Big Shot Bob – Ep 160 – Man of the People

It’s a full NBA Playoff Preview on this week’s show, and we open things up with Mike Greenberg’s comments about the Lakers “tanking” the play-in game so they can try to get the #8 seed to face OKC instead of taking the #7 seed and facing Denver… and Rob AGREES with him! We debate the merit of playing the tougher teams early instead of late, and dive deep into all the play-in games and first round matchups. Rob says that the Thunder are young, but they are NOT ready, and thinks the 8 seed in the West will  have a legit shot to knock them out in the first round. And Rob and B-Dog debate the merit of Rudy Gobert in the playoffs, how entertaining the Clippers-Mavericks series will be, and what will happen to the Bucks without Giannis in the opening round. We also throw some props to Victor Wembanyama and take an eye-opening look at Caitlin Clark’s rookie deal with the WNBA. Plus some amazing audio from Boban’s missed free throw that won Clippers fans free chicken, and a fun new game called “Imposter” where Rob and B have to sniff out the NBA player that does not belong in the category.

Unafraid of the big moment… unafraid to take the big shot… and unafraid to ask the big questions. A 7-time NBA champion, Robert Horry performed his best when the stakes were the highest. Now he’s taking a look into greatness from all walks of life, from athletes and celebrities to the families in our neighborhoods. Learning who superstars are behind their celebrity from all cross sections of sports and culture. And find out who inspires greatness amongst their family and community.
