idea of Russell Westbrook and Pat Bev getting a ring if the Lakers win the title? We also joke about another terrible Mike Greenberg Heat-Knicks take – that somehow playing in Miami is too tough because of the heat? Like Denver’s thin air isn’t an excuse for the Nuggets? Plus how Rob feels about Jokic pushing Suns owner Matt Ishbia, a super cool Big Shot of the Week for James Harden, Bronny’s commitment to USC, the A’s announcer using the N-word, and a HILARIOUS round of Black Crime or White Crime! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Robert Horry is in the thick of the NBA playoffs, covering the Lakers for Spectrum in Los Angeles – and Rob says watching Steph Curry playing in Game 2 of their series earned him some new respect for Steph’s game. In regards to Draymond’s “loss of respect” for Sabonis because they didn’t shake hands, Robert Horry recalls that he NEVER shook anyone’s hand in the NBA, only guys on opposing teams that he knew, so that’s not a big deal for him. We also joke that the Denver Nuggets are pulling a “San Antonio Spurs act” by quietly killing people in the playoffs, and Rob feels like Embiid’s MVP was deserved but carries the air of a “make up” award for last season. Also do the Heat stand a chance without a healthy Jimmy Butler? Did Dillon Brooks bring all this on himself? Will Kyrie Irving land in LA after all? We jump into all those topics, hand out an inspiring Big Shot of the Week, and joke around in a game of “Playing the Percentages”. Like and subscribe, stick with us throughout the playoffs! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Robert Horry, Rob Jenners and B-Dog Brandon Harper are BACK and breaking down all the stories from the NBA Playoffs! Rob has thoughts on Dillon Brooks calling out LeBron, Trae Young's game and Giannis's "there is no failure in sports" monologue after the Bucks got bounced. Plus a hilarious Big Shot of the Week, and Rob and B-Dog face off in a round of Shot Clock. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We open the FINAL episode of the show by discussing the lackluster NBA All-Star Game, and Robert admits he hates it and thinks they should scrap the entire weekend. Rob admits that all the players want the accolades but treat it like a thorn in their side, and Mac McClung made a name for himself by winning the Dunk Contest. And Vernon Maxwell's reaction to the game in Salt Lake City was hilarious. We also discuss Jordan Clarkson's bling, how Rob has none because that's not who he was, and his flashiest teammate was Shaq. Rob also really disagrees with the Hawks decision to move on from Nate McMillan because Rob thinks Nate is a great coach and a great person, and feels like players like Trae Young need to fall in line and become better teammates in order to find success in Atlanta. We also discuss Russell Westbook in LA with the Clippers, where Rob says he'll have to fall in line with Kawhi and Ty Lue to succeed. We also ask Rob to look into his crystal ball and predict who will meet in the NBA Finals this summer, and who will win it... and his pick is interesting. Caleb and Jason are our live callers for the final show, we send some huge thanks to Robert Horry for his time, and we play a final hilarious round of Black Crime or White Crime! THANK YOU for 108 awesome episodes!!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Robert Horry dives right into the Kevin Durant move to Phoenix, and how he's excited to see how that core comes together when KD is back. We also talk about the Lakers moves at the trade deadline and Robert talks about why he loves the moves the team made. It's NBA All-Star weekend as well, and Rob reflects on his trips to the game he's taken in the past and how much more fun it was after he retired from the league. We all discuss the fallout from Super Bowl 57, give out an inspiring Big Shot of the Week and play one last epic round of Walmart or Waffle House!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Robert opens the show by talking about the scene last night in Los Angeles, and with the Lakers broadcast crew as LeBron James broke the all-time scoring record. We also discuss the odd scene surrounding Anthony Davis, who seemed uninterested in LeBron breaking the scoring record, and LeBron's mental state after Kyrie was traded to the Mavericks instead of the Lakers. On Kyrie, Rob also breaks down how Kyrie and Luca can coexist in Dallas, and Rob says they are going to have a hard time because they both need the ball to dominate. We also jump into the wild incident between Dillon Brooks and Donovan Mitchell and the hilarious audio that followed. Plus we touch on the White Men Can't Jump reboot, the 22-year-old coach who posed as a 13-year-old player in a JV high school basketball game, Super Bowl picks and an inspiring Big Shot of the Week. And we round out the show with another great round of Rapid Fire!