Big Shot Bob Pod with Robert Horry

The bonus show is here, opening with a question about Dwyane Wade’s coming statue in Miami – as we ask Rob what player deserves a statue that doesn’t have one, and if he were ever to get a statue what it would look like. We also break down Kevin Durant’s “perfect starting lineup” and Rob disagrees with MOST of it. Plus Shaq said this week that Caitlin Clark needs to “wait her turn” and Rob immediately throws it back at Shaq who didn’t wait HIS turn, but also says there is nothing wrong with a young player taking over when they are playing well. Let’s just slow down the “how great they will be” conversation after just a year or two. Plus we ask Rob if the Sphere is the coolest venue in the country after that wild MMA walkout presentation during their last event. And we close it out with asking Rob about the strangest things he’s seen or eaten overseas with all his recent travels, which spins into a discussion about eating chicken feet, frogs legs, and Rob’s HILARIOUS story about eating horse before he knew it was horse!

Rob opens the show this week live from Manila in the Philippines, as he is traveling for another NBA event and repping American hoops overseas. And Harper comes in on a high after the Falcons beat the Eagles in Philadelphia on Monday night! We also jump into Steve Kerr’s comments about how much Boston fans are going to come for him this season after the Jayson Tatum drama at the Olympics, and Rob feels like opposing players will feed off that energy more than the home team so they can shut them up. That also gets into the story about Derrick White getting into a fight at the Colorado-Colorado State game this past weekend. And speaking of coaches, Kerr came in at #2 on the CBS Sports list of best NBA coaches, with Spoelstra coming in at #1, and JJ Redick finishing dead last – with Rob feels is justified because he has ZERO coaching experience. Rob also has a lot of love for A’ja Wilson after she shattered the WNBA single season scoring record, and how happy he is to have more eyes on the league now. And we wonder why the Brooklyn Nets are the betting leader to land Jimmy Butler when they are hanging their hats on Ben Simmons, and where Jimmy would better fit instead. Audio of the Week comes to us from the Shannon Sharpe Instagram sex mishap and how Ochocinco responded on their podcast! The NFL and college football topics this week go from Tua’s future, the worst officiating calls of the week, the Arch Manning hype and the futures of Billy Napier at Florida and Mike Norvell at FSU. Big Shot of the Week goes to the Chicopee, MA Police Department for helping build bridges with the kids in their community

Rob had a rough experience at a rental place with some dated furniture and no A/C, which got us all thinking about the things that remind us of our childhoods… everything from cars with no seatbelts to plastic on the furniture! And we immediately dive into one of the biggest stories of the week after Tyreek Hill got detained before the Dolphins game, including the crazy audio from the police body cam. Rob feels like both sides were at fault and how he advises his family to always comply with the police in the moment and deal with the fallout later, because you never know when an angry cop can make a situation a lot worse. And on the heels of the Tyreek incident we make our picks for this week’s Draft Kings Pick Six on the Dolphins-Bills game. We also touch on this ridiculous storyline from Windhorst about whether or not JJ Redick “believes” in Austin Reaves – and Rob says he believes in him coming off the bench and doing the job he was paid for, and how this is a typical BS offseason storyline. Plus there’s some audio of the big fella out there this week, as Shaq appeared on the Pat McAfee Show and said he doesn’t view Wemby as a “dominant” player. Rob agrees on the terms that you define dominance as guys who play with physical force, and it’s unfair to compare a guy like Wemby to Shaq. And some crazy audio from Angel Reese as she comes out on her show and talks about some of the wild hate that she’s received. There’s a lot to talk about from this wild NFL opening weekend, including Giants fans burning Daniel Jones jerseys after one week, the huge Raiders-Chargers fights, and everyone’s take on the announcement of Kendrick Lamar as the Super Bowl Halftime performer. And of course some of the college football fallout from Notre Dame to Michigan, and the Governor of New Hampshire gets the Big Shot of the Week for a wild reason! And we close it out with another classic match-up of Rapid Fire.

