Big Shot Bob Pod with Robert Horry

Friday means it's Shoot Around time — episode 141 of everything that didn't make the cut on Tuesday. Robert Horry, Rob Jenner, and B-Dawg kick things off with the Avengers: Doomsday trailer, going deep on Doctor Doom vs. Darkseid, the Victor Von Doom fan theories, and why nobody's mad Deadpool got left out of the trailer. From there it's Mike Tyson somehow not knowing Shohei Ohtani is a guy, the World Cup halftime show comparison to the Super Bowl, and an all-time debate over the best halftime performance ever.

Horry drops a story nobody knew about him — turns out he was actually a contestant on The Dating Game back in his playing days, and the behind-the-scenes details are wild. Then it's your questions: Caitlin Clark's record-breaking 45-point night and whether the WNBA needs an enforcer out there, the Florida grandma with the license plate that read a little differently than intended, and the ongoing mystery of people crawling in and out of the New York City sewer system with headlamps and shovels.

Loose, off-topic, and exactly what Shoot Around is supposed to be. New episodes every Friday.

Episode 269 and we're sneaking up on the big 300 milestone. Robert Horry, Rob Jenner, and B-Dog get into it on everything going on around the league, starting with the LeBron James free agency saga that's now held the entire schedule hostage for three weeks running. The guys break down the shifting odds between Miami, Cleveland, and Philly, dig into why nobody thinks the Knicks have a shot, and Rob Horry gets personal about the "just make a decision" frustration versus understanding LeBron's family situation with his daughter.

From there it's a full free agency roundup — DeMar DeRozan possibly heading back to San Antonio, Draymond Green's future tied entirely to LeBron's decision, and the Lou Dort three-team trade that sent him to Atlanta while OKC stacked up draft picks. The Warriors' Summer League championship run gets its own segment, with the guys going deep on their new draft pick and why he might be the reason Draymond doesn't come back to Golden State.

Also on deck: an early 2026 rookie class debate, an Anthony Davis interview clip that gets Horry fired up about "40-plus wins," the ongoing Gary Trent Jr. cap circumvention investigation, and a Big Shot of the Week shoutout to a Kansas City police officer who tracked down a stolen e-bike for a cancer patient. Then things go completely off the rails with the Waffle House training video breakdown and a new round of Walmart or Waffle House.

It's a lighter one this week — just Robert Horry and Rob Jenners running through the leftover questions and stories that didn't fit into Wednesday's show. They kick things off with a Friday movie tangent (yes, the trilogy, not the day), then get into Conor McGregor's disastrous UFC comeback that ended in 69 seconds after he blew out his knee trying to fly-kick his way back into relevance.

From there it's a run of stories that had Horry and Jenners genuinely stumped: Senegal's World Cup medical staff reportedly included a gynecologist with no business treating a men's soccer team, and a 65-year-old grandfather at Yellowstone got launched nine feet in the air by a bison after a park ranger spooked it with a truck horn. That one turns into a full safari debate — which animals are actually the most dangerous, and Horry's very specific plan for surviving one (spoiler: it involves you, not him).

They also get into Carolina Hurricanes owner Tom Dundon engraving his wife and five kids onto the Stanley Cup ahead of the players and staff who actually won it, and close out with a listener question about Kristin Cavallari flying first class while her kids sit in coach. That turns into Horry breaking down his own family's travel rules, his stance on private jets, and the seat-booking trick he uses to keep the middle seat empty.

New episodes of the Big Shot Bob Podcast drop every Tuesday, and Shoot Around runs right behind it every Friday with the leftovers, the tangents, and the stuff that got cut for time. Subscribe and turn on notifications so you catch both.

Robert Horry, Rob Jenners, and B-Dog are coming off a Summer League week that didn't go the way anybody in Vegas planned, and they've got a full show sheet to prove it. They open by picking apart the Wizards shutting down rookie AJ Johnson, detour into an actual geography lesson about where you can find a Piggly Wiggly in Georgia, and Rob gets reminded that talking trash on this show always finds its way back to him — this time from Wizards fans after he named Washington his League Pass dark horse.

From there it's a real basketball conversation. Horry breaks down training his son Christian in the gym for the first time in two years, and the guys dig into Jonathan Kuminga's stalled free agency before getting into the biggest story of the summer: Victor Wembanyama turning down the supermax to keep his young Spurs core paid. Horry explains why that move says more about Wemby's character than any stat line could, and the three of them go back and forth on whether he could become the first basketball billionaire — just not off American endorsement deals.

The Bam Adebayo–Tyler Herro dust-up gets the full breakdown, including Tim Hardaway's comments about Heat culture and what it actually means to have your guy's back in a locker room. Then it's LeBron for the better part of twenty minutes — who's really leading the sweepstakes between Cleveland, Golden State, Philly, and Miami, why Draymond Green opting into free agency might be a tell, and how weird it is that people are treating LeBron's every move at Fanatics Fest like a decision-day clue. They close out the trade talk with where things stand on Kawhi Leonard, the ongoing NBA investigation, and why the Clippers front office has more explaining to do than Adam Silver let on.

