Robert Horry (Big Shot Bob) is back for the Friday Shoot Around bonus episode, and he's got plenty to say about the NBA's end-of-season awards race! This week the MVP finalists are officially in — Nikola Jokic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and Victor Wembanyama — and Big Shot Bob doesn't hesitate with his pick.   Plus, the crew debates whether Wembanyama could make history by winning both MVP and Defensive Player of the Year in the same season (something only Michael Jordan has done), breaks down the Six Man of the Year and Most Improved Player finalists, and questions whether the NBA's Clutch Player of the Year award even means anything.   Then it's quiz time: can Robert Horry and Harper correctly name the top 15 best-selling NBA jerseys of the 2025–26 season? Cooper Flagg already cracking the top 10 as a rookie? Stephen Curry still at #1?! And to close things out, a fan question sparks one of the best debates of the season — Tracy McGrady, Penny Hardaway, or Grant Hill: who had the highest ceiling barring injury? Robert Horry actually played against all three and his live, on-the-spot answer might surprise you.   Topics Covered: NBA MVP finalists: Jokic, SGA & Wembanyama Can Wemby win MVP + DPOY in the same year? Six Man of the Year finalists Most Improved Player debate Clutch Player of the Year — a real award or just a participation trophy? Top 15 best-selling NBA jerseys of 2025–26 Load management & the David Stern era Tracy McGrady vs. Penny Hardaway vs. Grant Hill — who had the highest ceiling?   Subscribe so you never miss a Shoot Around drop!

Episode 255 of the Big Shot Bob Podcast features Robert Horry, Brandon Harper, and Rob Jenners reacting to the NBA play-ins and early playoff picture. Horry recommends the Jerry West documentary on Prime and shares his relationship with West, praising his candid leadership. The hosts break down Charlotte’s win over Miami and debate the controversial play involving Bam, arguing it should have been reviewed and likely upgraded to a flagrant, while also discussing why Charlotte is a fun team to watch.   They cover Portland’s play-in win, highlighting Jrue Holiday’s leadership and Portland’s defense, then preview upcoming matchups including Warriors–Clippers, Magic–76ers (with Joel Embiid out after appendix surgery), and give series picks for Lakers–Rockets, Nuggets–Timberwolves, Knicks–Hawks, and Cavaliers–Raptors. They discuss Doc Rivers being fired by Milwaukee and Giannis’ uncertain comments, name an Oklahoma principal who stopped a school shooter as Big Shot of the Week, and finish with a playoff-stats “Who’s Bigger” game.   00:00 Play In Banter 01:10 Jerry West Doc 03:27 Bam Trip Controversy 09:05 Portland Surprise Win 14:47 Jamba Juice Detour 16:33 Tonight Play In Preview 18:37 Lakers Rockets Breakdown 25:49 Nuggets Wolves Picks 30:55 Knicks Hawks Series 35:45 Knicks Fans Takeover 37:53 Cavs Raptors Preview 41:14 Doc Rivers Fired 41:47 Giannis Future Talk 43:44 Holiday Chemistry Lesson 47:02 Rookie Of Year Race 50:28 Big Shot Hero Principal 53:25 Who’s Bigger Game

In this week’s Shoot Around Bonus Show, Episode 129, the hosts discuss a fan question sparked by a joke about trading Giannis Antetokounmpo, focusing on whether the Cleveland Cavaliers could realistically assemble a blockbuster package involving Evan Mobley, future assets, and possibly Jared Allen to create a short-term “super team” with Donovan Mitchell, James Harden, LeBron James, and Giannis—while noting the likely lack of depth and long-term flexibility.   They answer a question about Craig Sager, reacting to a Kevin Garnett clip roasting Sager’s suit and sharing Rob’s personal story of crossing paths with Sager through Sager’s wife and an old college connection, emphasizing how widely loved Sager (and Ernie Johnson) were around the NBA. The episode also covers personalized license plates (including Rob’s former “Seven Rings” plate), a humorous Zoom court clip where a judge catches a woman lying about driving, and a headline about cocaine traces found in sharks near the Bahamas, prompting a debate about the scariest animal to face on cocaine.   00:00 Friday Show Kickoff 00:52 Giannis Trade Rumors 02:24 Why Cavs Deal Fails 04:51 Three Team Trade Talk 06:12 Craig Sager Memories 10:48 Vanity Plate Debate 15:30 Zoom Court Lie Busted 17:52 Cocaine Sharks Finale

