Big Shot Bob Pod with Robert Horry

Somehow the bonus show kicks off with a discussion about Girl Scout Cookies and which ones torture us more than others. Plus Jenners has a list of NBA stars that have scored the most points without logging any assists, and while Kobe was on this list, Rob says he never had that issue with Kobe because Kobe was always looking for him. Also, listener questions this week include the Bucks terrible record under Doc Rivers (and how long he can last if it continues), has Rob ever been postered by a signature dunker, and who agrees with Barkley that Kevin Durant is a follower and not a leader. And we close things out with our most recent show recommendations, including Stranger Things, You and the newest installment of True Detective.

We open up this week with the news that Rob’s son Christian is committed to UCLA! Rob is thrilled because it’s where he wanted to play and it’s a great school, even though there’s an allure to play at USC because his mom’s and alumni and Bronny is there. Plus everyone piles on the All-Star Game after a very poor showing by the NBA’s best players – after no one tried, they tossed up ridiculous three-point shots, and Rob says the only solution is to scrap the game entirely and do something new. And Rob wants to see more of the women’s players involved in the All-Star festivities because it will keep the weekend in the spirit of fun and inclusion. LeBron to the Warriors was the story of the week that wasn’t actually a story, as Rob says he doesn’t see any road where LeBron actually leaves LA before he retires. And Rob’s best friend Ty Lue saying he wants to kick the refs earned him a $35K fine, along with the Nets dismissing Jaques Vaughn as Brooklyn remains in purgatory. The Big Shot of the Week goes to a South Bend police officer who saved a dog who had its snout zip-tied shut, and a hilarious round of Black Crime or White Crime during Black History Month!

We tip off the Shoot Around this week by looking at the Obi Toppin dunk fail against the Knicks, which spins us into a conversation about how we fail trying to show off… and it always seems involve trying to impress a girl. Rob is asked who is to blame for the Duncan Robinson-Jaylen Brown fight over the weekend, because it got ugly quickly, and Rob thinks it was a freak accident but didn’t like the angle of how Robinson’s arm went back. We also get listener questions about when we are willing to admit the Warriors dynasty is over, what cities are the best to host events like this weekend’s NBA All-Star game, break-up protocol after Marcus Jordan and Larsa Pippen have apparently split, and how excited we are for the Deadpool & Wolverine movie.

It’s a huge Super Bowl after show for the guys, as we talk about Beyonce, Patrick Mahomes, and a huge debate breaks out about the definition of a “dynasty” in sports. Plus B-Dog believes Patrick Mahomes is the greatest quarterback of all-time after that win, which the Robs don’t agree with due to his young age, but everyone does agree that Usher killed it at the halftime show performance. And we laugh at the fact that neither team understood the new overtime rules, and B-Dog has a bone to pick with Kyle Shannahan. Oh yeah, and we actually talk basketball on the show, as Rob does NOT like the addition of Spencer Dinwiddie to the Lakers because he can’t figure out how they’re going to use him. We also jump into some of the bigger splash moves from the trade deadline, the buzz about Trae Young’s future in Atlanta, and how much Rob enjoyed the unveiling of the Kobe statue and where the three statues will go. The LA Fire Department gets our Big Shot of the Week for a daring river rescue, and with Valentine’s Day this week we play a game called “Heart Broken” about the biggest losses sports fans have ever suffered.

We open the bonus show this week by looking at the players that have already been eliminated from season awards due to the new rules. And Rob uses the opportunity of Embiid’s injury to make a case for Jayson Tatum, while B-Dog throws his support behind Anthony Edwards. LeBron also gave a bunch of advice for the “younger generation” and Rob says  he’s offered the same advice before also – and adds that staying in college with NIL is better than the G-League, and also learn to interact with the media. Another listener question brings up a debate about coaches (like Doc Rivers) that shouldn’t get another shot to coach, and within that question we debate the value of “coaching trees”.  Rob also regrets not taking a free Super Bowl ticket after finding out the walk-in price for a ticket, and we close with the Kentucky player who kisses the Tennessee player in the middle of an on-court skirmish.