Once the basketball talk wraps, Avery Woolery — an 11-year-old kid from Kentucky who jumped in a pool to save a drowning man when the adults around him didn't — gets this week's Big Shot. And then the guys close out with a wild round of Black Crime or White Crime, headlined by maybe the strangest arson story any of them have ever read on air.

It's a lighter Friday edition of the Shootaround, and Robert Horry and Rob Jenners are catching up on everything they didn't get to during the July 4th break. First up: the NBA's new one-free-throw rule getting tested at Summer League, and why Horry thinks turning two free throws into one is a solution looking for a problem.

From there it's a quick hit on the Jaguars' reported talks to relocate to London, a look at which current NBA stars have stuck with their teams the longest (Steph Curry leads the pack, with Draymond Green and Devin Booker not far behind), and a debate over whether any of them actually retire where they are.

Then things get silly: a listener sends in a Pacman Jones clip claiming South Carolina had a McDonald's inside the football locker room, which sends Horry and Jenners down a rabbit hole on mispronounced words, a viral video of a five-year-old Mets fan begging to switch to the Yankees, and the fan bases everybody loves to hate on but never actually leaves.

They close things out on a genuinely good note, answering a listener question about the coolest thing Horry's ever done for someone else — a story about giving up hospital privileges for other families with sick kids.

It's been the wildest week of the NBA offseason, and Robert Horry, Rob Jenners, and B-Dog Brandon Harper have a lot to get through. The show kicks off with an argument nobody asked for — Rob's theory that every undersized, unathletic kid in America should just go play soccer — before the guys dig into the trade that broke Twitch: Jaylen Brown to the 76ers for Paul George and draft compensation.

They break down whether Boston's “JB and JT can't win a title together” reasoning holds up, debate how fast (or slow) Philly fans will actually embrace a guy who spent a decade calling them the enemy, and dig into what Paul George's fit looks like next to a Jayson Tatum-led Celtics squad.

From there it's a full lap around the Lakers, who added Luka Dončić, AR, and Walker Kessler to a roster that's got the internet cracking jokes about the “Mayo Mob” and “Live, Laugh, Lakers.” Horry and Harper get into the actual basketball case for the moves, what the Kessler trade cost L.A. in draft capital, and why Rui Hachimura bolted for the Clippers on a deal Horry thinks his agent should be fired over.

The back half covers the Wizards quietly stacking three former No. 1 picks, a Rich Paul clip that reignites the LeBron-to-Cleveland chatter, Donovan Mitchell's new max extension, and a run through free agency moves including Collin Sexton, Anfernee Simmons, and DeMar DeRozan hitting the open market. Pat McAfee gets Big Shout of the Week honors, and the guys close it out with a round of “History Repeating,” matching this year's NBA storylines to their 2018 twins.

The HUGE breaking news about LeBron James hits at the END of the show this week – so hang out until after the game for immediate reaction as it breaks!!

Seven-time NBA champion Robert Horry is joined by Rob Jenners and B-Dog Brandon Harper for an episode 266 packed with roster fallout from the start of free agency. The crew opens by digging into the Ja Morant trade to Portland, debating whether the Blazers’ backcourt logjam leaves Scoot Henderson on the outside looking in, before turning to the Grizzlies’ return and what comes next for both sides.

From there the guys work through a stacked Western Conference storyline: Draymond Green opting out and the running joke about a Warriors-LeBron pairing, the Lakers’ retention of Austin Reaves on a four-year max deal, DeAndre Ayton’s player option, and what it would actually take for the Lakers to chase Jalen Duren in restricted free agency. Horry and Harper go back and forth on whether DeAndre Ayton has been put in a position to succeed in LA, and whether San Antonio makes sense as a landing spot if the Lakers move on.

The conversation shifts to Charlotte sending LaMelo Ball to Minnesota, with the hosts debating whether that pairing with Anthony Edwards is really the best backcourt in the league or just the most entertaining one. They also touch on Golden State’s decision to move on from Jonathan Kuminga, a possible Kawhi Leonard return to Toronto, and where Jaylen Brown trade rumors actually stand.

A rundown of the week’s free agency moves follows — James Harden, Andrew Wiggins, Bradley Beal, Landry Shamet, Isaiah Hartenstein, Lu Dort, Julian Champagnie and Jose Alvarado all get a mention — before the show heads into Big Shout of the Week, honoring a school resource officer in Phoenix who paid out of pocket to take an entire class to the movies. The episode closes with a brand new trivia segment, Shams Is Reporting, and ends on a piece of breaking news about LeBron James’ future with the Lakers that catches the whole crew off guard.

It's Friday, which means Rob Jenners, Robert Horry, and B-Dog are back to clear the table on everything that didn't make it into Tuesday's show. Episode 138 of the Shoot Around goes hard on KD's revisionist history, the top NBA salaries heading into next season, and a rapid-fire rumor mill that covers LeBron, Ja Morant, the Knicks' title defense, and what San Antonio needs to stay dangerous.

First up: Kevin Durant went on a Barstool podcast this week and tried to explain why he left OKC for Golden State back in 2016 — claiming the Warriors were basically underdogs when he showed up. The guys are not buying it. At all. Rob runs through the receipts: 73-9, the 67-win season before that, the title, the back-to-back three-point records. Big Shot Bob's verdict? KD just be talking.