Robert Horry, Rob Jenners and Brandon Harper return for Episode 254 after missing a show because Horry was called by the NBA to fly last-minute to Tokyo as a replacement for LaMarcus Aldridge, followed by a military charity event in Phoenix; Horry also mentions meeting the creator of One Piece and receiving unreleased Lakers collab gear for his kids. They recap college hoops including UCLA women’s blowout of South Carolina, Michigan’s title run built via transfers, debate NIL money, portal movement, coach/player accountability, and discuss a Trump executive order proposal limiting transfers and eligibility.   The conversation shifts to the Lakers as Luka suffers a grade-2 left hamstring strain and AR an oblique strain, then covers standings, the 65-game awards rule, Giannis vs. the Bucks investigation, Jokic’s historic stat pace, WNBA’s Angel Reese trade to the Dream, anti-tanking lottery proposals, a “knockoff candies” game inspired by a stolen Kit Kat truck, and a Big Shot of the Week honoring Texas dads who bought a crossing guard a car.   00:00 Welcome to Episode 254 00:37 Why Rob Missed The Show 02:47 Tokyo Trip Highlights 04:23 College Hoops Recap 06:05 Big Ten Money And NIL 08:05 Mike Malone To UNC 10:42 Transfer Portal Rules Debate 13:33 Trump Order And NCAA Chaos 17:43 Viral Iran Soundbite 18:57 Lakers Injuries And Playoff Outlook 24:00 Stinky Booty Locker Room Talk 27:13 Standings And 65 Game Rule 29:37 Load Management Debate 30:07 Giannis Policy Fallout 34:54 Angel Reese to Atlanta 36:51 Kit Kat Heist Setup 37:35 Bulls Pride Night Controversy 41:16 Jokic Historic Stat Line 44:32 Anti Tanking Lottery Ideas 50:08 Big Shot Community Gift 51:31 Knockoff Candy Game 58:53 Show Wrap and Farewell

Robert Horry and the crew open Friday’s shootaround with a discussion of LA Sparks star Kelsey Plum launching a verified AI “digital twin” for real-time conversations, and debate what it says about modern social interaction and who from history they’d want to talk to via AI (including Thurgood Marshall), while also questioning whether they’d want a digital version of a deceased parent.   They pivot to a listener question about whether Joel Embiid deserves slack for early-career missed seasons, noting he’s played 91 games since winning MVP and arguing games still count because he was paid. The episode shifts to “dumbest fight” stories sparked by a wild Florida pickleball dispute, including Horry’s bar argument over an autograph and a college brawl after a spilled beer, before ending on Afroman’s police-raid saga, his defamation-court win, and his response through diss tracks and a patriotic tuxedo.   00:00 Friday Shoot Around Intro 00:51 Kelsey Plum AI Twin 02:49 Who Would You Talk To 05:35 Digital Afterlife Debate 06:44 Embiid Games Played Talk 09:53 Pickleball Fight Story 11:38 Dumb Fights Personal Tales 15:47 Quick Falcons Roster Aside 16:11 Afroman Courtroom Anthem 21:28 Wrap Up Reactions