Rob is getting hammered with rain in Southern California and is afraid of having to dodge falling rocks and mudslides in the unprecedented Cali weather. Plus Rob weighs in on the loss of Vanderbilt for the Lakers, and how their bench seems to find ways to step up on nights when LeBron and AD are out of the starting lineup. And Rob has some laughs about LeBron raising everyone’s eyebrows with the Knicks towel and social media shenanigans this week. The loss of Joel Embiid will clearly hurt Philly, but Rob thinks they are going to take a big step back because of their upcoming schedule. We also dive into the fact that we’ve been sleeping on the Cavaliers, why Rob turned down a FREE ticket to the Super Bowl, and why he hasn’t capitalized on knowing Usher’s manager to both bet on the Halftime Show and also get him on this podcast. A really inspiring Big Shot of the Week all the way from the UK, and we see if Rob and B-Dog can remember where iconic NBA superstars ended their careers.

Rob and Rob were both featured in "Gone Before His Time: Kobe Bryant" as we reflect on four years since we lost Kobe, Gianna and seven souls in that terrible accident. We discuss an article about the lessons learned in life and basketball from Kobe - including how to stay on a team and still win, hard work winning over talent, and how everyone wants to embrace "the Mamba Mentality" even in the smallest of areas. Kevin Durant said he didn't want a tribute video in his return to Brooklyn, so we discuss where he (and others) DO deserve one. Big Chris asks Rob, would you rather win a bunch of titles for one team, or would you rather win a title with every different team you play for? Rob wants the dynasty of winning in multiple cities. Plus Snoop's Top 5 active players, what moves Rob wants to see by the deadline whether its Dejounte Murray or Kyle Lowry, and why Rob is irrationally terrified of small private planes.

Rob and the crew are back, and immediately try to figure out why the Bucks fired Adrian Griffin and why they chose to retread Doc Rivers as their next head coach – and Rob thinks that there was more happening behind the scenes than anyone knows. And after Luka hung 73 on the Hawks, we go deep on the lack of NBA defense over the last decade, with some stats that are eye opening for NBA fans. Plus we talk to Georgia Tech basketball head coach and NBA legend Damon Stoudamire, who lays out stories about playing against Rob, the guys he used to hate facing in the league, the state of today’s game, and what drew him back to college basketball. And like almost every NBA star we have on the show, he can name every player drafted ahead of him! Of course we jump into the wild NFL playoff weekend, hand out an inspiring Big Shot of the Week, and wrap things up with a little round of NBA high/low!

We open the Shoot Around this week by diving into the Kelly Stafford drama coming out of the Lions-Rams game a couple of weeks ago, as she claims her children were booed by Lions fans... and Rob says he had that talk with his kids a long time ago because it's part of his profession. We also answer a listener question about how much we talk to ourselves, and we both confess that we do so more in the car than anywhere else. Jay Gruden vs RGIII brings up the topic of Rob's long standing beefs, our final meals if we were on death row, and how long the hot water lasts in our house after the story about the Chiefs claiming the Bills turned off their hot water.

Rob and Rob open the show this week by talking about Joel Embiid going off for 70 points, and KAT putting up 62 in a losing effort and becoming an afterthought. We’re also joined by an NBA legend in Dominique Wilkins who talks about the state of the Hawks, the reality of seeing your statue outside the arena you played in, the evolution of the NBA game today and specifically the lack of defense. Nique also jokes with Rob about the days they used to face off, how he feels like all the guys who made the 75th team should be in the GOAT conversation, guys who shoot too many threes and the games he used to cook Robert Horry! Rob also talks about the trade rumors around Dejounte Murray and how that affects the way he plays. Plus we get into the NFL Playoffs, recapping a wild division round weekend, the Bills kicker, Jason Kelce stealing the spotlight from Taylor Swift and who we think plays for a Super Bowl. The post-game presser uncovers that Rob lived in a college dorm that DIDN’T allow girls, a dilemma about a teammate’s girlfriend being promiscuous, Victor Wenbanyama’s bedtime and movies they’ve made too many of.
