Big Shot Bob – Shoot Around Ep 87 – Which Trash Bag Smells The Worst

We start out the bonus show this week with a topic about floor generals, with a question centered on Chris Paul and other standout players like Rajon Rondo, Kyle Lowry, and Tony Parker. Despite Chris Paul frequently dominating such lists, Rob made a surprising nod to Rondo, highlighting his exceptional court vision and ability to facilitate plays, likening Rondo's significant impact during his Boston Celtics days as part of a "big four."

 

We then turn the focus to contemporary stars, sparked by Jeff Teague’s rankings on the Club 250 Podcast. His top picks included Nikola Jokic, Jason Tatum, Luka Dončić, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. This assembly fostered a debate, particularly about Luka's defense, with Rob pointing out the importance of two-way play—a relentless topic in basketball circles about offensive and defensive proficiency. Plus we get into others deserving mention, like Donovan Mitchell and the ageless LeBron James, who continues to impress with his performance at nearly 40 years old. Rob reserved particular praise for Mitchell, noting his all-around game and contributions to his team’s success.

 

We close it out with frequently quoted favorite films. Blending humor with nostalgia, the co-hosts shared lines from “Tommy Boy,” “Friday,” and “Talladega Nights,” underscoring how these movies remain entrenched in cultural memory. Such discussions illustrate how sports and popular culture often intertwine, offering listeners both laughter and a break from intense sports debates.

Big Shot Bob - Ep 206 – It’s Not The Wand, It’s The Magician

This week, we start with Rob's trip to China, where he enjoyed both the picturesque ocean views and the local hospitality. Upon returning stateside, he enjoys the reality of the Atlanta Braves' current slump, which sets the stage for some comical deflection via the "horrible high-low game" later in the podcast. From there we spin off into the MLB debate of the week about “torpedo bats” and of course things take a strange turn during the debate.

 

Then it’s on to the free-for-all Pistons versus Timberwolves brawl and the bewildering firing of Memphis Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins. What’s the logic behind the Grizzlies' decision to fire a coach amid a successful season? We break down the possible reasons, oscillating between player-coach dynamics and organizational politics. Next, it’s on to college basketball, where the ever-vocal Kim Mulkey stirred the pot with her candid response to a student reporter’s question after LSU was eliminated in the Elite Eight for the second straight year. Mulkey asked the reporter, "How many final fours have you played in?" creating a divide between those who see it as a humorous quip and those who take offense. It's all about expectations and perception as our hosts unpack the nuances of Mulkey's response.

 

Wrapping up, the team goes through current NBA standings and playoff aspirations, pondering the fate of the Lakers and the remaining playoff hopefuls. Additionally, Harper raises a cheer for the Atlanta Hawks, hoping they’ll snag a play-in spot and bring some much-needed postseason excitement to ATL. It wouldn’t be a sports discussion without stats and records, right? The crew gamely tackled a "horrible high-low game" focusing on dismal sports records across history: Chris Dudley's free-throw foibles, the New York Mets' losing streak, or even the Prairie View A&M’s infamous 10-year losing streak.

Big Shot Bob – Shoot Around Ep 86 – That Used To Be My Boy

Rob opens the discussion by recounting a moment many athletes hope for—the tribute video. A gesture of appreciation that often comes with a mix of emotions, as it did for Robert when the Lakers offered him one. It stems from Jimmy Butler’s return to Miami – and given his impact in taking the team to the Finals, albeit without clinching the championship, the consensus seems to be a resounding "yes," with a focus on patching historical ties and community affection.

 

We also touch on the loss of boxing legend George Foreman, remembered not only for his prowess in the ring but also for his entrepreneurial success with the George Foreman Grill. This reflective segment prompts a look at favorite boxers, with figures like Roy Jones Jr., Mike Tyson, and Sugar Ray Leonard receiving nods for their impact on both sports and pop culture. A lively debate emerges about the challenges of securing major titles, with a particular focus on the NCAA versus NBA titles. The discussion expands to compare different sports championships, emphasizing the rigorous path and elements faced in NFL playoffs and college football.

 

Closing with a humorous twist, the show turns to the peculiar injuries athletes sometimes endure off the court. From the infamous incidents like Amari Stoudemire's fire extinguisher mishap to Matt Strom's packing-induced injury, it's a reminder of the unexpected challenges athletes face even in the most mundane tasks. Shaquille O’Neal's playful knife injury story rounds out this section, shedding light on the lighter side of professional sports.

Big Shot Bob – Ep 205 – All The Pauls

We kick things off discussing Rob's recent world travels and his unexpected meet-up in Las Vegas with a fellow basketball star. Something that stood out was the engaging discussion on the concept of "two-way players" in the NBA, a term both Robert Horry and Alicia Clark seem to dislike. The focus then shifts towards the Cleveland Cavaliers and the mixed opinions on their playoff readiness. Patrick Beverly’s comments that "Offense sells tickets. Defense wins championships" sparked intense debate amongst the crew.

 

The conversation takes a swift turn towards the Los Angeles Lakers' recent performances, with insight from Uncle Shannon. The ongoing issues with their defense, their inconsistencies, and the importance of staying out of the play-in tournament are scrutinized. The Lakers' battle for consistency and effort is a poignant point of analysis. They seem to oscillate between putting up spirited defense displays and succumbing to laxity.

 

And with the Sweet 16 set in place, all eyes are on the teams that have made it this far. Seven SEC teams in the Sweet 16 underscore the prowess of the conference this year. Rob shares his predictions, staunchly supporting Florida and Tennessee’s tenacity and unique game styles. However, the room is divided when hot topics like Duke’s reputation in college basketball come up — is college basketball better with or without teams like Duke making strong runs? Chris Paul’s impressive endurance as the second oldest player (almost 40) in the NBA is recognized, despite a career without an NBA championship. And will we ever find out who the busty redhead behind Rick Pitino was? Danny Hurley’s outburst is also a funny point of conversation, especially after the UConn CID threatened to ruin the life of the reporter who posted it. And the show wouldn’t be complete without a round of "Walmart or Waffle House"!