Episode 253 of the Big Shot Bob Podcast with Robert Horry, Rob Jenners, and Brandon Harper opens with ongoing internet issues and jokes about Horry’s connection. They discuss the Lakers’ recent run, Luka’s historic scoring stretch, and a rescinded technical tied to trash talk, which leads into Draymond Green responding on his podcast after Horry referenced him as an example of players talking to refs without getting teched; the hosts debate whether Draymond took the example personally and consider inviting him on.   They cover Cade Cunningham’s collapsed lung and what it means for Detroit’s postseason hopes, recap March Madness upsets and viral moments (including High Point’s win and Kevin Willard’s “fire my staff” joke), note Kevin Durant passing Michael Jordan on the all-time scoring list, run through NBA standings and worst transactions rankings, mention OKC’s planned “Continental Coliseum,” highlight Jimmy Darts’ charity story, and play a “Fake News” headline game sparked by a bizarre cornhole-related crime story.   00:00 Show Cold Open 00:28 Internet Chaos 03:15 Lakers Streak 04:28 Luka Tech Drama 07:07 Draymond Responds 09:21 Breaking It Down 16:15 Cade Injury Update 18:21 March Madness Highlights 24:42 KD Passes Jordan 25:08 Can KD Catch Kobe 27:32 Cornhole Murder Setup 30:33 Playoff Standings Rundown 32:45 Worst NBA Moves List 34:48 JSN Mega Extension 36:50 OKC Coliseum Talk 38:21 Big Shot Jimmy Darts 41:14 Fake News Game

Robert Horry, Harper, and the host kick off a Friday “shoot around” bonus episode during March Madness, inviting listener questions via Big Shot Bob Pod socials. They share a personal connection through Greg “Free Beer” Daniels, a longtime radio host who also calls tournament games with Horry and uses a simplified on-air last name. The group then notes Steve Kerr winning an Oscar as an executive producer for the documentary short "All The Empty Rooms" and pivots to a discussion of the Warriors’ middling results since 2019, attributing decline to aging, injuries, roster changes, low draft picks, and shifting blame from coaches to talent.   Listener prompts lead into favorite movie fight/chase scenes (Matrix Reloaded, Daredevil hallway fight, Thanos vs. Hulk, John Wick, The Equalizer, Indiana Jones) and superhero video game ideas (X-Men/Cyclops, Gambit, Deadpool, Blade). They also debate ideal Oscars snack boxes and where they’d eat after a big win, referencing Michael B. Jordan going to In-N-Out, before joking about celebrity access and Horry’s humility.   00:00 Friday Shoot Around Intro 00:50 Rob and Greg Connection 03:31 Steve Kerr Oscar Win 04:23 Warriors Post Dynasty Reality 08:40 Best Movie Fight Scenes 14:28 Superhero Games Wishlist 15:54 Oscars Snack Box Debate 16:35 Picking The Perfect Snacks 18:20 Mexican Doritos Hype 19:23 Oscar Night Fast Food Run 20:23 Where To Celebrate Big Wins 23:21 In N Out Publicity Talk 25:17 Staying Grounded In Fame

Robert Horry, Brandon Harper, and Rob Jenners open Episode 252 with St. Patrick’s Day banter and a throwback to the viral “Alabama Leprechaun” news clip before previewing topics like the tournament, NBA expansion, and Wembanyama. They revisit the debate around Bam’s 83-point game versus Washington—discussing late fouling, free-throw volume, and how milestones compare to Kobe’s 81—plus Bam’s postgame shot at Dwyane Wade’s “no buzz” comment.   The show hits breaking NFL news about the Broncos trading for WR Jaylen Waddle, then shifts to Alabama’s Aiden Holloway arrest and NCAA tournament thoughts (including St. John’s, Duke injuries, Florida, and Arkansas). They discuss likely NBA expansion to Seattle and Vegas with potential conference realignment, Wembanyama’s MVP/DPOY ambitions, Luka’s late-game heroics with Austin Reaves’ surge, Atlanta’s 10-game win streak, and Joel Embiid reaching a 50/50 games-played milestone, before honoring a GoFundMe “Big Shot of the Week” and playing “Black Crime or White Crime.”   00:00 Podcast cold open 00:43 Green underwear 02:52 Viral leprechaun clip 04:51 Bam 83 asterisk debate 12:47 Wade quote clapback 14:27 NFL trade interruption 16:38 Alabama arrest fallout 18:09 March Madness sleepers 23:44 NBA expansion talk 26:16 Seattle and Vegas names 29:00 Wemby MVP case 34:24 Luka Denver Thriller 36:51 Jokic Passing Debate 39:19 West Standings Check 40:20 Hawks Win Streak 43:45 Playoff Matchup Picks 46:39 Embiid 50 50 Legacy 52:15 Big Shot GoFundMe 55:25 Black Or White Crime

In Friday’s Shoot Around Episode 126, Robert Horry, Jenners and Harper open with birthday talk, including a belated shoutout to Shaquille O’Neal and a side discussion about remembering birthdays and leap-day birthdays.