Then it's a quick trivia spin on the top 10 NBA salaries going into next year. Steph Curry sits at number one at $62.5 million — at 38 years old. The guys try to fill in the rest of the list: Jokic, Tatum, AD, Giannis, Embiid, Jaylen Brown, Devin Booker, KAT, and Jimmy Butler round it out. Luka, for the record, is not on it.

From there it's rumor mill time. Is Ja Morant actually movable, or does that $42 million contract scare everyone off? How long before LeBron makes a call — and does he go back to the Lakers, consider Cleveland, or is there an outside shot he links up with Giannis in Miami? The Knicks just won a title but James Dolan's already drawing a line at the second apron, which means Clarkson, Robinson, and Shamet are probably all walking. And San Antonio: what exactly do the Spurs spend their $44 million in cap space on to get back to where they were in the Finals?

Harp floats Dwight Howard as a San Antonio option. Rob closes his laptop. The show pretty much ends itself from there.

The NBA decided not to wait. Before the 2026 draft even got underway, the league flipped on its head — and Rob Jenners, Robert Horry, and B-Dog are here to make sense of all of it on Episode 265 of the Big Shot Bob Podcast.

The big story: Giannis Antetokounmpo is headed to the Miami Heat. The guys break down the full package Milwaukee got back — Tyler Herro, Kyle Lowry, Jaime Jaquez Jr., three first-round picks including the 13th overall, and more — and debate whether Miami actually pulled off a heist or just handed Pat Riley a roster puzzle he has to solve before training camp. Seven-time champion Robert Horry has thoughts on all of it, including the part where the Heat now need to figure out a bench situation in a hurry.

Then there's Jaylen Brown. He was reportedly part of Boston's pitch to Milwaukee, and now that Giannis ended up somewhere else, what exactly do the Celtics have on their hands? The guys dig into whether that relationship can be repaired, whether JB's Twitch stream has become his de facto press conference, and what three years left on a big contract actually means when a player wants out.

Minnesota gets its own segment — and not in a good way. Julius Randle is gone to Brooklyn, Ant Man's frustration has been an open secret for a while, and the Timberwolves are burning through roster pieces faster than they're building anything. The guys ask the obvious question: what are you actually doing over there?

From there it's draft night preview mode — the consensus top four, what the Clippers might do at five, and Rob's take on what Atlanta should be targeting at pick eight. Plus Dusty Mays leaving Michigan (off a national title, no less) to take the Dallas head coaching job, Trae Young locking up a four-year deal in Washington, and what a healthy Trae-plus-AD situation could realistically mean for the Wizards.

The Knicks parade happened, and Rob has been to seven of these things. He ranks them. The crew also gives a well-deserved Big Shot of the Week to Simone Kelly, the off-duty EMT who revived an overdose victim during the celebration — and then had to fend off the guy she just saved.

They close it out with Shot Clock — Rob can't name more than one beer, Harp rattles off 11 Knicks in 10 seconds, and somebody names Phoenix as a state. It's that kind of show.

It's Friday, which means it's Shoot Around time. Episode 137. Robert Horry, Rob Jenners, and B-Dog are back with the fan questions that didn't make the Tuesday show — plus some detours that definitely weren't on the agenda.

First up: a listener asks whether certain championships just mean more than others. Brian Windhorst sparked the debate on ESPN comparing the Knicks title to the LeBron-Cleveland moment in 2016. Robert's answer might surprise you — for him personally, the 2005 title in San Antonio hit harder than any of the Lakers runs, and he explains why. B-Dog makes the case for Kobe's first ring without Shaq, and Rob gets into what the 2021 Braves World Series meant to him working inside that organization.

Then there's the World Cup. It's in America right now, and a viral video of a French guy experiencing Buc-ee's for the first time is basically the greatest piece of content on the internet. The guys use it as a jumping off point: what does a foreigner absolutely have to experience in the US? Waffle House at 2 AM makes the list. Soul food does too. Atlanta gets discussed at length, and Jameis Winston cleaning up a stadium in Dallas with Japanese fans is just a genuinely wholesome moment.

A listener question about Rick Brunson's courtside moment with Jalen after the title turns into one of the more personal conversations on the show — all three guys share a memory with their dads. Robert's involves sneaking candy into Silver Streak and a hard foul from his pops during a pickup game. Rob talks about a rough stretch with his father that got repaired when his daughter was born. Worth a listen.

From there: household chores, the great grocery shopping debate, Trader Joe's vegan oatmeal cookies vs. Thin Mints, and a final fan question about the wildest thing anyone's ever seen at a live sporting event. Robert tells a story from a Lakers-SuperSonics game that Phil Jackson definitely remembers. And somewhere in there, a bird dies at a Braves spring training game.

After 53 years, the New York Knicks are NBA champions. Robert Horry, Rob Jenner, and B-Dog Brandon Harper are back to break down one of the wildest finals in recent memory — a series where San Antonio led for 72% of the total minutes and somehow lost in five.