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We open the show with some news this week that will affect our future going forward. We also jump into LeBron's emotions after the no-call at the end of the Celtics game and roll right into Chris Palmer's reaction to the no-call. Chris also talks about his new Fresh Prince book, who he has winning the Finals this year, his thoughts on the strong East and reacts to the comments about LeBron not being a Top 5 player. We also get Rob's first-hand explanation about what happened when he was kicked out of his teenage son's basketball game, and we close with an awesome Big Shot of the Week from Damar Hamlin.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Robert Horry puts the wraps on Year Two of the Big Shot Bob podcast, and as we enter Year Three we discuss what guests and live events we want to pull off in the coming year. We also jump into the Shannon Sharpe drama from this past weekend, and Rob says it doesn't bother him that much, while Jenners has a much different opinion of what this does to fans going forward. Plus Robert Horry says that Patrick Beverley's verbal squabble with the Lakers team reporter was something he'd never do, because these guys cover you for 82 games a year and can create any narrative they want. Plus Pat Riley weighs in on Kareem's greatness, the awkward audio of the week from Tom Brady, and our Super Bowl predictions. An inspiring Big Shot of the Week, and after Dame called Pat Bev "Flip from Above the Rim" we play a round of Hoops Movie Trivia.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We dive into this week's show with the story about how Robert Horry filmed some scenes for The Lincoln Lawyer, and is back from a very cool trip to Egypt with the NBA. And as the NBA trade deadline approaches, Robert says there is no way that the Lakers move either Patrick Beverley or Russell Westbrook, even with all the rumors going around, because neither of them is performing at a high level at the moment. We also debate whether Kareem will be in the building when LeBron breaks his scoring record, Trae Young's behavior in the Atlanta Hawks front office mess, and Rob's reaction to the Luca Doncic mural in Dallas that Mark Cuban found "disrespectful". Also, how many drug tests is too many? - because Ja Morant's on his seventh of the season. And we all appreciate Trevor Lawrence's love for Waffle House. A very cool Big Shot of the Week gets an assist from the Buffalo Bills, and after Rob's trip to Egypt we play a round of "Where in the World is Robert Horry?"See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As we open the show this week, Rob is headed to Egypt for an NBA Africa event, plus we get an incredible breaking update on Damar Hamlin's recovery! Rob also believes there is no truth to the rumor that LeBron would ask for a trade from the Lakers this offseason, largely because his family is rooted in LA and he's never asked for a trade before. We also speculate on how the fans feel about Kyrie Irving, as he is leading the All-Star voting among guards, the improvement in Jayson Tatum's game, and how the East has been taking over as the powerhouse in the NBA. Also we dive into the slide Phoenix has been on lately, and just how dominant Nikola Jokic has been this season, even more so than his previous MVP seasons. We wrap up with a classic Big Shot of the Week, and existential questions from the Internet, including movies you loved as a kid but hate as an adult, your sports bucket list and teams you love to root against.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We are back from the holiday break, and Robert Horry and the crew catch up on holiday traditions and what videogames have been keeping us away from our families. Of course we talk about the unfortunate incident surrounding Damar Hamlin, and Rob always thinks of the parents in situations like this because he himself has lost a child. We also play some of the uncomfortable confrontation between Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe following the fallout of Skip's untimely tweet. Plus in the wild NBA, we dial in on some of the explosive offensive performances of the last week, and Rob says it has to do with the better players in the league using the rules to their advantage - where in his day players were called for travels and carries way more than today. And an unselfish teammate makes for the best teammate, as Rob has seen that from Kevin Durant these last few weeks as Brooklyn finally hits their stride. Lastly, B-Dog has an issue with Michigan in the college football playoff, and we all try to figure out if TCU will actually have anything against Georgia in the National Championship Game. Stefon Diggs gets a huge Big Shot of the Week, and we round out the week with Walmart or Waffle House.