Big Shot Bob Pod with Robert Horry

We’re back in the regular routine this week – and we open the show with some talk about Team USA as the Olympics start this week. LeBron James gets the honor of carrying the flag for the USA during the Opening Ceremonies, and justly so as he’s been the best player on the floor for Team USA so far. And with LeBron and AD playing at this level, Rob tries to figure out why everyone...

We’re running a couple of days late this week, but we makeup for it with a huge show full of great topics! And we start with the post-credits scene from last week’s show, as Kawhi Leonard steps away from the Olympic team and Jaylen Brown gets the snub by Nike. Rob also offers up his opinion on the Bronny James narrative that has dominated the Summer League conversation, and says it&rsq...

We open the bonus show this week with a great listener question, about which team made the best move in free agency. Rob says it was definitely Paul George to the Sixers, but B-Dog and Jenners both feel like you can't sleep on Dejounte Murray to the Pelicans. And speaking of the Sixers, with them bringing back the black jerseys from the Iverson days, we talk about our favorite throwback...

As we approach the start of the Summer Olympics in Paris, we get heavy into the Team USA lineup and how Anthony Edwards has the big confidence going into the games. Rob also brings up the question about whether or not Joel Embiid should be on Team USA considering he's been a US citizen less than two years. Rob says he should NOT be on the team but is probably playing for the US, instead of Cameroo...

We open this week’s bonus show by reflecting on this year’s Bobby Bonilla Day – and talk about some of the other players around MLB, including Max Scherzer and Chris Davis, who are also getting BROKE OFF for not playing for teams around the league. And we’re asked to give an opinion on the Kyle Filipowski story, which Rob thinks teams are using as an excuse for not drafting...

It’s an ENORMOUS NBA show this week, as free agency and extensions have gone insane! We start with the story that had us confused all weekend, as the Lakers draft Bronny James with the 55 th pick… and not because the Lakers drafted him, but because Rich Paul was calling teams telling them “don’t draft Bronny.” We get into the business decision of it all, and how Bron...

The bonus show opens with the audio of Udonis Haslem saying the Heat are the biggest threat to the Celtics in the East, and Rob disagrees because he’s overlooking Milwaukee and Philly, as well as the future of Jimmy Butler in Miami. We also take a look at the game-changing amount of money that Stephen A Smith is asking of ESPN, and with Stephen A on the table we discuss his reaction to the K...

We go big with Robert Horry on the Lakers hiring JJ Redick, who brings no coaching experience to arguably one of the biggest coaching positions in the NBA. Rob has said previously he thought the hire wasn’t the best move for the Lakers, and says he thinks for the Lakers to find any success with this hire is to have some amazing and experienced coaches on his staff. We also debate whether tho...

This week’s bonus show opens with a question about Mikal Bridges and his future in Brooklyn, after the Nets have reportedly turned down multiple trade offers that would have landed them a bunch of first round picks. Rob loves Bridges but reminds Brooklyn that they are in a full rebuild at this point and they should take anything they can get to build for the future. Listener questions this w...

We kick off this week’s show fresh off the Celtics winning the NBA Championship, and Rob says Boston’s coaching and defensive effort is what got it done against Dallas. And despite a dominant season, Rob does NOT believe the Celtics will win it again, as he thinks that bigger teams from the West will break through and match up better against them then Dallas did. As for the Mavericks,...

We open this week’s bonus show with a quick update on Kristaps Porzingis’s health as the NBA Finals roll on. Plus we get right into listener questions, as people want to know Rob’s thoughts about San Antonio possibly trading for Darius Garland to pair with Victor Wembenyama – and Rob loves that move if it indeed comes together. Scottie Barnes also offers relationship advice...

We kick off the week in the midst of the NBA Finals, as Rob is headed to Bogota, Columbia for an NBA Finals viewing party. And we get deep into the first two games of the Finals, with Rob and Rob both nominating Jaylen Brown as the early MVP, and Harper says he’s not surprised by this series so far because Boston doing what they do best by suffocating the Mavericks. And we’re all waiti...

Tracy McGrady says Steph Curry still has not cracked his Top 10 all time, so the debate ensues from the start of the bonus show about where (if at all) he’d fall on our lists. And after Luka got his beer poached in the WCF celebration, we ask Rob what those locker rooms are like after a big win… and Rob says there was NO celebration after winning the Conference Finals when he played,...