Robert talks about what needs to change for Wemby — specifically, the weight room — and what Dillon Harper's role should actually look like moving forward. Is De'Aaron Fox on the hot seat? He's got four years and over $200 million coming, so the Spurs better hope he's got short-term memory. And was this the Knicks winning, or the Spurs just losing it? The guys go back and forth on that one, and honest answer is... both.

From Jalen Brunson's place in Knicks history (Perk said greatest ever — the guys aren't buying it), to Karl-Anthony Towns FaceTiming Anthony Edwards after winning a ring, to the Knicks parade turning into a disaster with school buses on fire and 63 arrests — there's a lot to unpack from championship week in New York.

Also on the show: Draymond Green says European players are dirty, and Robert Horry has some thoughts on that. James Harden got pulled over at 4 AM with a handgun in his cup holder. The Bulls hired Tiago Splitter and Robert is thrilled it's not another guard. Big Shot of the Week goes to Amy Pye, a former Navy reservist from British Columbia who answered her door at 3 AM and saved a man's life. And the crew plays a special Championship Celebration Edition of Black Crime or White Crime — featuring naked Alabama fans, horse riders at Churchill Downs, and a guy swinging a metal flagpole at electrical wires.

It's Friday, so you know what that means — Shoot Around is back. Robert Horry, Rob Jenner, and B-Dog run through everything that didn't make Tuesday's show, and this week that list is pretty loaded.

First up: the NBA's new 3-2-1 draft lottery. Quentin asked about it, and fair enough — they never got to it on the main show. Rob breaks down how it works (the lottery expands from 14 to 16 teams, and the three worst records in the league actually get their odds PULLED back), and Robert gives his honest reaction: he doesn't hate it, but he's not ready to fully buy in until he sees it play out. The Indiana Pacers situation this year is a perfect example of why this stuff gets complicated fast.

Then things get heavier. Brendon Sorsby — the Texas Tech quarterback who bet on his own games at Indiana — caught a two-game suspension and a $5 million deal. The guys go deep on what kind of message that sends across every roster in college football. Not just to stars, but to walk-ons and scholarship guys who know everything about their team and are getting nothing out of NIL. It's a messy situation and Robert and Rob don't hold back.

After that, a palate cleanser: Tom Brady launched a new coconut water brand, and the name is... Good Nut. B-Dog's face said it all. If you're listening and not watching, do yourself a favor and pull up the YouTube just for that reaction.

A listener question for Robert — what's the most unfortunate thing that ever happened to you in a game? The José Canseco ball-off-the-head moment from Joe Adell inspired this one. Robert's answer might surprise you. (Spoiler: his shorts have a starring role.)

And to close it out, the blanket fort world record. A Nevada high school student built a 14,000+ square foot fort in Las Vegas, which somehow leads to a full childhood memory throwback session. Sliding down hills on cardboard, building clubhouses in the woods, and getting evicted from your own blanket fort by your grandfather. All of it.

Topics covered this week:

• NBA 3-2-1 draft lottery breakdown — what changed and why
• Tanking debate: injuries, bad teams, and what actually counts as tanking
• Brendon Sorsby, $5M deals, and a two-game slap on the wrist
• Gambling in college sports — the double-edged sword nobody wants to admit
• Walk-ons, NIL gaps, and insider info as a ticking time bomb
• Tom Brady's coconut water brand, "Good Nut"
• B-Dog's priceless reaction and the best disapproving head shake on YouTube
• Robert Horry's most unfortunate moment on the court (and on TV)
• Blanket fort world record and childhood memory lane

Episode 263 of the Big Shot Bob Podcast. The Spurs just stole Game 3 in Madison Square Garden and suddenly we've got ourselves a real NBA Finals. Robert Horry, Rob Jenner, and Brandon Harper break it all down the morning after — from De'Aaron Fox's backseat tendencies to Wembanyama's growing confidence as an enforcer, to whether this Spurs team actually has what it takes to steal another one in New York.

Topics covered this week:

• Spurs take Game 3 — what changed and what it means going into Game 4
• De'Aaron Fox settling for jumpers when he should be attacking the basket
• Wemby's evolving physicality — is he figuring out he can get away with stuff?
• Dylan Harper off the bench: why the rookie energy matters more than a starting spot
• The chippy nature of this series — Hart's kick, Wemby's elbow, and whether any of it helps
• Trump at MSG, the blowback, and some truly unhinged postgame scenes outside the Garden
• Robert Horry saw Pop recently — how's Gregg Popovich doing? (Short answer: a lot better)
• Rick Brunson's full-court dad moment in Game 2
• ESPN's AI Tony Parker disaster — and Robert finally getting his highlight reel moment

• Tribute to Stacey King, and Quinn Snyder's extension in Atlanta
• Big Shot of the Week: Fourth-grader Magnolia Bridegroom saves her dad's life with CPR
• Shootout is back — NBA Finals champions since 1999, MVPs who missed the Finals, oldest arenas, and more

Robert Horry is a seven-time NBA champion. He's been here before. And he's not done talking.

It's NBA Finals week, Game 2 is tonight, and the Shoot Around boys are doing exactly what they do on Fridays — talking about everything except the thing you'd expect them to talk about.

