  Big Shot Bob – Ep 273 – Passing the Lakers Like a Blunt

  Aug 18, 20261h 1m

  The crew's back together after a week off, and it takes about five minutes before anyone actually mentions basketball. Bob's fresh off a trip to San Antonio (river walk, wine, a very serious debate about mashed potatoes), and once the guys settle in, they get to the real news.   The big story is the Lakers sale, or more accurately, the Lakers sale that might not be happening. Jeanie Buss is reportedly refusing to hand over her remaining stake to Bob Iger's group, and the guys dig into why she's digging in, who could realistically help her buy out her siblings, and whether Vanessa Bryant factors into any of it.   From there it's a full lap around the league. There's an update on where the Clippers salary cap investigation stands, Russell Westbrook calling it a career after 18 seasons, and a debate over which stars from the 2000s draft classes have the most left in the tank. Horry also gets something off his chest about the 2026 Hall of Fame class, and he's not shy about who he thinks got left out.   The back half is schedule season. The guys break down the best revenge games on the 2026-27 slate, argue about whether Philly got handed a cupcake schedule, and run through the week's roster news, including Bradley Beal to the Clippers, jersey retirements for Kevin Garnett and Diana Taurasi, and Dennis Schroder quietly climbing the all-time journeyman list. Then it's game time. Bob pulls the fresh Forbes franchise valuations and puts Rob and Harp through a full round of guessing which team is worth more, running across the NBA, NFL and MLB, with a few results that catch everybody off guard.   00:00      Cold Open: Water Temps, Steak Orders & Asparagus Chaos 05:49      Lakers Ownership Drama: Jeanie Buss Won't Sell 09:20      Who Could Help Jeanie Buy Out Her Family? 15:29      Clippers Cap Case Update & Forbes Valuations Teased 20:48      Russell Westbrook Retires After 18 Seasons 24:02      Ranking the Last 2000s Stars Still Playing 26:09      Paul George's Health and Longevity 27:25      Horry Snubbed Again: Breaking Down the 2026 HOF Class 33:41      Reviving the Campaign to Get Horry In 35:51      2026 Schedule's Best Revenge Games 38:20      Is Philly's Schedule Too Easy This Year? 43:17      Quick Hits: Beal Signs, KG & Taurasi Retire, Schroder Traded 45:15      Big Shot of the Week: Teen's 3D-Printed Wheelchair 46:51      Buy My Team: Knicks-Clippers & Cowboys-Patriots 48:13      Buy My Team: Mets-Braves & Bulls-Heat 49:35      Buy My Team: Falcons-Panthers & Dodgers-Yankees 51:55      Buy My Team: Hawks-Cavs, Eagles-Giants & Rays-Marlins 55:33      Buy My Team: Chiefs-Ravens Finale 57:02      Wrap-Up: Football Season and Picks Are Coming Back

  Big Shot Bob – Ep 272 – Why You Goin Down?