It’s a loaded bonus show this week, as we dive right into Kevin Garnett’s statement that the Phoenix Suns can win more than 47 games this year and Booker and Beal could be MVPs. Rob does not agree, but Harp and Jenners both think they can pull 50 wins. Listener questions this week come to B-Dog, about how much longer he thinks Trae Young will last in Atlanta, as the reality of the trade market just doesn’t exist for his contract. We also rank the all-time careers of James Harden, Russell Westbrook, Dwyane Wade and Chris Paul – and everyone has a different ranking for different reasons. In the aftermath of the Ricky Pearsall incident, listeners want to know if Rob has any flashy jewelry like a Rolex, and is he afraid to wear it out in public. Plus we help Mark Cuban remember the 2006 NBA Finals as he seems to be suffering from some revisionist history regarding Dwyane Wade, and after Joey Chestnut demolished 83 hot dogs in 10 minutes, we ask Rob what he could eat 83 of!

It’s a weird start to the show this week as everyone seems to be having some sort of insurance issue – which goes to prove that anyone from radio guys to former NBA stars, all have to deal with the same tiny issues in life. Of course we need to know if Rob thinks the Clippers stabbed Paul George in the back, as his father claimed this week… and Rob says NO it’s always just business, but the Clippers definitely screwed up this situation! And with our friends from Draft Kings coming back to the show this week, Rob gets in deep with his fantasy football competition this year and how he’s approaching it. Plus the news about the Philadelphia 76ers saying they are “seriously considering” moving to New Jersey is just a negotiation ploy to put some pressure on the city of Philadelphia to get a new stadium deal done. And with Steph signing his monster one-year extension, Rob says it sets him up for the end of his career in Golden State. Speaking of big paychecks, Shaq thinks the WNBA women should be paid what the men are getting – and while we love Shaq, and agree with that sentiment, he of all people knows that the WNBA isn’t there financially yet. And props to Angel Reese for breaking the WNBA single season rebound record. Plus some great college football audio from Brian Kelly, a random rant from Mike Gundy, and Rob’s good friend Dabo Swinney checked in with him after that tough loss to Georgia to say they are going to right the ship. There’s also an inspiring Big Shot of the Week to a brother who came through for his sister on a DIY – something Rob refuses to do anymore because he has money – and another hilarious installation of “Walmart or Waffle House”!

We open the bonus show by gauging Rob’s excitement and trepidation as the Crimson Tide kick off their first college football season without Nick Saban in a long time, and Rob is remaining optimistic about their playoff chances. And as the NBA asks to have the Warner Brothers Discovery lawsuit to be thrown out, B-Dog feels like this is a long play for younger viewers because so few people have traditional cable packages anymore. We also get Chet Holmgren’s “welcome to the NBA moment” and Rob reveals that his was not getting a call after getting a hard foul, and the ref looking at him like a little kid for even looking for the foul. He also shares an AMAZING story about sharing the court with Michael Jordan and how he was well aware that he was getting calls that others weren’t. Plus after Adam Sandler was seen hooping in a local NYC neighborhood, we ask Rob about his favorite celebrities to hoop with. And did you see the Six Flags Mexico ride that got stuck 250 feet in the air in the middle of a nasty storm?? It gets us into the conversation about Robert Horry and roller coasters. Plus we put the guys to the test and see if they can dial up the Top 20 rated players in the new NBA 2K25.