They kick things off with a listener correction from Twitter — turns out the Coach of the Year who got fired before the award came in was Dwayne Casey, not Lloyd Pierce (Rob was close). From there it's a full dive into the hero-to-villain arc: OKC went from everyone's favorite upstart to the team everyone wanted to see lose, almost overnight. Rob points to the Kansas City Chiefs as the gold standard of that flip — and SGA's habit of spending time on the floor didn't exactly help Oklahoma City's cause this year.

Then it's a two-part debate: who should retire and go to the broadcast desk, and who do you wish had kept playing? Russell Wilson heading to the CBS pregame show kicks things off, and the guys run through Draymond, Klay Thompson (Rob thinks he'd surprise people), Mike Trout, and Jameis Winston — who they both agree has a big bag waiting for him somewhere, whether it's Barstool or a network couch next to Shannon Sharpe and Gronk.

On the comeback side — Serena Williams is returning to play doubles at the HSBC Championships, which gets them talking about who they'd most want to see suit back up. Rob's answer: Pete Sampras. Casual greatness, no ego, just stroll in and handle business. Brandon picks Barry Sanders and Calvin Johnson — two guys who deserved so much better than what Detroit gave them.

And then the closer — the hot mic segment that was teased all week on Tuesday's show. LSU pitcher Devin Shearer gets warned by the umps, ESPN gets told to turn the field mics down, ESPN does not turn the field mics down. And then there's the Nebraska-Oklahoma State softball game, where an unidentified voice — still a mystery — delivered what might be the most unexpected phrase ever broadcast live on ESPN. Rob and Brandon's debate about who exactly says "ball sack" at a softball game is genuinely one of the funnier bits they've done.

In this episode:

• OKC's hero-to-villain arc — and the Kansas City Chiefs comparison
• SGA's foul-baiting and why fans turned on Oklahoma City
• Russell Wilson heads to CBS — who else should retire and hit the desk?
• Klay Thompson as a broadcast sleeper pick
• Jameis Winston's future: Barstool or network TV?
• Shannon Sharpe and the importance of letting personalities breathe
• Serena Williams making her doubles comeback at HSBC Championships
• Barry Sanders and Calvin Johnson — the ones who got away
• Rob Horry on Pete Sampras: the definition of casual greatness
• LSU's Devin Shearer hot mic moment — ESPN was warned
• The mystery 'ball sack' voice at the Nebraska-Oklahoma State softball game

Big Shot Bob is LIVE from San Antonio for the NBA Finals, and this episode has that energy all the way through. Robert Horry, seven-time champion, is on-site for Podcast Row — flying in with Danny Green and Malika Andrews — and the boys waste no time getting into it.

They kick things off breaking down the Spurs' Game 7 win over OKC — and yes, Chet Holmgren gets the full treatment. Rob says Chet looked like a guy who had something going on off the court, comparing him to a boxer who famously broke down mid-fight. Zero field goal attempts in the second half on a team that needed him? Hard to defend. Meanwhile, San Antonio's Slash Brothers (Castle and Harper) and a 20-point Champagnie performance pushed them through to the Finals.

Then it's on to the NBA Finals preview — Spurs vs. Knicks. Rob and Brandon both lay out their cases for each team, get into what KAT has to do defensively against Wemby, why Castle turning the ball over could be fatal, and whether the Knicks' 11-game playoff win streak means anything against a team this different. Rob calls it: Spurs in six. Brandon hedges: Spurs in seven. They both agree — the Knicks' best shot is pace, pace, pace.

They also get into the Miles Garrett trade to the Rams, A.J. Brown heading back to the Patriots, Apple TV potentially coming after NFL rights, and Wembanyama's looming extension — a $251M base deal that could hit $301M with incentives. The Alamo jokes write themselves.

Big Shot of the Week goes to Arnett Johnson — a man who was unhoused in Miami and still stopped everything to help a lost six-year-old boy find his way home. Real one. And Rapid Fire is BACK, and somebody ends it at the buzzer on Captain Crunch. No spoilers on who.

In this episode:

• Spurs Game 7 breakdown and the Slash Brothers' big night
• Chet Holmgren's disappearing act — Rob's full autopsy
• SGA takes accountability (the anti-Durant energy is real)
• Spurs vs. Knicks Finals preview — keys to the series for both sides
• Wemby's extension: $251M base, up to $301M — San Antonio better start saving
• Miles Garrett traded to the Rams and the rest of the NFL chaos
• Sean Sweeney named Orlando Magic head coach (Rob has thoughts)
• Robert Horry on playing with Shaq, Duncan, and Robinson — the eraser effect
• Big Shot of the Week: Arnett Johnson, Miami
• Rapid Fire trivia returns — Safety Dance, Captain Crunch, and New Edition drama

Robert Horry, Rob Jenners, and Brandon Harper break down everything that matters in the NBA right now — and a few things that don't. Big Shot Bob is hosting a baby shower and hiding from 50 women, so naturally it's the perfect time to talk basketball.  We dig deep into the OKC Thunder vs San Antonio Spurs Western Conference Finals with Game 6 on the horizon. The Spurs have been in a fistfight but the young bulls keep letting emotion get in the way. Robert has firsthand thoughts on what Gregg Popovich's halftime speeches actually do to a team — and a legendary story about the one time Pop yelled at him. Spoiler: Robert laughed. 

