Big Shot Bob - Shoot Around Ep 42 - Squatters Rights Apr 05, 2024

Show notes

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.

Big Shot Bob – Episode 158 – The State Flag Has Wrinkles Apr 02, 2024

Show notes

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!

Big Shot Bob – Shoot Around Ep 41 – Shaq Broke That Rule Mar 29, 2024

Show notes

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.

Big Shot Bob – Ep 157 – Too Many Bathrooms Mar 26, 2024

Show notes

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!

Big Shot Bob – Shoot Around Ep 40 – Evade the Obvious Mar 22, 2024

Show notes

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.

Big Shot Bob – Ep 156 – A Kardashian Showed Up Mar 20, 2024

Show notes

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!

Big Shot Bob – Shoot Around Ep 39 – More Pep in Your Step Mar 15, 2024

Show notes

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.

Big Shot Bob – Ep 155 – Smell the Wood Burning Mar 12, 2024

Show notes

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!

Big Shot Bob – Shoot Around Ep 38 – Always Check on the Money Mar 08, 2024

Show notes

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.

Big Shot Bob – Episode 154 – Clayton Crowley and Your Mom Mar 05, 2024

Show notes

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!