  Aug 11, 202657 min

  It's just the two of them this week — Harp's off in San Antonio, so Robert Horry and Rob Jenners are running the show solo, old-school style. No Shoot Around this Friday either, so they're packing everything into one episode.   They start with the good stuff: the NBA dropped a taste of the schedule, and the Christmas Day slate is loaded — Spurs-Knicks, Heat-Celtics, Sixers-Lakers (hello LeBron revenge tour), Thunder-Wolves, and Nuggets-Warriors closing it out. Bob and Rob debate whether Denver deserved the marquee spot over Dallas, and that turns into a bigger conversation about how much longer Jokic and Steph stick around their current teams — and why neither of them should ever, ever run for office.   From there it's opening week previews, a Pistons discussion that gets real about the Jalen Duren contract standoff, and Bob's old war stories about guys faking injuries to force a new deal. Then the Kawhi Leonard stuff. Another secret endorsement deal surfaced this week — this time with Daktronics — and the guys walk through it, plus the resurfaced details from the Lakers' 2019 free agency pitch that the league is now investigating. They get into whether the Clippers star actually suits up this season and what it means if the NBA lets this slide.   Also on deck: Dillon Brooks cashing in with a $73 million extension from the Spurs, Wemby flying the whole Spurs roster to Paris for a mini training camp, and Robert's take on a young guy trying to "lead" without doing anything out of the ordinary.   VJ Edgecombe getting FaceTimed by LeBron leads Bob into one of his own stories from his playing days, and then Scottie Pippen's blunt comments about Zion Williamson's discipline get the full breakdown — including Bob's offer to personally get Zion in shape.   They pay respects to the late, great Don Nelson, run back Adam Vinatieri's surprisingly filthy Hall of Fame speech, and there's a QVC clip that has to be heard to be believed. Big Shot of the Week goes to a Virginia man who donated a kidney to a stranger and wore his Santa hat into surgery to do it.   And to close it out — since it's just the two of them — they finally play 82 and 0 on the show for the first time, drafting all-time rosters and trying (and mostly failing) to go undefeated.   00:00   Kickoff: Just Rob and Rob This Week 01:34   Christmas Day Slate Revealed 02:34   Jokic, Steph and the Nuggets-Warriors Debate 07:05   NBA Opening Week Schedule 08:04   Pistons Outlook and the Jalen Duren Standoff 10:34   Old-School Contract Holdout Stories 12:34   Setting Up 82 and 0 14:11   Kawhi's Latest Secret Endorsement Deal 15:34   The 2019 Clippers Free Agency Allegations 20:34   Will Kawhi Suit Up This Season? 22:34   Dillon Brooks Cashes In 24:34   Wemby's Paris Minicamp 27:05   VJ Edgecombe's LeBron FaceTime Story 29:34   Scottie Pippen Sounds Off on Zion 37:34   Remembering Don Nelson 39:30   Vinatieri's Hall of Fame Roast 40:55   QVC Wig Clip of the Week 42:32   Big Shot of the Week: Dave Bell 43:36   Playing 82 and 0 53:03   TV Talk and Sign-Off

  Big Shot Bob – Shoot Around Ep 143 – It’s Different When I Do It

  Aug 7, 202623 min

  It's mailbag Friday on the Shoot Around, and the guys open things up with a tribute nobody asked for — Motown legend Martha Reeves', uh, memorable national anthem ahead of the Women's Pro Baseball League's inaugural weekend. Rob Horry and Rob Jenners can't decide if it's sweet or a bad omen, and Brandon Harper is just trying to be respectful about it.   From there it's straight into the questions. First up: ranking LeBron, KD, and Steph heading into next season, which turns into a real debate about workload, teammates, and who's actually going to be asked to do the most. Then things get weird with Harrison Bader, whose scooter reportedly found the back of a San Francisco Fire Department truck at 1:50 in the morning — Rob Horry breaks down why he's never dealt with a teammate like that on a championship roster.   The mailbag also digs into a college eligibility loophole letting a former Pitt running back explore a return to school after getting cut by the Bills, with NIL money very much part of the conversation. And to close it out, the crew finally weighs in on Spider-Man: Brand New Day, including the Tom Holland vs. Tobey Maguire vs. Andrew Garfield debate that never really goes away.   Catch the full conversation every Tuesday on the main Big Shot Bob Podcast feed, with Shoot Around dropping every Friday right here.   00:00   Cold Open 00:18   Welcome to the Shoot Around — Socials and How to Reach the Show 00:47   Martha Reeves' National Anthem for the Women's Pro Baseball League 02:30   The Guys React to the Anthem 04:04   Mailbag: Ranking LeBron, KD, and Steph Heading Into Next Season 10:34   Harrison Bader's Scooter-vs-Firetruck Injury 11:38   Locker Room Stories — Any Accident-Prone Teammates? 12:50   Mailbag: The College Eligibility Loophole Story 15:10   NIL Money and Whether the Loophole Should Exist 17:03   Mailbag: Thoughts on Spider-Man: Brand New Day 18:01   Is Tom Holland the Best Spider-Man?

