Big Shot Bob Pod with Robert Horry

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?

They answer a question about Craig Sager, reacting to a Kevin Garnett clip roasting Sager’s suit and sharing Rob’s personal story of crossing paths with Sager through Sager’s wife and an old college connection, emphasizing how widely loved Sager (and Ernie Johnson) were around the NBA. The episode also covers personalized license plates (including Rob’s former “Seven Rings” plate), a humorous Zoom court clip where a judge catches a woman lying about driving, and a headline about cocaine traces found in sharks near the Bahamas, prompting a debate about the scariest animal to face on cocaine.

They recap college hoops including UCLA women’s blowout of South Carolina, Michigan’s title run built via transfers, debate NIL money, portal movement, coach/player accountability, and discuss a Trump executive order proposal limiting transfers and eligibility.

The conversation shifts to the Lakers as Luka suffers a grade-2 left hamstring strain and AR an oblique strain, then covers standings, the 65-game awards rule, Giannis vs. the Bucks investigation, Jokic’s historic stat pace, WNBA’s Angel Reese trade to the Dream, anti-tanking lottery proposals, a “knockoff candies” game inspired by a stolen Kit Kat truck, and a Big Shot of the Week honoring Texas dads who bought a crossing guard a car.

Robert Horry and the crew open Friday’s shootaround with a discussion of LA Sparks star Kelsey Plum launching a verified AI “digital twin” for real-time conversations, and debate what it says about modern social interaction and who from history they’d want to talk to via AI (including Thurgood Marshall), while also questioning whether they’d want a digital version of a deceased parent.

They pivot to a listener question about whether Joel Embiid deserves slack for early-career missed seasons, noting he’s played 91 games since winning MVP and arguing games still count because he was paid. The episode shifts to “dumbest fight” stories sparked by a wild Florida pickleball dispute, including Horry’s bar argument over an autograph and a college brawl after a spilled beer, before ending on Afroman’s police-raid saga, his defamation-court win, and his response through diss tracks and a patriotic tuxedo.

They discuss the Lakers’ recent run, Luka’s historic scoring stretch, and a rescinded technical tied to trash talk, which leads into Draymond Green responding on his podcast after Horry referenced him as an example of players talking to refs without getting teched; the hosts debate whether Draymond took the example personally and consider inviting him on.

They cover Cade Cunningham’s collapsed lung and what it means for Detroit’s postseason hopes, recap March Madness upsets and viral moments (including High Point’s win and Kevin Willard’s “fire my staff” joke), note Kevin Durant passing Michael Jordan on the all-time scoring list, run through NBA standings and worst transactions rankings, mention OKC’s planned “Continental Coliseum,” highlight Jimmy Darts’ charity story, and play a “Fake News” headline game sparked by a bizarre cornhole-related crime story.

The group then notes Steve Kerr winning an Oscar as an executive producer for the documentary short "All The Empty Rooms" and pivots to a discussion of the Warriors’ middling results since 2019, attributing decline to aging, injuries, roster changes, low draft picks, and shifting blame from coaches to talent.

Listener prompts lead into favorite movie fight/chase scenes (Matrix Reloaded, Daredevil hallway fight, Thanos vs. Hulk, John Wick, The Equalizer, Indiana Jones) and superhero video game ideas (X-Men/Cyclops, Gambit, Deadpool, Blade). They also debate ideal Oscars snack boxes and where they’d eat after a big win, referencing Michael B. Jordan going to In-N-Out, before joking about celebrity access and Horry’s humility.

The show hits breaking NFL news about the Broncos trading for WR Jaylen Waddle, then shifts to Alabama’s Aiden Holloway arrest and NCAA tournament thoughts (including St. John’s, Duke injuries, Florida, and Arkansas). They discuss likely NBA expansion to Seattle and Vegas with potential conference realignment, Wembanyama’s MVP/DPOY ambitions, Luka’s late-game heroics with Austin Reaves’ surge, Atlanta’s 10-game win streak, and Joel Embiid reaching a 50/50 games-played milestone, before honoring a GoFundMe “Big Shot of the Week” and playing “Black Crime or White Crime.”

The conversation shifts to Spurs talk, with Horry pushing back on claims that he hates San Antonio, explaining his take on why he doesn’t have Wemby as his MVP and naming his MVP as “Brown,” while still praising the Spurs, Pop, and the 2005 championship team.

They discuss the Chicago Bears potentially moving about 25 miles south to Hammond, Indiana, while likely keeping the “Chicago Bears” name, comparing it to New York teams playing in New Jersey and noting Indiana’s willingness to fund a new stadium. The group also talks about which franchises should never move, highlighting the St. Louis Cardinals and San Diego Padres, and briefly noting the Braves’ move within the Atlanta area. In NBA rules talk, they react to Paul Pierce’s idea of an LED three-point line that turns on and off during games, calling it too gimmicky and better suited to celebrity or All-Star-style events.

The episode also covers UFL rule changes, including a four-point field goal for kicks over 60 yards and banning punts once a team crosses midfield, with the hosts debating whether the NFL might adopt similar ideas and joking about how it would affect Super Bowl squares. Off the court, they break down MLB Players Association executive director Tony Clark resigning after an internal investigation revealed an improper relationship with his sister-in-law, and they react to Mad Dog Russo’s defense while debating how personal life should intersect with employment consequences.

The crew talks about how stars handle public attention, why it’s tough to approach athletes when they’re with family, and the realities of getting recognized in places like airports and theme parks.

They break down the NBA’s new All-Star Game format, praising the shorter, high-intensity setup and crediting the players—especially Victor Wembanyama and Anthony Edwards—for setting a competitive tone. They also criticize the World team’s lack of energy, debate whether a 1-on-1 or 2-on-2 tournament could work, and agree the dunk contest was the worst in memory, brainstorming fixes like having personalities such as Shaq and Kenny “draft” and scout dunkers nationwide since superstars won’t risk losing.

The episode shifts to Pat Riley’s statue unveiling at Crypto.com Arena and Riley’s push for coaches (and benches) to bring back suits and ties, followed by a harsh look at the Lakers after getting blown out by the Celtics on Riley night and James Worthy’s postgame “no heart” comments. They discuss Boston’s defensive approach, the Lakers’ struggles versus top teams, and criticize the team’s effort and urgency—singling out Luka Doncic’s perceived laziness on defense—while previewing the next matchup and noting the looming impact of the 65-game awards eligibility rule on stars like Embiid and others. They also touch on Lindsay Vonn’s severe leg injuries, Michael Jordan’s NASCAR team winning the Daytona 500 and the viral celebration clip that sparked online speculation, Charles “Ko” seeking to play again via the Alabama Supreme Court, and a Barkley “New York Dicks” Inside the NBA moment.

Standings updates include the Thunder and Spurs separating in the West, Detroit leading the East, and a rough stretch for the Kings and Bulls. Big Shot of the Week goes to Team USA hockey for winning Olympic gold in overtime and honoring the late Johnny Gaudreau by bringing his young children onto the ice for the team photo. The show closes with a mascot-themed game inspired by the Olympics’ mascots, running through real vs. fake team mascots across sports, and ending on Robert Horry’s favorite mascot (Denver’s Rocky) and the story of Rocky surviving a parachuting accident.
