Big Shot Bob Pod with Robert Horry

It's NBA Finals week, Game 2 is tonight, and the Shoot Around boys are doing exactly what they do on Fridays — talking about everything except the thing you'd expect them to talk about.



They kick things off with a listener correction from Twitter — turns out the Coach of the Year who got fired before the award came in was Dwayne Casey, not Lloyd Pierce (Rob was close). From there it's a full dive into the hero-to-villain arc: OKC went from everyone's favorite upstart to the team everyone wanted to see lose, almost overnight. Rob points to the Kansas City Chiefs as the gold standard of that flip — and SGA's habit of spending time on the floor didn't exactly help Oklahoma City's cause this year.



Then it's a two-part debate: who should retire and go to the broadcast desk, and who do you wish had kept playing? Russell Wilson heading to the CBS pregame show kicks things off, and the guys run through Draymond, Klay Thompson (Rob thinks he'd surprise people), Mike Trout, and Jameis Winston — who they both agree has a big bag waiting for him somewhere, whether it's Barstool or a network couch next to Shannon Sharpe and Gronk.



On the comeback side — Serena Williams is returning to play doubles at the HSBC Championships, which gets them talking about who they'd most want to see suit back up. Rob's answer: Pete Sampras. Casual greatness, no ego, just stroll in and handle business. Brandon picks Barry Sanders and Calvin Johnson — two guys who deserved so much better than what Detroit gave them.



And then the closer — the hot mic segment that was teased all week on Tuesday's show. LSU pitcher Devin Shearer gets warned by the umps, ESPN gets told to turn the field mics down, ESPN does not turn the field mics down. And then there's the Nebraska-Oklahoma State softball game, where an unidentified voice — still a mystery — delivered what might be the most unexpected phrase ever broadcast live on ESPN. Rob and Brandon's debate about who exactly says "ball sack" at a softball game is genuinely one of the funnier bits they've done.



In this episode:

OKC's hero-to-villain arc — and the Kansas City Chiefs comparison

SGA's foul-baiting and why fans turned on Oklahoma City

Big Shot Bob is LIVE from San Antonio for the NBA Finals, and this episode has that energy all the way through. Robert Horry, seven-time champion, is on-site for Podcast Row — flying in with Danny Green and Malika Andrews — and the boys waste no time getting into it.



They kick things off breaking down the Spurs' Game 7 win over OKC — and yes, Chet Holmgren gets the full treatment. Rob says Chet looked like a guy who had something going on off the court, comparing him to a boxer who famously broke down mid-fight. Zero field goal attempts in the second half on a team that needed him? Hard to defend. Meanwhile, San Antonio's Slash Brothers (Castle and Harper) and a 20-point Champagnie performance pushed them through to the Finals.



Then it's on to the NBA Finals preview — Spurs vs. Knicks. Rob and Brandon both lay out their cases for each team, get into what KAT has to do defensively against Wemby, why Castle turning the ball over could be fatal, and whether the Knicks' 11-game playoff win streak means anything against a team this different. Rob calls it: Spurs in six. Brandon hedges: Spurs in seven. They both agree — the Knicks' best shot is pace, pace, pace.



They also get into the Miles Garrett trade to the Rams, A.J. Brown heading back to the Patriots, Apple TV potentially coming after NFL rights, and Wembanyama's looming extension — a $251M base deal that could hit $301M with incentives. The Alamo jokes write themselves.



Big Shot of the Week goes to Arnett Johnson — a man who was unhoused in Miami and still stopped everything to help a lost six-year-old boy find his way home. Real one. And Rapid Fire is BACK, and somebody ends it at the buzzer on Captain Crunch. No spoilers on who.

Robert Horry, Rob Jenners, and Brandon Harper break down everything that matters in the NBA right now — and a few things that don't. Big Shot Bob is hosting a baby shower and hiding from 50 women, so naturally it's the perfect time to talk basketball. We dig deep into the OKC Thunder vs San Antonio Spurs Western Conference Finals with Game 6 on the horizon. The Spurs have been in a fistfight but the young bulls keep letting emotion get in the way. Robert has firsthand thoughts on what Gregg Popovich's halftime speeches actually do to a team — and a legendary story about the one time Pop yelled at him. Spoiler: Robert laughed.



Wemby is the conversation. He joined Bill Walton as the only player in NBA history with 300 points, 150 rebounds, and 50 blocks in their first postseason. But is he doing enough? We debate whether he needs to go full Kobe — get on the block and tell everybody to get out of the way — and why his grace and his aggression can coexist. Over in the East, we put the Cleveland Cavaliers series loss to the Knicks through the shredder. James Harden's stat line across four games is... rough. The coaching staff takes heat. And Kenny Atkinson already confirmed he's coming back next season, plus there are rumors of a Harden extension that have us concerned for Cleveland's future.



The flopping debate is real. A San Antonio fan brought a mini Oscar for SGA. Jay Williams called it exhausting. Robert says put some defense back in the damn game and Adam Silver needs to call in some old heads to sort it out. Plus: All-NBA teams are set, Jalen Brunson takes home the Larry Bird Trophy, the All-Rookie team is announced, and a man in Ohio jumps into a pond to save a mother and daughter — your Big Shot of the Week. Then we run Conference Finals Chaos — a trivia game covering NBA history milestones from this postseason. Longest Finals drought, back-to-back champions, three-peat MVP winners, and more.

Big Shot Bob is back and he's got thoughts on everything — Kevin Durant's mounting reputation problem, a boxing night gone sideways, and the fight stories you didn't know you needed to hear.



This week on Shoot Around, Rob Jenners, Brandon Harper, and NBA legend Robert Horry break down the Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano Netflix disaster (17 seconds, folks), revisit the Mayweather-Pacquiao letdown, and get into whether KD is officially more trouble than he's worth — Colin Cowherd's "boat analogy" sets off a whole debate. Then it's athletes who threw it all away (Latrell Sprewell and Dennis Rodman get called out), Peyton Manning's diabolical trash talk strategy, and some genuinely unhinged public fight stories to close things out.



Plus: Horry on the worst smells he's ever encountered, Edwin Diaz and the cockfighting controversy, and Robert Horry quietly admitting he jumped on someone's bad knee and then stepped aside while they ran into a backboard. Just another week.

Robert Horry, Rob Jenners, and Brandon Harper are back for episode 260 of the Big Shot Bob Podcast — and they had to wait a day to drop it because the NBA couldn't stop cooking.



Victor Wembanyama dropped 41 points and 24 rebounds in a double-overtime thriller against OKC — including a pull-up three from basically the logo that had Robert Horry's jaw on the floor. The guys break down what it means for the West Finals, why Stephon Castle needs to cut the turnovers, and whether Alex Caruso was really the right guy to put on a 7-foot alien.



Then there's Cleveland. The Cavs had a 99.9% win probability with eight minutes left and handed it right back to Jalen Brunson and the Knicks. Robert Horry has strong feelings about James Harden, Kenny Atkinson's timeout usage, and what happens to Cleveland's chances if they don't wake Donovan Mitchell up.



Plus: Jason Kidd gets fired in Dallas, SGA wins back-to-back MVPs and showers the Thunder roster with AP watches and Burberry trench coats (Dream and Shaq could never), Shams Charania blows up Prime Video's big MVP moment, Anthony Edwards daps up the Spurs bench with eight minutes still on the clock, and Jamal Mosley lands a head coaching job faster than most guys find an apartment.



The crew also plays Championship Connection — a new game where Rob gives Robert Horry a championship team and finds out who he shared the floor with. The '96 Bulls, '03 Spurs, '04 Pistons and more come up. The answers will surprise you.
