Big Shot Bob Pod with Robert Horry

<p>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. </p>

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 [email protected] 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.