We are BACK from our break – after taking a week off for Rob’s 54th birthday (where he restaurant hopped and drank too much), and Rob’s NBA trip to China for youth basketball camps. We get all the recaps of Rob’s escapades, before we dive into the insane rumor of the week, that the Lakers are already angling for a way to get Luka Doncic after LeBron hangs it up. And Rob and B-Dog both agree that this will never happen. Plus we get into the drama surrounding Anthony Edwards after he said Jordan was the only guy “back in the day” who had any skill, as Magic Johnson responded live on stage, and Rob says it’s the ignorance of youth who never got to see those guys play. Kevin Garnett also rocked the NBA boat this week by saying Giannis was the 4th best player in the East – even though he could only come up with two guys who are better – and Rob asks who we would roll with when fully healthy. Angel Reese just scored herself a new podcast and a partnership with Reese’s, which continues to showcase the main stream rise of the WNBA! And Sheryl Swoops got into it with Stephen A Smith over the women’s league this week, which continues to show how relevant the WNBA conversation is in sports today. College Football season is also back, and we couldn’t help but dive into the Deion Sanders story, as he had a reporter banned from asking questions, and Harper feels like Deion needs to leave Colorado to redeem a bigger program to get his clout back. Plus an inspiring Big Shot of the Week to a Kentucky teacher with a huge heart, and a fun round “That’s Some BS”, College Football edition!

We open the bonus show this week with audio of Stephen Adams - who appeared on a podcast this week and admitted he claimed to not speak English to avoid Kevin Garnett's trash talk. Rob talks about getting into it with KG on the floor but it was actually Charles Barkley who talked the most trash to him. Plus with Nike releasing Michael Jordan's eye-popping earnings from 2023, we ask Rob about missed investment opportunities, and Rob admits he had the chance to get in on the ground floor for Under Armor and Home Depot and missed out! Donovan Mitchell said this week that Stephen A's critique of his game is what motivated him, and Rob had a similar encounter with the legend Dick Vitale. And was Rob ever as unqualified as the Olympic break dancer that went super viral this week? He says his first times on TV were the only times he felt uneasy about doing something in sports. And with Cee Dee Lamb being a friend of Rob's family, we pick his brain about where that young man stands with his holdout, and how Dallas has fumbled this process with a few of its biggest stars. Finally a weird southern moment on the Tennessee Titans broadcast puts Rob's southern vernacular to the test, and we wonder how good will Spaceball 2 be now that it's announced.

We open a huge show this week with Rob having missed all the closing ceremonies, the idea of renting his house out for the Olympics in LA, and how he was taunting us from the front row of a Dodgers game last week. And of course we get into a huge breakdown of Team uSA, who won the gold but not without a lot of drama. Rob sounds off on the leaded audio of LeBron calling out Steve Kerr in the locker room, and agrees that on both the men’s team and women’s team there was a lot of bias from coaches who were playing the players they know. And Rob challenges the idea that only NBA coaches should be coaching Team USA, but if it has to be an NBA coach then it should be someone who doesn’t have any of their own players on the team. Recapping the gold medal game was easy, as we just relive Steph’s amazing daggers against France to bring it home. And amongst all that drama, B-Dog feels like LeBron is still the leader of that team… but Rob says it isn’t enough to be a leader on the floor, it has to count in the locker room too. But it didn’t mean much to Steve Kerr, who was anxious to throw flowers at the GOAT’s feet, even though LeBron was undermining him to the entire team. And we put the wraps on the Olympics by debating who the next group of guys are to pick up the mantle of Team USA. In NBA news, the Christmas Day games were announced – some great, some just okay – and how the NFL is coming for the NBA’s Christmas Day tradition. Giannis feels some sort of way about the Christmas schedule, as the Bucks weren’t included, and Rob is really in “show me” mode with that team now because they are always hurt. Plus Noah Lyles had a week, after he won the gold, then got Covid, then went clubbing, and finally having an article drop about how disrespected he felt to be invited to Anthony Edwards Adidas event. That even spurred the Cheetah, Tyreek Hill, who went from wanting to support him, to wanting to race him and beat him. Preseason football brings us the new kickoff rule, and with the Carolina Panthers plane sliding off the runway, Rob recounts a college plane flight where they all thought they were going to die. Finally the Big Shot of the Week to Magic guard Cole Anthony for giving back to his community, and very funny and odd round of a new game called Bet On Yourself.