They debate Pat Beverley’s comments about players crying after games and Horry shares the one time he got emotional after a loss. The show also touches on Michael Jordan downplaying the GOAT debate, critiques a wild NBA outfit, discusses the World Baseball Classic and rooting for disliked rivals on Team USA, and closes with “damn, I’m old” moments like nagging injuries, vision changes, and daylight savings time.   00:00 Shootaround Kickoff 00:32 Birthdays And Shaq Shoutout 03:08 College Hoops Top Teams 05:34 Bracket Challenge Plug 06:51 Pat Bev Tears Debate 09:46 Jordan On Goat Debate 12:53 Shea’s wild outfit roast 13:47 NBA suit era rules 16:11 World Baseball Classic fandom 18:21 Damn I’m old moments 21:46 Kids these days conclusion

Episode 251 of the Big Shot Bob Podcast, hosted by Robert Horry with Brandon Harper and Rob Jenners, opens with the NBA canceling the Atlanta Hawks’ planned “Magic City Night” promotion after Adam Silver cited stakeholder concerns, while noting pre-orders for the hoodie will still be fulfilled and may become valuable memorabilia. The crew then talks NBA storylines including Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s game-winning shot versus Denver and his 126-game 20+ point streak tying Wilt Chamberlain, OKC’s low-turnover execution, and the Spurs’ dominance and team basketball led by Wembanyama and their guards, plus a brief look at standings.

On Episode 125 of The Shoot Around, Brandon Harper and seven-time NBA champion Robert Horry talk from Houston as Horry explains why he schedules dentist visits there. They discuss whether a recent hit on Nikola Jokic was a cheap shot, with Horry contrasting it to his own Steve Nash incident, calling his action petty and frustration-driven, and noting Jokic’s fall looked like a flop.   They debate late-season MVP finalists and the impact of the 65-game threshold, with Harper favoring Cade Cunningham and Horry backing Jaylen Brown for two-way play and team results, plus a sidebar on the Spurs’ young guards and unselfish team styles.   They reject a Mississippi proposal to exempt NIL earnings from state income tax, discuss potential travel-related NIL taxation, share favorite trash talkers (including a notorious Washington fan, Kevin Garnett, and Gary Payton), react to the Cardinals’ $29 all-you-can-eat ticket deal, and end with a joke prompt about the worst possible casting for the next James Bond.   00:00 Friday Show Intro 00:35 Dentist Trip Debate 01:51 Cheap Shot Talk 03:28 Nash Table Story 04:18 MVP Race Picks 06:51 Celtics Spurs Receipts 08:23 NIL Tax Exemption 11:03 Best Trash Talkers 13:59 All You Can Eat Tickets 16:21 Worst James Bond Casting

Episode 250 of the Big Shot Bob podcast features Robert Horry, Brandon Harper, and Rob Jenners talking March college basketball, Georgia Tech’s struggles under Damon Stoudamire, and how NIL money and one-and-done recruiting have shifted the sport, including a mention of the Calipari 30 for 30 and the massive combined contracts of his Kentucky players. They debate Jonathan Kuminga’s early production with the Hawks and whether the Warriors’ system limited him, then dive into Atlanta’s Magic City Night promotion, the hoodie release, TI performing, and reactions including Luke Kornet’s request to cancel the event.   The show also hits Lakers issues—JJ Redick and Luka sideline moments, Barkley’s criticism, JJ’s comments about still finding continuity, Deandre Ayton’s role, and LeBron’s future—plus Jason Tatum’s rumored return from an Achilles injury, praise for rookie Kon Knueppel’s three-point pace and Charlotte’s young core, a Big Shot of the Week honoring movers who helped stop an Amber Alert kidnapping, and the “Eat In or Take It Off” strip club vs. restaurant game.   00:00 Episode 250 Kickoff 00:51 March Madness Preview 01:55 Georgia Tech Struggles 03:59 NIL Money Arms Race 05:36 One and Done Era 08:18 Why We Love The Tourney 08:46 Kuminga Sparks Hawks 12:58 Magic City Night Debate 24:06 Lakers Sideline Spat 25:39 Are Lakers Contenders 29:56 JJ Redick Quote Rant 32:06 Pacing Panic in LA 34:59 Identity and Accountability 36:58 LeBron Exit Rumors 40:20 Cap Space and New Owners 41:55 Tatum Achilles Return Debate 47:09 Rookie Sniper Kon Knueppel 52:11 Big Shot Amber Alert Heroes 54:42 Strip Club or Restaurant Game