  Big Shot Bob – Ep 271 – Drugs or Dog Food

  Aug 4, 202651 min

  Robert Horry is broadcasting this week's show from Reykjavik, Iceland, where he's running a basketball camp — and naturally, that means a special edition of Where in the World Is Robert Horry before the guys even get to basketball talk. Big Shot Bob and Rob Jenners hold things down while B-Dawg keeps him honest on the Iceland details (yes, it really is closer to England than you'd think).   Once the travel talk wraps, the crew dives into a loaded NBA news week. The Dodgers' trade for Tarik Skubal has LA fans wondering if the Lakers can pull off something similar, but Rob Horry isn't buying a big splash — the roster's full and the pool to jump in is more kiddie-sized than Olympic. From there it's Klay Thompson trade buzz, with reports connecting him back to Los Angeles or Miami, and a real conversation about what he'd actually bring to a team defensively at this stage of his career.   The extension talk gets serious with Steph Curry, Anthony Davis, and Karl-Anthony Towns all eligible for new deals — and the guys dig into whether AD's injury history and KAT's apron situation in New York make those moves less likely than people think. That leads into the biggest storyline of the week: is it actually time for Golden State to consider life after Steph? Horry and Harper break down the Warriors' rough draft history since 2012, why Jonathan Kuminga still doesn't have a landing spot, and what a real Steph Curry trade market might even look like.   Plus: the Kawhi Leonard investigation drags into 2027, Victor Wembanyama gets his own signature Nike shoe, Chris Bosh reveals a scary health scare from earlier this year, Kelsey Plum gets traded to the Phoenix Mercury, and Kendrick Perkins' top-5-in-the-East list gets torched. All that, a big shout to a teenage lifeguard hero, and Robert Horry defending his Where in the World title from six thousand miles away.   New episodes of Big Shot Bob every Tuesday, with Shoot Around dropping Fridays.   00:00   Cold Open 01:02   Live From Iceland — Setting the Scene 01:15   Robert Horry's Basketball Camp in Reykjavik 04:25   Iceland Travel Talk and Culture Shock 06:50   Dodgers' Skubal Trade Sparks Lakers Pressure 07:54   Lakers' Roster Crunch — No More Splash Moves 09:53   Klay Thompson Free Agency Buzz 14:04   Extension Watch: Anthony Davis and Karl-Anthony Towns 18:11   Is It Time for the Warriors to Move On From Steph? 23:47   Golden State's Draft History Under the Microscope 25:13   Kuminga's Murky Market Value 30:26   Kawhi Leonard Investigation Drags On 33:13   Wemby Lands His Nike Signature Shoe Deal 38:59   Quick Hits: Naji Marshall's Deal and Chris Bosh's Health Scare 40:18   Kelsey Plum Trade Shakes Up the WNBA 40:56   Perk's Controversial Top-5-in-the-East List 44:30   Big Shout of the Week: Lifeguard Ryder Williams 45:25   Where in the World Is Robert Horry?

  Big Shot Bob – Shoot Around Ep 142 – He’s Smelling Himself

  Jul 31, 202623 min

  It's a lighter Friday edition of Shoot Around, just Horry and Rob Jenners running through the week's fan questions and whatever's been living in their group chat.   They start with Austin Reaves catching heat for putting himself in his own all-time starting five (next to Steph, Kobe, LeBron, and Shaq, for the record), then get into Arizona State's new bachelor's degree in "influencing" and whether that's actually a legitimate skill set or just a punchline. That turns into a fun tangent about what they'd each go back to school for if money and logic weren't an issue.   From there it's an equitable-grading-scale story that has both of them fired up, a debate about participation trophies, and a trip down memory lane on old-school discipline. Then the mood shifts: Rick Moranis got a five-minute standing ovation at Comic-Con after coming out of retirement for Spaceballs 2, and the guys get into why that moment hit different, along with the actual Spaceballs 2 synopsis and whether it can live up to the original.   They close it out plotting their own eventual Comic-Con trip, including costume ideas for a seven-foot-tall Robert Horry.   00:00   Cold Open & Friday Check-In 01:36   Austin Reaves' All-Time Starting Five 03:57   Arizona State's Degree in Influencing 07:09   What They'd Go Back to School For 10:02   The Equitable Grading Scale Debate 12:34   Participation Trophies & Old-School Discipline 13:57   Rick Moranis' Comic-Con Standing Ovation 15:43   Spaceballs 2 Is Actually Happening 17:54   Comic-Con Costume Ideas & Bucket List