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bill Walton joins the crew for show #100, and the man comes in hot! Bill has a lot of praise for Robert Horry's career, and laments that Rob has not yet been inducted into the basketball Hall of Fame. Plus Bill compares players in today's NBA to the style of game that Rob played in his day, shares his own wild Danny Ainge story about almost fighting him at Celtics practice, and jokes about how long his Hall of Fame speech went when he was enshrined. We also touch on Dame Lilliard breaking the Blazers scoring record, the SOFT comments that caused Draymond Green to have a fan thrown out of a game, and a hilarious holiday edition of Black Crime or White Crime!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rob and the crew jump into the wild Lakers-Celtics game and how wild endings to games like this teach these teams about what they are doing right and what they are doing wrong when it counts the most. And of course we all have something to say about Draymond Green, as he had a fan ejected from the game against the Bucks, and Rob says Draymond needs to toughen up when it comes to fans, because he remembers having his life threatened many times over in his playing days and always just focused on winning the game. Rob is also a bit unsure about the naming of the new NBA trophies and wonders how long the names will stay before they are renamed again, but also feels there should be an award named for David Stern. Plus Rob tells NBA players that took offense to Zion's 360 dunk at the end of regulation to "get over it" because they all pull antics on the court and you can't pick and choose what to be upset about. Also a really cool Big Shot of the Week, and in honor of Bob Barker's 99th birthday we play a round of NBA Price is Right!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rob and the crew open the show with the breaking news that Britney Griner has been released and we bet on who will get the first big interview. We also acknowledge the passing of our company's founder Norm Pattiz, and Rob remembers him fondly as an avid Lakers fan on the sidelines. Of course we dive into the Trae Young drama in Atlanta, and Rob says guys like Trae should not have the right to make their own rules until they establish themselves in the league as winners. Plus Rob disagrees with Draymond Green's Top 5 all timers because he left Kareem Abdul-Jabbar off the list, and spirals down the rabbit hole of NBA greats. And the Deion Sanders news leads to some fun debate on whether he should have left Jackson State, which we all expected he would in time, versus the idea of what he was creating for HBCU's across the country and wondering who will carry that torch now. We also dive into the College football playoff and why Rob thinks his alma mater Alabama is just going to fold against Kansas State in the Sugar Bowl, how the Lakers have found a formula for success, and a really cool Big Shot of the Week that Rob thinks we should ALL start doing!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Robert Horry opens the show this week by talking about the Lakers losing a 17-point 4th quarter lead and losing to Indiana, and how the Lakers did not learn to give the ball to Anthony Davis when he's been their hottest shooter on the floor. Rob also talks about how good the Boston Celtics have been offensively because they've been moving the ball and sharing shots between their best guys. We also touch on the success of Joel Embiid recently in Philly, and Kyle Kuzma and Kristaps Porzingas putting it together in Washington. And Rob reacts to Bill Walton calling for him to be inducted into the Hall of Fame on ESPN this past weekend, and how he's almost speechless when guys of that stature offer up praise and respect. Plus a wild weekend in College Football spurs a ton of fun debate, another inspiring Big Shot of the Week, and some great questions that spawned from this week's biggest news stories in a round of Jump Ball.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Robert Horry and the crew open the show by joking about the wild weekend from College Football, and B-Dog's Thanksgiving adventure at the beach! We also dive into Ben Simmons' return to Philadelphia and how he'll be received by that crowd, and Rob relates by reminiscing about his hostile returns to Phoenix in his playing days. Plus was Kevin Durant back-pedaling, or was he really trying to protect his teammates? And of course Robert Horry has a lot to say about the Austin Reaves breakout game in LA, and how a healthy Anthony Davis makes such a huge difference for the Lakers because of how good he is. And wait until you hear Rob emphatically call for Giannis to be FINED or SUSPENDED for his actions after the game in Philly the other night! Plus more trade rumors surrounding the Lakers and the Hawks, hilarious audio from the Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan heckler, a huge Big Shot of the Week and a fun round of Rapid Fire!