Big Shot Bob - Shoot Around Ep 4 - Glizzy Kabobs Jun 09, 2023

Show notes

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.

Big Shot Bob – Ep 116 – Duck the Smoke Jun 06, 2023

Show notes

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.

Big Shot Bob – Shoot Around Ep 3 – Bring Your Boys to Luthor Jun 02, 2023

Show notes

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.

Big Shot Bob – Ep 115 – Home Court Disadvantage May 30, 2023

Show notes

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!

Big Shot Bob – Shoot Around Ep 2 - Real Men Can't May 26, 2023

Show notes

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.

Big Shot Bob - Ep 114 - Sweep Your Peeps May 23, 2023

Show notes

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!

Big Shot Bob – Shoot Around Ep 1 – All Bowling Matters May 19, 2023

Show notes

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!

Big Shot Bob – Flash Your Guns May 17, 2023

Show notes

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.

Big Shot Bob - Ep112 - The Toughest Ring to Win May 10, 2023

Show notes

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!

Big Shot Bob - Ep 111 - In Your Little Feelings May 05, 2023

Show notes

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!
