Big Shot Bob Pod with Robert Horry

It's a lighter one this week — just Robert Horry and Rob Jenners running through the leftover questions and stories that didn't fit into Wednesday's show. They kick things off with a Friday movie tangent (yes, the trilogy, not the day), then get into Conor McGregor's disastrous UFC comeback that ended in 69 seconds after he blew out his knee trying to fly-kick his way back into relevance.



From there it's a run of stories that had Horry and Jenners genuinely stumped: Senegal's World Cup medical staff reportedly included a gynecologist with no business treating a men's soccer team, and a 65-year-old grandfather at Yellowstone got launched nine feet in the air by a bison after a park ranger spooked it with a truck horn. That one turns into a full safari debate — which animals are actually the most dangerous, and Horry's very specific plan for surviving one (spoiler: it involves you, not him).



They also get into Carolina Hurricanes owner Tom Dundon engraving his wife and five kids onto the Stanley Cup ahead of the players and staff who actually won it, and close out with a listener question about Kristin Cavallari flying first class while her kids sit in coach. That turns into Horry breaking down his own family's travel rules, his stance on private jets, and the seat-booking trick he uses to keep the middle seat empty.

Robert Horry, Rob Jenners, and B-Dog are coming off a Summer League week that didn't go the way anybody in Vegas planned, and they've got a full show sheet to prove it. They open by picking apart the Wizards shutting down rookie AJ Johnson, detour into an actual geography lesson about where you can find a Piggly Wiggly in Georgia, and Rob gets reminded that talking trash on this show always finds its way back to him — this time from Wizards fans after he named Washington his League Pass dark horse.



From there it's a real basketball conversation. Horry breaks down training his son Christian in the gym for the first time in two years, and the guys dig into Jonathan Kuminga's stalled free agency before getting into the biggest story of the summer: Victor Wembanyama turning down the supermax to keep his young Spurs core paid. Horry explains why that move says more about Wemby's character than any stat line could, and the three of them go back and forth on whether he could become the first basketball billionaire — just not off American endorsement deals.



The Bam Adebayo–Tyler Herro dust-up gets the full breakdown, including Tim Hardaway's comments about Heat culture and what it actually means to have your guy's back in a locker room. Then it's LeBron for the better part of twenty minutes — who's really leading the sweepstakes between Cleveland, Golden State, Philly, and Miami, why Draymond Green opting into free agency might be a tell, and how weird it is that people are treating LeBron's every move at Fanatics Fest like a decision-day clue. They close out the trade talk with where things stand on Kawhi Leonard, the ongoing NBA investigation, and why the Clippers front office has more explaining to do than Adam Silver let on.



Once the basketball talk wraps, Avery Woolery — an 11-year-old kid from Kentucky who jumped in a pool to save a drowning man when the adults around him didn't — gets this week's Big Shot. And then the guys close out with a wild round of Black Crime or White Crime, headlined by maybe the strangest arson story any of them have ever read on air.

It's a lighter Friday edition of the Shootaround, and Robert Horry and Rob Jenners are catching up on everything they didn't get to during the July 4th break. First up: the NBA's new one-free-throw rule getting tested at Summer League, and why Horry thinks turning two free throws into one is a solution looking for a problem.



From there it's a quick hit on the Jaguars' reported talks to relocate to London, a look at which current NBA stars have stuck with their teams the longest (Steph Curry leads the pack, with Draymond Green and Devin Booker not far behind), and a debate over whether any of them actually retire where they are.



Then things get silly: a listener sends in a Pacman Jones clip claiming South Carolina had a McDonald's inside the football locker room, which sends Horry and Jenners down a rabbit hole on mispronounced words, a viral video of a five-year-old Mets fan begging to switch to the Yankees, and the fan bases everybody loves to hate on but never actually leaves.



They close things out on a genuinely good note, answering a listener question about the coolest thing Horry's ever done for someone else — a story about giving up hospital privileges for other families with sick kids.

19:00 Closing Thoughts & Sign-Off

It's been the wildest week of the NBA offseason, and Robert Horry, Rob Jenners, and B-Dog Brandon Harper have a lot to get through. The show kicks off with an argument nobody asked for — Rob's theory that every undersized, unathletic kid in America should just go play soccer — before the guys dig into the trade that broke Twitch: Jaylen Brown to the 76ers for Paul George and draft compensation.



They break down whether Boston's “JB and JT can't win a title together” reasoning holds up, debate how fast (or slow) Philly fans will actually embrace a guy who spent a decade calling them the enemy, and dig into what Paul George's fit looks like next to a Jayson Tatum-led Celtics squad.



From there it's a full lap around the Lakers, who added Luka Dončić, AR, and Walker Kessler to a roster that's got the internet cracking jokes about the “Mayo Mob” and “Live, Laugh, Lakers.” Horry and Harper get into the actual basketball case for the moves, what the Kessler trade cost L.A. in draft capital, and why Rui Hachimura bolted for the Clippers on a deal Horry thinks his agent should be fired over.



The back half covers the Wizards quietly stacking three former No. 1 picks, a Rich Paul clip that reignites the LeBron-to-Cleveland chatter, Donovan Mitchell's new max extension, and a run through free agency moves including Collin Sexton, Anfernee Simmons, and DeMar DeRozan hitting the open market. Pat McAfee gets Big Shout of the Week honors, and the guys close it out with a round of “History Repeating,” matching this year's NBA storylines to their 2018 twins.

The HUGE breaking news about LeBron James hits at the END of the show this week – so hang out until after the game for immediate reaction as it breaks!!



Seven-time NBA champion Robert Horry is joined by Rob Jenners and B-Dog Brandon Harper for an episode 266 packed with roster fallout from the start of free agency. The crew opens by digging into the Ja Morant trade to Portland, debating whether the Blazers’ backcourt logjam leaves Scoot Henderson on the outside looking in, before turning to the Grizzlies’ return and what comes next for both sides.



From there the guys work through a stacked Western Conference storyline: Draymond Green opting out and the running joke about a Warriors-LeBron pairing, the Lakers’ retention of Austin Reaves on a four-year max deal, DeAndre Ayton’s player option, and what it would actually take for the Lakers to chase Jalen Duren in restricted free agency. Horry and Harper go back and forth on whether DeAndre Ayton has been put in a position to succeed in LA, and whether San Antonio makes sense as a landing spot if the Lakers move on.



The conversation shifts to Charlotte sending LaMelo Ball to Minnesota, with the hosts debating whether that pairing with Anthony Edwards is really the best backcourt in the league or just the most entertaining one. They also touch on Golden State’s decision to move on from Jonathan Kuminga, a possible Kawhi Leonard return to Toronto, and where Jaylen Brown trade rumors actually stand.



A rundown of the week’s free agency moves follows — James Harden, Andrew Wiggins, Bradley Beal, Landry Shamet, Isaiah Hartenstein, Lu Dort, Julian Champagnie and Jose Alvarado all get a mention — before the show heads into Big Shout of the Week, honoring a school resource officer in Phoenix who paid out of pocket to take an entire class to the movies. The episode closes with a brand new trivia segment, Shams Is Reporting, and ends on a piece of breaking news about LeBron James’ future with the Lakers that catches the whole crew off guard.