Wemby is the conversation. He joined Bill Walton as the only player in NBA history with 300 points, 150 rebounds, and 50 blocks in their first postseason. But is he doing enough? We debate whether he needs to go full Kobe — get on the block and tell everybody to get out of the way — and why his grace and his aggression can coexist.  Over in the East, we put the Cleveland Cavaliers series loss to the Knicks through the shredder. James Harden's stat line across four games is... rough. The coaching staff takes heat. And Kenny Atkinson already confirmed he's coming back next season, plus there are rumors of a Harden extension that have us concerned for Cleveland's future. 

The flopping debate is real. A San Antonio fan brought a mini Oscar for SGA. Jay Williams called it exhausting. Robert says put some defense back in the damn game and Adam Silver needs to call in some old heads to sort it out.  Plus: All-NBA teams are set, Jalen Brunson takes home the Larry Bird Trophy, the All-Rookie team is announced, and a man in Ohio jumps into a pond to save a mother and daughter — your Big Shot of the Week.  Then we run Conference Finals Chaos — a trivia game covering NBA history milestones from this postseason. Longest Finals drought, back-to-back champions, three-peat MVP winners, and more.

Big Shot Bob is back and he's got thoughts on everything — Kevin Durant's mounting reputation problem, a boxing night gone sideways, and the fight stories you didn't know you needed to hear.

This week on Shoot Around, Rob Jenners, Brandon Harper, and NBA legend Robert Horry break down the Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano Netflix disaster (17 seconds, folks), revisit the Mayweather-Pacquiao letdown, and get into whether KD is officially more trouble than he's worth — Colin Cowherd's "boat analogy" sets off a whole debate. Then it's athletes who threw it all away (Latrell Sprewell and Dennis Rodman get called out), Peyton Manning's diabolical trash talk strategy, and some genuinely unhinged public fight stories to close things out.

Plus: Horry on the worst smells he's ever encountered, Edwin Diaz and the cockfighting controversy, and Robert Horry quietly admitting he jumped on someone's bad knee and then stepped aside while they ran into a backboard. Just another week.

Robert Horry, Rob Jenners, and Brandon Harper are back for episode 260 of the Big Shot Bob Podcast — and they had to wait a day to drop it because the NBA couldn't stop cooking.

Victor Wembanyama dropped 41 points and 24 rebounds in a double-overtime thriller against OKC — including a pull-up three from basically the logo that had Robert Horry's jaw on the floor. The guys break down what it means for the West Finals, why Stephon Castle needs to cut the turnovers, and whether Alex Caruso was really the right guy to put on a 7-foot alien.

Then there's Cleveland. The Cavs had a 99.9% win probability with eight minutes left and handed it right back to Jalen Brunson and the Knicks. Robert Horry has strong feelings about James Harden, Kenny Atkinson's timeout usage, and what happens to Cleveland's chances if they don't wake Donovan Mitchell up.

Plus: Jason Kidd gets fired in Dallas, SGA wins back-to-back MVPs and showers the Thunder roster with AP watches and Burberry trench coats (Dream and Shaq could never), Shams Charania blows up Prime Video's big MVP moment, Anthony Edwards daps up the Spurs bench with eight minutes still on the clock, and Jamal Mosley lands a head coaching job faster than most guys find an apartment.

The crew also plays Championship Connection — a new game where Rob gives Robert Horry a championship team and finds out who he shared the floor with. The '96 Bulls, '03 Spurs, '04 Pistons and more come up. The answers will surprise you.

It's Friday, which means it's time for the bonus show. Episode 133 of Shoot Around kicks off with some genuinely surprising news — Alperen Sengun was voted the NBA's most overrated player by his own peers in The Athletic's annual poll. Seven-time champion Robert Horry weighs in on whether that reputation is fair, what Jeff Teague said about swag, and which players would actually top the overrated list if the guys had a vote.

Then it's straight into the Kevin Hart Roast — specifically the clips of Draymond Green catching shots from Tom Brady, Shane Gillis, Jeff Ross, and The Rock. The guys break down the best lines of the night and give Draymond his flowers for actually holding his own on the mic.

After that, a legendary clip courtesy of a listener: Vernon Maxwell on All The Smoke telling the full story of Hakeem Olajuwon slapping him in the locker room at halftime. Robert Horry was there for the Rockets at the time, so yeah — this one gets personal.

And then things take a turn. A Frontier Airlines plane struck a pedestrian who'd somehow made it onto the runway at Denver International Airport — and the guys react to the cockpit audio. From there, the show ends on a high note: the story of Jessica Holloway, the Tampa mom who set up a folding table at a U8 girls soccer game and started selling homemade wine to the other parents out of an Igloo cooler. Her menu included "Referee Tears" at $15 a jar. She was arrested. The guys are outraged on her behalf.

Seven-time NBA champion Robert Horry, B-Dog Brandon Harper, and Rob Jenners break down everything happening in the 2025 playoffs — and there's a LOT to get into on Episode 259.

The Thunder are rolling. OKC swept the Lakers to go 8-0 in the playoffs so far, doing it without Jalen Williams and doing it in convincing fashion. Big Shot Bob gives his honest take on LA's future — including whether Austin Reaves deserves $250 million, what LeBron's exit interview really signals, and why the Lakers keep running into the same wall every spring.