Big Shot Bob – Shoot Around Ep 85 – Typewriter in Dutch

Kicking off the episode, Rob and the crew delve into the pressing question: "Is James Harden enough to get the Clippers to the Western Conference Finals?" Rob’s candid response shows skepticism, especially in light of key player Kawhi Leonard's uncertain status. This discussion highlights not just Robert's analytical prowess but also his penchant for direct conversations about team dynamics and playoff potential. And as we dive into March Madness, Rob dissects the intimidating reputation UConn holds among competitors, prompting discussions about current players like Juju Watkins at USC and the ongoing competitions that shape the basketball landscape.

 

The discussion takes an entertaining turn when Brian Scalabrini's recent showdown at New York's legendary West 4th Street Courts is brought into the spotlight. Known for his undying competitive spirit, Scalabrini, at 47, takes on a streetballer who claims New York supremacy and embarrasses the hell out of him. And as a newest member of the Grizzlies, Yuki Kawamura faces a unique challenge—language. Currently picking up English under the mentorship of Ja Morant, Kawamura amusingly and perhaps unfortunately, has learned only colorful phrases so far. This leads to a broader conversation on languages everyone wishes to learn, highlighting the entertaining linguistic misadventures and cultural exchanges that come with cross-border collaborations.

 

Capping off the episode is a nostalgic journey through sporting greatness. Robert and the guys reminisce about witnessing athletic legends live; from Serena Williams' grace on the tennis court to Michael Jordan dropping 50 points at a Bulls game. These reflections not only speak to the indescribable excitement that legendary performances invoke but also celebrate the remarkable careers that continue to inspire. The crew discusses players they wish they'd seen live—Dr. J, Gale Sayers, and more. These wishes illustrate a deep respect for the game’s evolution and history, emphasizing the impact sports heroes have beyond the court or field.

Big Shot Bob – Ep 204 – Thank God for Towels

The episode kick-starts with the notorious Robert Horry recounting his hectic travel schedule. From the Big Ten Tournament action in Indiana to Vegas and then off to China, Robert traded stories of jet lag and travel woes, shedding light on the busy lifestyle of a retired athlete turned commentator. As the clock turns to March, the team can't help but buzz about the NCAA tournaments. Robert's affinity for Texas Tech stands out, while the group discusses the current college basketball landscape, reliving the trials and triumphs of teams like Duke and Alabama. Brackets are on the agenda, with the hosts even contemplating show brackets to keep the spirit of competition alive.

 

A significant portion of the podcast is dedicated to dissecting NBA officiating controversies. The crew analyzes Detroit Pistons' coach JD Bickerstaff's fiery outburst over perceived bias in officiating. There's a heartfelt discussion on players like Shaa Gil, LeBron James, and the inequality of foul calls, highlighting the systemic issues in NBA referee culture. Plus we joke about

Shaquille O'Neal's slip-up of attributing Chauncey Billups as the coach of the Pistons when it's actually JD Bickerstaff sparked laughter and light-hearted trolling from social media. The crew reflects on how quickly the NBA coaching carousel spins, connecting the dots between coaching situations around the league.

 

The podcast ventures into the NBA playoff race, with speculation around the fluctuating fortunes of the Lakers, who have dropped to the 5th seed amid LeBron's injury. Similarly, the resurgence of teams like the Timberwolves and Warriors sparks predictions about potential playoff outcomes. The inclusion of Jimmy Butler seems to have injected new energy into the Warriors, while the Timberwolves, led by the duo of Ant Man and Julius Randle, are clicking at the right moment. The Mavericks can't catch a break with a litany of injuries, including Kyrie Irving, and a fascinating discussion unfolds on how the team copes. Beyond injuries, the Mavs' decision-making comes into question, especially with their much-maligned AI hype video failing to resonate with fans.

 

This week’s "Big Shot of the Week" title goes to three-year-old Bridger Peabody for his heroic action saving his grandmother. His incredible bravery in retrieving a phone to call 911 after she suffered a serious fall left a mark, emphasizing that even the youngest among us can perform life-saving deeds. As customary, the show wraps with a light-hearted Rapid Fire segment. Robert Ory reigns victorious this week, leaving everyone in smiles and setting the tone for next week’s showdown.

Big Shot Bob - Shoot Around Ep 84 - Comin For Rob's NBA Pension

Kicking things off, let's tackle Stephen A. Smith's list of the best current NBA duos. Recognizing Tatum and Brown from Boston, LeBron and Luka, Jokic and Murray, Giannis and Dame, and surprisingly, Steph and Jimmy Butler. Do any duos get left out? Our debate focuses on whether Steph and Jimmy belong on this list or if LeBron and Luka's new partnership qualifies. Personally, I lean towards Jokic and Murray as they're a dynamic duo that complements each other well, akin to legendary pairs like Shaq and Kobe or MJ and Scottie.

 

Now, onto some lighter fare—TV shows. Missing out on cult favorites like Game of Thrones and shows like Paradise might get you dogged by friends, but hey, everyone has their preferences. And finally, the bizarre true crime story of Aaron Goodwin from Ghost Adventures. His wife allegedly hatched a plan to hire a hitman to kill him, only getting caught due to monitored messages from an inmate accomplice. This strange tale prompts a dark but intriguing question: if you received a call about someone plotting against you, who would you suspect? Would a family member, a friend, or perhaps a stranger be out to get you?