This episode is sponsored by Better Help. Give online therapy a try at B etterHelp.com/BigShotBob and get on your way to being your best self. Rob opens the show this week with his fatigue over the “who has more rings” debate, and how some of the best players in NBA history never won a ring but are still the best. We also joke about how long the Celtics and Mavericks have to sit around...

This week’s audio of the week leads off the Shoot Around as a Wheel of Fortune contest went viral for guessing “Right in the Butt” on a toss-up. That spirals us into our all-time favorite viral videos, from “Sum Ting Wong” to the bug-in-the-mouth reporter. We also get Rob’s inside take on the Lakers coaching search and why it’s taking so long to hire a new...

Just like we all predicted, we’re on the verge of TWO series sweeps, as the Celtics sweep the Pacers out of the Eastern Conference Finals and punch their ticket to the Finals. Rob has coaching questions about how the Pacers chose not to foul down the line, and how that played out in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals. And with the Gobert mismatch in the WCF, B-Dog wants to know why they...

We open the bonus show this week with a question on the minds of many Cleveland basketball fans... if you could choose, do you want to keep Darius Garland or Donovan Mitchell? We also debate the theory that an NBA team might draft Bronny as bait to get LeBron, and ask Rob what that would do for his future in the league if it didn't work out. Plus, with Happy Gilmore 2 getting t...

Here we go! Rob and the guys go deep into the Timberwolves pulling out a huge Game 7 victory in Denver, with amazing audio from Anthony Edwards and Karl Anthony-Towns. Rob takes a look at all the things the Wolves did right, how impressive Ant Man is at such a young age, and how that compares to when he felt comfortable in the NBA. And after Dallas eliminated OKC, Rob and B-Dog both think they nee...

Reggie Miller made headlines this week and opens up our bonus show, as we debate who he was taking shots at when he talked about a “Mount Rushmore guy” who points fingers. We also try to figure out why the Knicks fans still hate Reggie 30 years later and where that comes from. A listener asks Rob what has happened to Jrue Holiday (after his lack of scoring the postseason) and after Mal...

After Rob’s trip to Atlanta last week, we go over the stuff that happened while he was on the road – and how surprised some of us were that Jamal Murray didn’t get suspended for his heat-pad toss. It’s also wild to see the Timberwolves playing with way less effort and enthusiasm with Rudy Gobert in the line-up, proving to Rob and B-Dog that he should not have been Defensive...

A really fun bonus show kicks off the weekend with the amazing Brady roast – which Tom Brady immediately regretted – Rob tells us the story about getting committed to judging a pregnant bikini contest. And after a member of the Padres AAA affiliate found out he was getting traded while standing on second base, we ask Rob where he was when he found out he got traded to the Suns for Char...

There is SO much to get into on this week’s show – and we start with the Timberwolves, as Minnesota shocks the world by taking the first two games in Denver… but not Robert Horry! Rob aw the flaws in the Denver bench during the Lakers series. And somehow the Timberwolves were better without Rudy Gobert, Trae Young saying Ant Man should have been an Atlanta Hawk, and whether Jama...

As we look back on the NFL Draft, a listener takes a look at Rob's NBA Draft outfit from 1992 and asks why Rob chose to roll with that tie! And after Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch tore his knee after a sideline collision, we want to know if Rob ever suffered a strange/stupid injury during his playing days. MLB is rolling out their City Connect jerseys for the season, so we also ask Rob...

We roll into this week’s show with LeBron flinching on a woman in the front row of the Nuggets-Lakers Game 5, and how Rob felt about the Lakers performance as they were eliminated in the first round. Rob thinks Denver is vulnerable as they prepare to take on the high-powered Timberwolves, and while Rob picks Minnesota to win and advance, B-Dog thinks Denver will show the championship pedigre...

The NBA Playoffs always bring back memories for Rob as we kick off this week’s bonus show. We also get into Jim Harbough’s Michigan tattoo, and ask Rob if there was ever a tattoo promise on any team he played for… and he says if the Lakers had gone 16-0 in the playoffs they probably would have gotten a tattoo. We also kick around the anonymous poll of NBA players, where they cro...
