Big Shot Bob – Shoot Around Ep 138 – The Pope of Five-Town

Big Shot Bob – Shoot Around Ep 138 – The Pope of Five-Town

It's Friday, which means Rob Jenners, Robert Horry, and B-Dog are back to clear the table on everything that didn't make it into Tuesday's show. Episode 138 of the Shoot Around goes hard on KD's revisionist history, the top NBA salaries heading into next season, and a rapid-fire rumor mill that covers LeBron, Ja Morant, the Knicks' title defense, and what San Antonio needs to stay dangerous.   First up: Kevin Durant went on a Barstool podcast this week and tried to explain why he left OKC for Golden State back in 2016 — claiming the Warriors were basically underdogs when he showed up. The guys are not buying it. At all. Rob runs through the receipts: 73-9, the 67-win season before that, the title, the back-to-back three-point records. Big Shot Bob's verdict? KD just be talking.   Then it's a quick trivia spin on the top 10 NBA salaries going into next year. Steph Curry sits at number one at $62.5 million — at 38 years old. The guys try to fill in the rest of the list: Jokic, Tatum, AD, Giannis, Embiid, Jaylen Brown, Devin Booker, KAT, and Jimmy Butler round it out. Luka, for the record, is not on it.   From there it's rumor mill time. Is Ja Morant actually movable, or does that $42 million contract scare everyone off? How long before LeBron makes a call — and does he go back to the Lakers, consider Cleveland, or is there an outside shot he links up with Giannis in Miami? The Knicks just won a title but James Dolan's already drawing a line at the second apron, which means Clarkson, Robinson, and Shamet are probably all walking. And San Antonio: what exactly do the Spurs spend their $44 million in cap space on to get back to where they were in the Finals?   Harp floats Dwight Howard as a San Antonio option. Rob closes his laptop. The show pretty much ends itself from there.   New episodes of the Shoot Around drop every Friday.

Big Shot Bob – Ep 265 – Gotta Be Quicker Than That

The NBA decided not to wait. Before the 2026 draft even got underway, the league flipped on its head — and Rob Jenners, Robert Horry, and B-Dog are here to make sense of all of it on Episode 265 of the Big Shot Bob Podcast.   The big story: Giannis Antetokounmpo is headed to the Miami Heat. The guys break down the full package Milwaukee got back — Tyler Herro, Kyle Lowry, Jaime Jaquez Jr., three first-round picks including the 13th overall, and more — and debate whether Miami actually pulled off a heist or just handed Pat Riley a roster puzzle he has to solve before training camp. Seven-time champion Robert Horry has thoughts on all of it, including the part where the Heat now need to figure out a bench situation in a hurry.   Then there's Jaylen Brown. He was reportedly part of Boston's pitch to Milwaukee, and now that Giannis ended up somewhere else, what exactly do the Celtics have on their hands? The guys dig into whether that relationship can be repaired, whether JB's Twitch stream has become his de facto press conference, and what three years left on a big contract actually means when a player wants out.   Minnesota gets its own segment — and not in a good way. Julius Randle is gone to Brooklyn, Ant Man's frustration has been an open secret for a while, and the Timberwolves are burning through roster pieces faster than they're building anything. The guys ask the obvious question: what are you actually doing over there?   From there it's draft night preview mode — the consensus top four, what the Clippers might do at five, and Rob's take on what Atlanta should be targeting at pick eight. Plus Dusty Mays leaving Michigan (off a national title, no less) to take the Dallas head coaching job, Trae Young locking up a four-year deal in Washington, and what a healthy Trae-plus-AD situation could realistically mean for the Wizards.   The Knicks parade happened, and Rob has been to seven of these things. He ranks them. The crew also gives a well-deserved Big Shot of the Week to Simone Kelly, the off-duty EMT who revived an overdose victim during the celebration — and then had to fend off the guy she just saved.   They close it out with Shot Clock — Rob can't name more than one beer, Harp rattles off 11 Knicks in 10 seconds, and somebody names Phoenix as a state. It's that kind of show.   Subscribe and hit the bell so you never miss an episode.   00:00 — Cold Open / Intro 00:30 — The NBA Is Moving Fast: Setting the Table 01:30 — Giannis to Miami: Breaking Down the Trade 03:00 — Was the Bucks' Haul Enough? 06:00 — Miami's Roster Gaps & Norman Powell's Decision 08:00 — Is Miami a Legitimate Championship Contender? 10:30 — Jaylen Brown & the Celtics Fallout 15:30 — Minnesota Trades Randle: Where Does This Leave the Wolves? 18:00 — Finding Out You've Been Traded (Robert Horry Stories) 22:00 — 2026 NBA Draft Preview: Top Picks & Top Picks 26:30 — Fan Question: Should Miami Call Chris Paul? 30:00 — Knicks Championship Parade Recap 31:00 — Robert Horry Ranks His Seven Championship Parades 34:00 — Trae Young Stays in Washington: Breaking Down the Deal 35:00 — What Can Trae + Anthony Davis Realistically Do in Washington? 38:00 — The Road Back to LA for Anthony Davis? 41:30 — Dusty Mays Leaves Michigan for Dallas Mavericks 44:30 — Hawks Moves: Aaron Wiggins & CJ McCollum Extension 50:30 — Big Shot of the Week: Simone Kelly 52:00 — Shot Clock Game