Then the guys get into Victor Wembanyama's elbow on Naz Reid — Rob makes the case he should've been suspended, and breaks down exactly why the NBA's handling of it sets a bad precedent. Should the league have at least hit him with a fine? Everyone agrees on that one. We also dig into what NOT suspending Wemby says about how the NBA protects its stars, and whether that chips away at what's fair for everyone else on the floor.

In the East, the Knicks swept the Sixers out — 25 threes, a 30-point blowout, and Knicks fans completely taking over Philly's arena. The boys break down what that team is actually capable of, and size up whoever's coming out of the Pistons-Cavs series to face them. Spoiler: neither team looks ready.

Plus: the Washington Wizards win the draft lottery, Draymond takes a shot at Charles Barkley on Inside the NBA (and the guys have some thoughts on that), Steve Kerr's Warriors extension, Jaylen Brown's $50K fine for calling out Joel Embiid on Twitch, and the Big Shout of the Week goes to a 73-year-old music teacher from England who remortgaged his house to save his neighborhood pub.

We close it out with this week's game — All-Time Playoff Runs — testing Big Shot Bob on some of the best postseason win streaks in NBA history. Does he know the Warriors' 2017 run better than he thinks? Let's find out.

It's a Friday, which means it's time for another Shoot Around — the show where we throw everything at the wall and see what sticks.

Big Shot Bob himself, Robert Horry, is back in the building for Episode 132, and this one goes all over the place. We kick things off reacting to Skip Bayless returning to First Take for a one-time reunion with Stephen A. Smith. Nobody asked for it, everybody's gonna watch it — including us. But it raises a fair question: are you tuning in because you actually enjoy them, or just because it's been so long that nostalgia has you by the throat?

From there we got into what TV reunions we'd actually want to see, which somehow turned into Rob getting volunteered — live, on the spot — to host a new version of NBA Inside Stuff with Ahmad Rashad's old job. He ran with it. Like, really ran with it. The man had co-host candidates locked and loaded (Cheryl Miller, Monica McNutt, and others get a mention), a vision for the show, and apparently more enthusiasm for a job he doesn't have than the one he does. Incredible.

Then things got weird. A United Airlines plane clipped a bakery truck on the Jersey Turnpike on approach to Newark — and we had the audio. That set off a whole conversation about terrifying aviation moments, NBA team charter planes, which franchises had the nicest setups (Dallas and Portland apparently had the goods), and the time Rob was sitting next to Butter Bean on a late-night flight when the guy in front of them went completely still and his wife lost her mind thinking he was dead. Spoiler: sleep paralysis.

A listener named Richie sent in a question after a wild JP Morgan story broke this week — a guy fabricated a sexual harassment case, it went everywhere before anyone fact-checked it, and the woman got dragged online for days before the truth came out. That opened the door for Rob to share a story he's apparently never told publicly: the time a woman he didn't even know filed a false harassment claim against him with the Lakers, complete with unsolicited fan mail that's... a lot. We won't spoil the details. But it ended with Rob's lawyer sorting it out after discovering the same woman had done it to three other people.

We wrapped up with a question from Vic about the Mandalorian movie dropping near May the 4th, Star Wars fatigue, and whether Marvel is stuck in the same trap — giving away so much for free on streaming that nobody wants to pay for the theatrical version anymore. Then, naturally, it was Cinco de Mayo (Taco Tuesday edition), which meant Rob had to explain a very chaotic night in Austell, Georgia, a sombrero, a man in a full Transformer outfit, and getting home at 3 AM.

Friday energy. All the way through.

Seven-time NBA champion Robert Horry and co-hosts Rob Jenners and Brandon Harper welcome CBS Sports and media personality Scoop B Robinson to episode 258 of the Big Shot Bob Podcast. The three dig into the second round of the 2025 NBA Playoffs — round-by-round breakdowns, trade intel, LeBron at 41, Ant Edwards off the bench, and a game of Walmart or Waffle House to close it out.

Scoop B comes in hot with insider knowledge on the Giannis trade market — including which teams are serious, which ones are bluffing, and why Portland might be more in the conversation than anyone wants to admit. Rob gives his honest PSA to LeBron James. And Harp asks whether Robert Horry's Rockets would've still won those championships even if MJ never went to play baseball. (Spoiler: Rob has no doubts.)

Plus: the Knicks embarrass the Hawks and the Sixers in back-to-back series, Ant Edwards earns a whole new level of respect by coming off the bench and letting a teammate cook, and the guys break down why Minnesota might be the most dangerous team left standing in the playoffs.

It's Friday and the Big Shot Bob crew is back with Episode 131 of Shoot Around — the weekly bonus show where Robert Horry, Rob Jenners, and B-Dog Brandon Harper dig into the questions YOU send in and whatever's on their minds.