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rob and the crew dive right into Kevin Durant's comments on his lackluster line-up in Brooklyn, and Rob believes that the fans expect the Nets to win when he's on the floor regardless of who's in his starting line-up. And as the subject turns to Ben Simmons, Rob feels like he should quit if he really doesn't like the media attention that comes with playing pro basketball because he knew that was part of the job when he took it. We also get into the Jayson Tatum ridiculous technical foul, and how that level of behavior would get Draymond Green thrown out of every game if they start handing out technical fouls like that. Plus we weigh in on Larsa Pippen dating Marcus Jordan, Rob thinks Pete Rose deserves a spot in the Hall of Fame, an inspiring Big Shot of the Week and a hilarious round of Shootout!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rob and the crew jump right into LeBron's leg injury, and the debate arises about what would it would take for the Lakers to trade Anthony Davis. Rob has a scenario where he could go back to Chicago for Zach LaVine but we all doubt it would ever come together. We also jump into Kyrie Irving's suspension, and Rob begs the question about how the platform owned by Jeff Bezos isn't catching grief  while Kyrie is dealing with all the fallout. Plus Meek Mill tripping refs, a lot of College Football talk after Rob's Crimson Tide lost to LSU, and how Georgia has managed to rebuild an elite defense in just one season. We also get an update on Brittney Griner, an inspiring Big Shot of the Week from Lamar Jackson, and a hilarious round of Walmart or Waffle House to round out the show.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Robert Horry and the crew dive right into the Steve Nash firing in Brooklyn, and how the possibility of hiring suspended Celtics coach Ime Udoka is a move they are willing to make because Udoka got Boston to the Finals in his first season. And for Brooklyn at this point, they have nothing to lose and they need a leader. We also dive into the Kyrie drama from this week, and everyone is confused by Kyrie's choice to argue semantics as opposed to just apologizing. Rob also reminds Kyrie that everything he posts is considered promotion due to the size and scale of his platform. Robert also has a personal connection to the tragic shooting of rapper Takeoff in Houston, as his son Cameron hangs out at that same bowling alley and Rob panicked when his phone was going to voicemail that night. We also touch on the Lakers celebrating Darvin Ham's first win in the locker room, the longevity of NBA careers from guys like LeBron, who are the best all-around court players in the league, and some hilarious "burning questions" to round out the show.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Robert Horry and the crew open the show with an extensive conversation on the Lakers struggles this early in the season, and Rob feels like players should only get a green light to shoot if they understand that their shots are great shots. Rob also has plenty of blame to pass around in LA, starting with Rob Pelilnka, and how much situational awareness has hurt Russell Westbrook, who needs to take accountability for his bad play. Plus Rob backtracks on his dismissal of the New York Knicks after their strong start to the season, thinks Klay Thompson and Devin Booker had a childish fight, and talks about father time coming down on Tom Brady. Of course a great Big Shot of the Week and a new game called "The Big Three".See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bomani Jones, host of "Game Theory with Bomani Jones" on HBO Max, jumps right in on the conversation about Draymond Green, and admits that he's surprised that Draymond played on opening night and thinks he could be gone by season's end. Bomani and Rob also talk about the state of the Lakers, and Bomani thinks that the Lakers invested in the idea of building a team around LeBron James and remain competitive, but the team around LeBron doesn't support that idea. We also dive into the surprising stats from off-season merchandise sales, Tom Brady's sympathy tour, and a truly inspiring Big Shot of the Week!