Big Shot Bob Pod with Robert Horry

We go BIG on the NBA Playoffs this week, especially after Rob had to work the Lakers-Nuggets Game 2 where the Lakers blew a 20-point lead. Rob says Jamal Murray is going to continue to be a problem for the Lakers, as his averages against LA are way up from the regular season, and we all question the game plan down the stretch and how the team mentality changed.   We also break down the wild e...

The bonus show opens with the Allen Iverson statue controversy coming out of Philadelphia, after the Internet turned on the 76ers for unveiling a very small statue for Allen Iverson… but context matters, because every Philly legend has the same small statue outside the practice facility. Plus Kevin Durant talks about staying healthy this season by avoiding “floppers and crash dummies,...

It’s a full NBA Playoff Preview on this week’s show, and we open things up with Mike Greenberg’s comments about the Lakers “tanking” the play-in game so they can try to get the #8 seed to face OKC instead of taking the #7 seed and facing Denver… and Rob AGREES with him! We debate the merit of playing the tougher teams early instead of late, and dive deep into a...

We are loaded for the bonus show this week, and we start with former Warriors GM Bob Myers who somehow couldn’t find the leak of the Draymond Green vs Jordan Poole fight. Even though the team keeps track of everyone in and out of practice, Rob thinks it must have been hacked or buried on purpose. We also dive into some listener questions about whether the Bucks are regretting their hire of D...

We’re a day late this week because Rob had to have a colonoscopy, which leads to some weird and funny observations about going to the doctor. We also ask Rob if he thinks the Lakers have turned their back on Darvin Ham, and Rob says seeing guys walk out of the huddle is very normal in the NBA because guys know the play that the coach is drawing up. Props go out to UConn for bringing home the...

We open up the bonus show this week by looking at the sale of Kobe's championship ring at auction, which set a record, and Jenners did not realize that they gave every winner two rings for winning a title. And a listener question asks if the Lakers need a third star this offseason and Rob jokes that if the guys, they have plays to their potential they won't need one. We also throw some love to Isa...

Rob was in the building to see Alabama knock off North Carolina and advance to the Final Four, and the crew talks about the DJ Burns phenomenon at NC State, the Iowa-LSU game on the women’s side, and Zach Edey’s controversial comments after Purdue advanced to the Final Four. We also get into the LeBron James comments that his career is reaching its end, largely because that wasn’...

Rob wants to know how B-Dog treats his beard as we open the bonus show this week. We also take a minute to recognize Opening Day as the national holiday it deserves to be, and we ask Rob how important it really is for players to play in a city they love as we reflect on the failure of the Nets to attract star players. Plus Rob reminds Mike Greenberg and everyone listening that NO college team at l...

Rob is going to see Alabama take on North Carolina in the Sweet Sixteen in LA this week, as Rob hopes to see his Tide avenge his last college basketball loss which came at the hands of UNC. Plus the tournament talk launches us into a debate about the merits of the transfer portal, in both basketball and football, and how bad the NCAA has been about regulation. And even though Kentucky continues to...

Lots of great topics in this week’s bonus show, including Jalen Rose saying the #23 should be retired across the NBA in honor of Michael Jordan… and Rob and B-Dog strongly disagree on this one. We also have a debate about the players with the highest peaks in their careers, which leads to even more disagreement amongst the group. Plus Steph Curry made headlines this week by saying he...

Robert Horry opens the show this week by talking about his dislike for coffee, the cool special needs event he was privileged to attend this week, and the upcoming interview he has with his son Christian now that he’s committed to UCLA. We also talk about the Jalen Johnson dunk on Austin Reaves, and the dunk of the year, as Anthony Edwards postered John Collins in epic fashion this week. Tha...

In this week’s bonus show, we address the typos on the Kobe statue outside of Cyrpto, which leads us into a conversation about words we simply cannot spell. Plus Ty Lue said this week that Jalen Green and Cam Whitmore in Houston remind him of when Vince Carter and Tracey McGrady arrived in Toronto, and while Rob loves them he wishes they were more consistent. Rob would love to see Isaiah Tho...

Robert Horry celebrates his son Christian’s team, Harvard Westlake, celebrating their second straight State Championship – as Chris gets ready to transition to UCLA this fall and get involved in the college program. On the NBA front we get into the perception of the Lakers “deep bench” as it’s touted by the media, and how the Lakers have flashes of greatness at times...

We open the bonus show with how excited we are for March Madness, and get Rob’s memories of playing in the tournament and what it was like compared to the NBA Playoffs. And after Jimmy Butler spoke about “Playoff Jimmy” being the best player in the postseason, we get into a conversation about the guys who were always at their best when the Playoffs hit. After the Celtics boat-rac...

We’re joined by YouTube creator Clayton Crowley, who put out the video last week about Rob as “The Greatest Role Player in NBA History”, as it was really well done. This video has since popped off on YouTube, and Clayton talks why he made it, why he loves hoops, and why he chose to put the spotlight on Rob’s career. We also joke about stories that Clayton uncovered about Ro...

So how many people got married on Leap Day yesterday? Rob thinks it’s a masterful move so you only have to celebrate your anniversary once every four years! Plus lots more NBA stuff, including audio of Draymond Green and his disappointment about Ant Man goofing off in the All-Star Game, but Rob’s point is that everyone goofed off in the All-Star Game. That also spins us into a discussi...

Rob’s YouTube tribute from a fan kicks things off this week, and it’s really well done even though Rob doesn’t know the guy who put it together. And of course we get right into Monty Williams killing the refs after the end of the Pistons-Knicks game, and we all discuss just how big of an issue the bad calls and questionable refereeing has been this season. Rob feels like there ar...

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 re...

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...

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&rs...

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 sh...

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...

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...

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 sma...

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....