This week kicks off with a debate born from the new Michael Jackson biopic hitting theaters: Start, Bench, Cut — MJ era edition. The Thriller era (1982–85), the Bad era (1987–89), and the Dangerous era (1991–94) are all on the table. Which era do you start? Which do you bench? Which do you cut? The guys break down their picks, argue over the greatest MJ music videos of all time (Smooth Criminal vs. Remember the Time), debate whether Chris Tucker was actually IN Smooth Criminal (he wasn't), and Harper goes deep on the Ghost mini-movie that almost nobody's seen. The verdict? Unanimous love for Thriller, but serious disagreement on whether Bad or Dangerous gets the bench.

Then the guys jump into the all-time greatest NBA coaches debate, sparked by Pat Riley making it clear at 81 years old that he has zero plans to retire or step aside. Phil Jackson, Pat Riley, Gregg Popovich, Don Nelson, Lenny Wilkins, Red Auerbach — who makes the cut? Robert Horry gives a unique firsthand perspective on Phil Jackson, including the detail that Phil literally never spoke to him during their championship runs together. There's also the Del Harris comparison — same roster, completely different results — and what that says about coaching being as much about managing personalities as drawing up plays.

A Reddit user's anti-tanking beer pricing proposal gets a quick airing, and then the crew weighs in on Diego Pavia going undrafted after representing himself at the NFL Draft — no agent, no deal. Robert Horry reflects on firing his own agent in 2001 and what he missed out on off the court despite winning six championships, and the guys debate whether being your own representative ever actually works when you're already fighting an uphill battle.

To close things out, a fan question about the best superhero shows ever made opens up a great conversation about Invincible (currently must-watch TV), The Boys, Smallville, The Flash, Dragon Ball Z, the upcoming Mortal Kombat film, and a He-Man movie trip that Robert Horry is already planning with his son. Plus — the case for a live-action Thundercats reboot that the world is clearly not ready for.

The NBA Playoffs are delivering chaos, history, and heartbreak — and Big Shot Bob Robert Horry, host Rob Jenners, and B-Dog Brandon Harper are breaking it ALL down on Episode 257 of the Big Shot Bob Podcast! The Orlando Magic are one win away from completing one of the most stunning upsets in NBA postseason history — knocking off the #1 seed Detroit Pistons as an 8-seed. What's gone wrong for Cade Cunningham and the Pistons, and can they save their season on home floor? Robert Horry knows something about coming back from 3-1 deficits — he lived it with the 1995 Houston Rockets.

The OKC Thunder close out the Phoenix Suns in a clean sweep, looking like the most complete team in the West. With SGA dropping 31 in the clincher and a bench that could start anywhere in the league, is anyone actually beating these guys? Then it's the Denver Nuggets fighting to stay alive against Minnesota — Joker posts a 27/16/12, Aaron Gordon goes OFF for 43 off the bench in Game 4, but the Timberwolves are healthy and hungry. Can Denver find a way? The guys debate coaching, defense, and whether the NBA owes us a Wemby vs. Jokic matchup.

In the East, the New York Knicks celebrate a Game 4 win with some famous Magic City Wings — and Lou Will has thoughts. Will Jalen Johnson step up for Atlanta in a hostile MSG environment? Robert Horry shares his perspective on why playing on the road was actually easier for him. In Philly, Joel Embiid returns from appendix surgery and the Sixers still get blown out by 32. Is it finally time for the 76ers to move on? And the Toronto Raptors have breathed life into their series against Cleveland — is Rob Jenners' "shaky branch" take looking more solid?

Plus — Victor Wembanyama goes down with a frightening fall in Game 2, misses Game 3, then comes back in Game 4 to put up a stat line only matched by Hakeem Olajuwon. His numbers? A real life category: 25+ points, 10+ rebounds, and 7+ blocks. At 22 years old. The guys close out with this year's NBA Award Winners — including the unanimous Defensive Player of the Year, Rookie of the Year, Most Improved Player, and the MVP race between Shay, Joker, and Wemby. And they play this week's trivia game: Off the Court — surprising hobbies and hidden talents of NBA legends, from Calvin Murphy's national championship to Karl Malone's CDL license.

Robert Horry (Big Shot Bob) is back for the Friday Shoot Around bonus episode, and he's got plenty to say about the NBA's end-of-season awards race! This week the MVP finalists are officially in — Nikola Jokic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and Victor Wembanyama — and Big Shot Bob doesn't hesitate with his pick.

Plus, the crew debates whether Wembanyama could make history by winning both MVP and Defensive Player of the Year in the same season (something only Michael Jordan has done), breaks down the Six Man of the Year and Most Improved Player finalists, and questions whether the NBA's Clutch Player of the Year award even means anything.

Then it's quiz time: can Robert Horry and Harper correctly name the top 15 best-selling NBA jerseys of the 2025–26 season? Cooper Flagg already cracking the top 10 as a rookie? Stephen Curry still at #1?! And to close things out, a fan question sparks one of the best debates of the season — Tracy McGrady, Penny Hardaway, or Grant Hill: who had the highest ceiling barring injury? Robert Horry actually played against all three and his live, on-the-spot answer might surprise you.

Topics Covered:

• NBA MVP finalists: Jokic, SGA & Wembanyama
• Can Wemby win MVP + DPOY in the same year?
• Six Man of the Year finalists
• Most Improved Player debate
• Clutch Player of the Year — a real award or just a participation trophy?