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. The group also talks about which franchises should never move, highlighting the St. Louis Cardinals and San Diego Padres, and briefly noting the Braves’ move within the Atlanta area. In NBA rules talk, they react to Paul Pierce’s idea of an LED three-point line that turns on and off during games, calling it too gimmicky and better suited to celebrity or All-Star-style events.   The episode also covers UFL rule changes, including a four-point field goal for kicks over 60 yards and banning punts once a team crosses midfield, with the hosts debating whether the NFL might adopt similar ideas and joking about how it would affect Super Bowl squares. Off the court, they break down MLB Players Association executive director Tony Clark resigning after an internal investigation revealed an improper relationship with his sister-in-law, and they react to Mad Dog Russo’s defense while debating how personal life should intersect with employment consequences. They wrap with viral oddities and childhood stories: a 92-year-old woman with Alzheimer’s climbing a seven-foot nursing home gate in 24 seconds, a 12-year-old in North Carolina driving himself to school with a fictitious plate after missing the bus, and the hosts sharing the dumbest things they did as kids—stealing church money for cookies, kicking a hole through a bedroom door, and a messy food fight that led to “double dip” punishments.   00:00 Friday Cold Open 01:25 Wild Twitter Grab Bag 01:40 NBA Trivia Stumper 03:22 Spurs Fans Clapback 05:38 Bears Moving to Indiana 07:17 Teams That Shouldn’t Move 08:43 LED Three Point Line 10:01 UFL Rule Experiments 12:14 Tony Clark Scandal 15:21 92 Year Old Gate Escape 17:11 Kid Drives To School 19:11 Cookie Money Confession 20:42 Foot Through The Door 22:29 Epic Food Fight Fallout 23:46 Double Dip Whoopings

Episode 249 of the Big Shot Bob Podcast opens with Brandon Harper and Rob Jenners welcoming seven-time NBA champion Robert Horry back after a week off, including Rob’s trip to Universal’s Epic Universe in Orlando where he spotted Giannis Antetokounmpo visiting with his family right after All-Star weekend. The crew talks about how stars handle public attention, why it’s tough to approach athletes when they’re with family, and the realities of getting recognized in places like airports and theme parks.   They break down the NBA’s new All-Star Game format, praising the shorter, high-intensity setup and crediting the players—especially Victor Wembanyama and Anthony Edwards—for setting a competitive tone. 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.   00:00 Podcast Return 00:56 Universal Trip 01:28 Giannis Spotted 05:17 Fame And Privacy 09:38 All Star Format 13:39 Dunk Contest Rant 15:29 Fixing The Dunk Contest 20:19 Pat Riley Statue 23:16 Suits On Sidelines 28:29 Lakers Get Smoked 29:29 Celtics Win Ugly 30:36 Boston Defense Breakdown 32:17 Lakers Exposed vs Good Teams 33:37 Calling Out Lakers Laziness 36:19 Playoff Plan for Luka 37:57 Rivalry Pride and Pat Riley Night 38:30 65 Game Rule Chaos 40:08 Is It Still Tatum Team 42:08 Tatum Return and Achilles Caution 43:18 Olympics Injuries and Jordan Viral Clip 47:56 College Hoops and Barkley Audio 49:27 Standings Check and USA Hockey Tribute 54:40 Mascot Trivia Game 01:01:45 Rocky Mascot Wild Story
