Big Shot Bob Pod with Robert Horry

Syracuse coach Fran Brown got in a ref's face and gave him the flinch, like he was about to swing. The ref didn't move. He just threw the flag. So on this week's Shoot Around, Robert Horry, Rob Jenners and Brandon "Harp" Harper go through the biggest loser moves they've seen from a coach, and Robert tells two stories we'd never heard: why he told his high school coach there was no way he was visiting Bobby Knight at Indiana, and the time Gene Keady cut him and Grant Hill from a team so he could keep a roster full of Big Ten players.
Shaq is officially an honorary FBI agent now (his advice to the graduating class was to arrest Charles Barkley), so a listener wanted to know what we'd chase if we weren't doing this. Chef, lawyer and, from Harp, marine biologist, right up until a big enough roach walks by. That leads to safaris, deep sea fishing and why at least one of us will never be that far from land again.
Then a listener sends in the Robins: Kyrie, Wade, Klay, Pippen and AD. Robert makes the case that Kobe was a Robin on the Shaq teams and Rob isn't having it. We also watch an influencer box a remote-controlled Terminator and lose badly, and go through Bleacher Report's all-overpaid team. Robert explains why Christian Braun was better off the bench, and the Embiid contract gets scarier the further out you look.
Shoot Around drops every Friday. Catch the full Tuesday episode of the Big Shot Bob Podcast, with Jalen Duren's $200 million decision, East vs. West, our college football picks and Walmart or Waffle House, on the main channel. Got a question or a story for us? Send it our way and we'll get to it.