Big Shot Bob – Shoot Around Ep 137 – God Bless the Beaver

It's Friday, which means it's Shoot Around time. Episode 137. Robert Horry, Rob Jenners, and B-Dog are back with the fan questions that didn't make the Tuesday show — plus some detours that definitely weren't on the agenda.   First up: a listener asks whether certain championships just mean more than others. Brian Windhorst sparked the debate on ESPN comparing the Knicks title to the LeBron-Cleveland moment in 2016. Robert's answer might surprise you — for him personally, the 2005 title in San Antonio hit harder than any of the Lakers runs, and he explains why. B-Dog makes the case for Kobe's first ring without Shaq, and Rob gets into what the 2021 Braves World Series meant to him working inside that organization.   Then there's the World Cup. It's in America right now, and a viral video of a French guy experiencing Buc-ee's for the first time is basically the greatest piece of content on the internet. The guys use it as a jumping off point: what does a foreigner absolutely have to experience in the US? Waffle House at 2 AM makes the list. Soul food does too. Atlanta gets discussed at length, and Jameis Winston cleaning up a stadium in Dallas with Japanese fans is just a genuinely wholesome moment.   A listener question about Rick Brunson's courtside moment with Jalen after the title turns into one of the more personal conversations on the show — all three guys share a memory with their dads. Robert's involves sneaking candy into Silver Streak and a hard foul from his pops during a pickup game. Rob talks about a rough stretch with his father that got repaired when his daughter was born. Worth a listen.   From there: household chores, the great grocery shopping debate, Trader Joe's vegan oatmeal cookies vs. Thin Mints, and a final fan question about the wildest thing anyone's ever seen at a live sporting event. Robert tells a story from a Lakers-SuperSonics game that Phil Jackson definitely remembers. And somewhere in there, a bird dies at a Braves spring training game.   Episode 137 of the Shoot Around — every Friday on the Big Shot Bob Podcast feed.   🎙️ Subscribe for weekly NBA conversation, stories from inside the game, and Fridays with Shoot Around.   00:00  Intro — Shoot Around Episode 137 00:30  Fan Q: Do Some Championships Mean More? 01:00  Robert Horry: Why 2005 Meant the Most Personally 02:30  B-Dog: Kobe's First Ring Without Shaq 03:30  Rob: The 2021 Braves Run From the Inside 05:00  Frenchman Discovers Buc-ee's — The Viral Video 06:30  World Cup Atlanta: Spain vs. Cabo Verde 07:30  What Must Every Foreigner Experience in the US? 10:30  Fan Q: Rick Brunson Moment — Best Memory With Your Dad 11:00  Robert: Movies, Candy Smuggling & a Hard Foul From Pop 12:30  Rob: Baseball, Yankee Stadium & Fixing a Broken Relationship 15:30  Jameis Winston Cleans Up at the World Cup 17:00  What Are Your Household Chores? 19:30  Grocery Shopping, Snack Sabotage & Diet Struggles 21:00  Trader Joe's Cookies vs. Thin Mints Debate 23:00  Fan Q: Wildest Thing You've Ever Seen at a Live Event 24:00  Tarps Off — The MLB Trend Taking Over Stadiums 25:00  The Bird That Died at a Braves Spring Training Game 25:30  Robert's Wildest Arena Story: The Lakers-Sonics Game