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We kick off this week's Big Shot Bob podcast by discussing the lack of punishment for Draymond Green, after video surfaced this week of Draymond punching teammate Jordan Poole at practice... and Robert Horry says if the Warriors really want to send a message they would suspend Draymond Green on ring night and force him to get his ring another time. Robert is also confused about why Jae Crowder wants out of Phoenix, because if they want to "go young" then you show up all the youngsters and prove your value to the team. And shockingly, Robert Horry BACKS Davante Adams for shoving the camera man in Kansas City because the same thing happened to him when he played in the NBA! Plus we try to figure out what's going on with Kanye West, and Ben Gordon, give out an inspirational Big Shot of the Week to a Commanders running back, and wrap up the show with an NBA-fights game called "Momma Said Knock You Out"!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Robert Horry talks a ton about the NBA with Shaun Geddes, the king of Knicks Twitter, and Shaun pleads his case about why he thinks the Knicks will be better than a lot of people expect this season. We also debate about how Trae Young and the Hawks have affected Knicks fans the last couple of years, how the Kareem and Kyrie drama bubbled up this week, and Shaun lays out his case about why he feels like the Knicks are a top 5 team in the East this season. Plus we discuss this week's Antonio Brown shenanigans, how the Dolphins royally screwed up with Tua, the DK Metcalf cart-off-the-field-to-poop incident and give out a truly heroic Big Shot of the Week!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We are BACK this week, and we get right into the Lakers "Chip on their shoulder" mentality and how guys like Anthony Davis are pushing the narrative that the Lakers are underdogs. Rob is also really impressed by Kawhi Leonard and Zion Williamson coming into the season in such great shape and waiting to see what their games look like coming off injuries. Plus Rob calls BS on Patrick Beverley's narrative about him and Westbrook becoming best friends since linking up on the Lakers, and how when Russ gave Pat Bev's sister courtside seats it wasn't a good gesture but more a ploy to soften him up. Rob also compares the Ime Udoka controversy to Phil Jackson dating Jeanie Buss, and explains how Phil and Jeanie had disclosed their relationship to management and neither was with another person at the time.

Living in LA means that Robert Horry is not allowed to charge his electric car, which leads to a wild and hilarious conversation about our failures with cars in our lives. Plus, Robert Horry admits he is surprised by the Lakers acquiring Patrick Beverley, because if he were Russell Westbrook he would have never forgiven him for the season-ending injury Pat Bev caused back in 2013.

A wild week on the Big Shot Bob podcast starts with Rob's COVID false positive and Harper's story behind his surgery scar. Then we dive into the Ja Morant story - which is being spun wildly by the media - and Rob applauds Ja's confidence by saying it's exactly where it needs to be to play in the NBA, because confidence drives your game forward. And with the Jazz showing interest in trading Donovan Mitchell, it shows that they're ready to fully rebuild, and Rob thinks there are very few guys in the league today that are untouchable. And on trades, he thinks that if the Lakers wanted to flip LeBron James for Kevin Durant, it's a move that they would have to make! Speaking of LeBron, we touch on his commentary about Brittney Griner, and Rob jokes about Richard Jefferson's adventure as an NBA referee and why he could never ref an NBA game!

He also believes that KD will stay put in Brooklyn because the asking price is just too high for him. Plus Rob says he would love to see Kyrie Irving on the Lakers, and thinks the tweet from Jeanie Buss the other night was reflective of making tough decisions like that without a guy like Kobe to give her an honest opinion. Rob also really likes the addition of Dejounte Murray, is unsure about John Wall with the Clippers, but feels strongly that the Rudy Gobert trade to Minnesota was the worst trade ever!

Robert Horry spent the week in Houston doing Draft events for the Rockets, and was on hand when Houston picked Jabari Smith at #3. He says Jabari reminds him of Kevin Durant, in that he's skinny and athletic, and likes the pick for the Rockets as they start to rebuild. Draft memories also boil up for Rob, and we find out that he actually attended the 1992 NBA Draft ALONE, he had no one with him at the time and thinks he might be the only player to ever go to the Draft by himself. Plus we talk about partying with your kids, Rob's wrestling adventure in Las Vegas, and we all try to figure out the Knicks moves as they try to acquire Jalen Brunson.

We open this week's loaded up show with the story of B-Dog's broken arm - how it happened, and how stupid injuries have cost us in the past.

Plus we joke about Steph's t-shirt trolling of Boston, the wild story of the fake Clay Thompson getting banned for life, and Montrezl Harrell being charged with drug trafficking for having three pounds of weed in his car.
