Robert Horry and the crew kick off Shoot Around episode 124 with jokes and impressions before jumping into a pop quiz: the only NBA player to win a scoring title, rebounding title, blocks title, Rookie of the Year, MVP, Defensive Player of the Year, an NBA championship, and an Olympic gold medal—revealed to be David Robinson. 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.

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.