Big Shot Bob – Ep 264 – The Spurs Got Deebo’d

After 53 years, the New York Knicks are NBA champions. Robert Horry, Rob Jenner, and B-Dog Brandon Harper are back to break down one of the wildest finals in recent memory — a series where San Antonio led for 72% of the total minutes and somehow lost in five.   Robert talks about what needs to change for Wemby — specifically, the weight room — and what Dillon Harper's role should actually look like moving forward. Is De'Aaron Fox on the hot seat? He's got four years and over $200 million coming, so the Spurs better hope he's got short-term memory. And was this the Knicks winning, or the Spurs just losing it? The guys go back and forth on that one, and honest answer is... both.   From Jalen Brunson's place in Knicks history (Perk said greatest ever — the guys aren't buying it), to Karl-Anthony Towns FaceTiming Anthony Edwards after winning a ring, to the Knicks parade turning into a disaster with school buses on fire and 63 arrests — there's a lot to unpack from championship week in New York.   Also on the show: Draymond Green says European players are dirty, and Robert Horry has some thoughts on that. James Harden got pulled over at 4 AM with a handgun in his cup holder. The Bulls hired Tiago Splitter and Robert is thrilled it's not another guard. Big Shot of the Week goes to Amy Pye, a former Navy reservist from British Columbia who answered her door at 3 AM and saved a man's life. And the crew plays a special Championship Celebration Edition of Black Crime or White Crime — featuring naked Alabama fans, horse riders at Churchill Downs, and a guy swinging a metal flagpole at electrical wires.   Episode 264 of the Big Shot Bob Podcast.

Big Shot Bob – Shoot Around Ep 136 – Evicted From Your Blanket Fort

It's Friday, so you know what that means — Shoot Around is back. Robert Horry, Rob Jenner, and B-Dog run through everything that didn't make Tuesday's show, and this week that list is pretty loaded.   First up: the NBA's new 3-2-1 draft lottery. Quentin asked about it, and fair enough — they never got to it on the main show. Rob breaks down how it works (the lottery expands from 14 to 16 teams, and the three worst records in the league actually get their odds PULLED back), and Robert gives his honest reaction: he doesn't hate it, but he's not ready to fully buy in until he sees it play out. The Indiana Pacers situation this year is a perfect example of why this stuff gets complicated fast.   Then things get heavier. Brendon Sorsby — the Texas Tech quarterback who bet on his own games at Indiana — caught a two-game suspension and a $5 million deal. The guys go deep on what kind of message that sends across every roster in college football. Not just to stars, but to walk-ons and scholarship guys who know everything about their team and are getting nothing out of NIL. It's a messy situation and Robert and Rob don't hold back.   After that, a palate cleanser: Tom Brady launched a new coconut water brand, and the name is... Good Nut. B-Dog's face said it all. If you're listening and not watching, do yourself a favor and pull up the YouTube just for that reaction.   A listener question for Robert — what's the most unfortunate thing that ever happened to you in a game? The José Canseco ball-off-the-head moment from Joe Adell inspired this one. Robert's answer might surprise you. (Spoiler: his shorts have a starring role.)   And to close it out, the blanket fort world record. A Nevada high school student built a 14,000+ square foot fort in Las Vegas, which somehow leads to a full childhood memory throwback session. Sliding down hills on cardboard, building clubhouses in the woods, and getting evicted from your own blanket fort by your grandfather. All of it.   Topics covered this week: * NBA 3-2-1 draft lottery breakdown — what changed and why * Tanking debate: injuries, bad teams, and what actually counts as tanking * Brendon Sorsby, $5M deals, and a two-game slap on the wrist * Gambling in college sports — the double-edged sword nobody wants to admit * Walk-ons, NIL gaps, and insider info as a ticking time bomb * Tom Brady's coconut water brand, "Good Nut" * B-Dog's priceless reaction and the best disapproving head shake on YouTube * Robert Horry's most unfortunate moment on the court (and on TV) * Blanket fort world record and childhood memory lane   Subscribe so you never miss a Shoot Around or a Tuesday episode of the Big Shot Bob Podcast.
