Big Shot Bob Pod with Robert Horry

We open show 135 with Rob continuing to deny that his nudge got Dez Bryant kicked off of World’s Toughest Test. We’ll never let him live it down. And while we aren’t thrilled about starting the show with Dillon Brooks, it’s clear to everyone that he’s trying way too hard to make a name for himself, even though Rob says he didn’t think that shot to the groin was...

We’re back for the Friday bonus show! And as the season closes in, we open with Rob and B-Dog trying to guess the most expensive NBA payrolls going into the year.

We open the show by talking about Rob bowing out on World’s Toughest Test, why it happened, and what kind of prep goes into doing a physical show like that.

Rob takes us behind the scenes of World’s Toughest Test and how it really goes down when the cameras are off, after he got Dez Bryant bounced from the show this past week.

Plus Rob takes us behind the scenes of the show and how some of those impossible challenges really came into play. Rob also thinks that Dame to the Bucks cou...

We are a little late this week because Rob has been out doing press for “World’s Toughest Test” which debuts Monday night on Fox! Rob gives us a preview of what to expect and talks about just how brutal the conditions were. Plus we try to figure out what happens with both James Harden and Dame Lillard, since both seem to be stuck in a trade standstill with their respective teams....

After the wild fallout from Noah Lyles “World Champs” comments, we hear how it felt to him to have the entire NBA come for him, including Drake who he tells to go home! NBA 2K24 gets our tin foil hats on as they have commentary from the game with Dame Lillard already in Miami, we find out Rob only plays as HIMSELF in 2K, and Rob and B-Dog see if they can guess the top-rated 2K24 player...

We briefly open the show by recapping this week’s feud with Gilbert Arenas, who we collectively have nothing but love for, so Rob apologizes if his “idiot” comment upset him. Plus Rob and B-Dog are frustrated that Team USA didn’t even medal at the FIBA World Cup and how immediately after we had LeBron, KD, Steph and a bunch of other guys step up to lead the Olympic team. An...

Rob opens the Shoot Around this week talking about the Atlanta Braves, as he did not realize until just recently how good that team really is.

Rob also weighs in on Team USA’s loss to Lithuania and how he doesn’t think it will really affe...

We open our bonus show this week by talking about Nikola Jokic dancing at Serbian night club and whether or not we like to dance at a club – erupting a HUGE debate about the Electric Slide!

Plus Noah Lyles brought down the fury of the sports world with his take about &...

Steph Curry said he was the best point guard ever this week, so we open the show with Rob’s opinion that he is NOT because Isiah Thomas has to be in that conversation simply from a defensive perspective. We also put on our tin foil hats for the Heat-Blazers match-up that the NBA scheduled for two days after the trade deadline, which we all agree is just a very smart marketing move. Stan Van...

He also jokes that in his day in the NBA, you NEVER w...

We open this week’s show with James Harden in China, as he started a media war this week with Sixers President Daryl Morey. So how do the Sixers move forward with this situation? Rob says the easy answer is for the Sixers to fire Daryl Morey, but everyone feels that sets a dangerous precedent for players going forward. Rob is also in awe about how much star players change teams, and how some teams...

We’re back for the second show of the week, and we’re both ready to lay our money on Mark Zuckerburg in the highly publicized fight against Elon Musk – but Rob thinks that Elon will continue to make excuses to get out of the fight. And the bigger loss of the week came from Drake, who bet $250K on Nate Diaz to beat Jake Paul, so we all discuss the biggest bets (for money or with friends) that we ev...

We open a huge show this week with news of Anthony Davis signing his three-year extension with the Lakers – and while we all knew it was coming, Rob thinks he can contend for MVP this season if he stays healthy because he’s just as good a Jokic! And as Rob runs down all the reasons that he’s just as good – if not better – than all the big men across the NBA, we start taking bets on how many games...

The Shoot Around kicks off this week with more Paul Pierce, as he is currently on the show “Stars on Mars” and recounted the Instagram live incident that cost him his job at ESPN.

We open the show this week with disappointment, as Rob lost a Los Angeles area Emmy to the Dodgers, after being nominated for his work with the Lakers. We’re also joined by writer Scoop Jackson, who talks about coming up in the NBA about the same time as Robert Horry – as Scoop started writing for Slam right after Rob got his first title in Houston. We also joke about Scoop being a Knicks fan, as...

We open up the Shoot Around this week with the meme that has gone viral, of Robert Horry’s career earnings and seven rings, up against James Harden’s payday having won NO rings.
