    Big Shot Bob – Ep 271 – Drugs or Dog Food

    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

    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

    Big Shot Bob – Ep 270 – OG Original Grandpa

    Robert Horry is back at his mom's house for the week, which means the guys start with fried catfish, La Spata's subs, and why Hardee's steak biscuits are undefeated — before getting into the biggest story of the NBA offseason.   LeBron James is headed to Philadelphia on a deal that pays him a fraction of what he's made in years past, and Horry, Jenners, and B-Dawg break down what that actually means for the Sixers. They get into the point guard experiment, whether Tyrese Maxey's game gets hurt by it, who's playing the three now that KCP and V.J. Edgecomb are both in the mix, and why Horry has real concerns about the helicopter commute rumors after what happened to Kobe.   From there it turns into a full GOAT conversation. Horry explains why he judges players by their weaknesses instead of their strengths, makes the case for Kobe belonging in the same breath as Jordan and LeBron, and lays out what it would actually mean for LeBron's legacy if he wins a title in Philly. The guys also grade the Sixers' defense, run through Draymond re-signing with the Warriors, and catch everyone up on the East, which is suddenly loaded.   Plus: the wildest stat of the week (a Miami football transfer quarterback is about to out-earn LeBron, Caitlin Clark, and Shohei Ohtani combined), a debate over people calling the NBA the "MNBA," Big Shot of the Week honoring a firefighter who pulled three kids out of a capsized boat, and Rapid Fire makes its return.   Subscribe for new episodes of the Big Shot Bob Podcast every week, and catch Shoot Around for the extended cut and extra bits.   00:00  Cold Open & Episode 270 Kickoff 01:38  Robert Horry's Trip Home & Comfort Food Talk 04:51  LeBron James Signs with the 76ers 08:19  Point Guard Experiment & Roster Fit Questions 12:45  The Helicopter Commute Rumor 15:47  Title Odds, National TV Games & Best Memes 18:38  Embiid's Health Promise to LeBron 19:57  Does a Title in Philly Make LeBron the GOAT? 22:31  Judging Jordan, Kobe & LeBron by Their Weaknesses 32:37  LeBron's New Role & Mentoring Embiid and Maxey 35:00  Grading the Sixers' Defense 37:28  Draymond Green Re-Signs & Steph Curry Trade Odds 38:38  Free Agency Roundup: KCP, Pistons, Jalen Duren 41:33  The Eastern Conference Gets Loaded 46:04  Craziest Stat: Miami's $6.5M Quarterback 47:50  WNBA Pay & the "MNBA" Nickname Debate 49:16  Big Shot of the Week: Firefighter's Water Rescue 50:27  Rapid Fire Returns: Horry vs. Harper 58:12  Family News & Becoming Grandpa 'OG'

    Big Shot Bob – Shoot Around Ep 141 – On The Backside of Things

    Friday means it's Shoot Around time — episode 141 of everything that didn't make the cut on Tuesday. Robert Horry, Rob Jenner, and B-Dawg kick things off with the Avengers: Doomsday trailer, going deep on Doctor Doom vs. Darkseid, the Victor Von Doom fan theories, and why nobody's mad Deadpool got left out of the trailer. From there it's Mike Tyson somehow not knowing Shohei Ohtani is a guy, the World Cup halftime show comparison to the Super Bowl, and an all-time debate over the best halftime performance ever.   Horry drops a story nobody knew about him — turns out he was actually a contestant on The Dating Game back in his playing days, and the behind-the-scenes details are wild. Then it's your questions: Caitlin Clark's record-breaking 45-point night and whether the WNBA needs an enforcer out there, the Florida grandma with the license plate that read a little differently than intended, and the ongoing mystery of people crawling in and out of the New York City sewer system with headlamps and shovels.   Loose, off-topic, and exactly what Shoot Around is supposed to be.

    Big Shot Bob – Ep 269 – The LeBron James Hostage Situation

    Episode 269 and we're sneaking up on the big 300 milestone. Robert Horry, Rob Jenner, and B-Dog get into it on everything going on around the league, starting with the LeBron James free agency saga that's now held the entire schedule hostage for three weeks running. The guys break down the shifting odds between Miami, Cleveland, and Philly, dig into why nobody thinks the Knicks have a shot, and Rob Horry gets personal about the "just make a decision" frustration versus understanding LeBron's family situation with his daughter.   From there it's a full free agency roundup — DeMar DeRozan possibly heading back to San Antonio, Draymond Green's future tied entirely to LeBron's decision, and the Lou Dort three-team trade that sent him to Atlanta while OKC stacked up draft picks. The Warriors' Summer League championship run gets its own segment, with the guys going deep on their new draft pick and why he might be the reason Draymond doesn't come back to Golden State.   Also on deck: an early 2026 rookie class debate, an Anthony Davis interview clip that gets Horry fired up about "40-plus wins," the ongoing Gary Trent Jr. cap circumvention investigation, and a Big Shot of the Week shoutout to a Kansas City police officer who tracked down a stolen e-bike for a cancer patient. Then things go completely off the rails with the Waffle House training video breakdown and a new round of Walmart or Waffle House.   New episodes every Tuesday.

    Big Shot Bob – Shoot Around Ep 140 – Bison Face

    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.   New episodes of the Big Shot Bob Podcast drop every Tuesday, and Shoot Around runs right behind it every Friday with the leftovers, the tangents, and the stuff that got cut for time.

    Big Shot Bob – Ep 268 – Take Me To My Grandmomma’s House

    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.   00:00  Cold Open: Vegas Summer League Fallout 01:00  AJ Johnson Shut Down & Rookie Development 03:00  Piggly Wiggly Rabbit Hole 04:30  Wizards Dark Horse Pick Comes Back to Bite Rob 06:00  Horry's Week: Disney Trip & Training Christian 08:00  Kuminga Free Agency & Lakers Buzz 09:30  Wemby Turns Down the Supermax 14:00  Could Wemby Be Basketball's Next Billionaire? 16:00  Bam vs. Tyler Herro: What Really Happened 18:30  Heat Culture Debate & Tim Hardaway's Comments 22:00  LeBron Sweepstakes: Who's Really In the Mix 26:30  LeBron and Draymond's Unlikely Friendship 27:30  Decoding LeBron's Decision Timeline 29:00  Cleveland, Philly, or Golden State? 33:00  Weighing Miami's Case in a Loaded East 37:00  Kawhi Trade Stuck in NBA Investigation Limbo 41:00  Free Agency Roundup: Trent Jr. & Clarkson 42:00  Big Shot of the Week: 11-Year-Old Pool Hero 43:00  Black Crime or White Crime

    Big Shot Bob – Shoot Around Ep 139 – I Hate This Team

    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.   00:00  Cold Open & Intro 00:30  Should the NBA Test a One-Free-Throw Rule? 04:00  Should the Jaguars Move to London? 06:00  Giannis Leaves Milwaukee: Who's Been There Longest? 08:00  Will Any of These NBA Stars Retire Elsewhere? 10:00  The Great McDonald's-in-the-Locker-Room Debate 12:00  Words We All Mispronounce (Pecan, Caribbean & More) 13:00  A Viral Mets Kid Breaks Everyone's Heart 15:00  Fanbases We Love to Hate On 17:30  Listener Question: The Coolest Thing You've Ever Done 19:00  Closing Thoughts & Sign-Off
