<p class="MsoNormal">It's Friday, which means it's time for Shoot Around. Before getting into the usual nonsense, Robert Horry, Rob, and Harp pause to mark the 25th anniversary of 9/11, sharing where they were that morning and how it shaped their generation the way JFK's assassination shaped their parents'.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Then it's back to business as usual: the power outage that hit the SMU-FSU game right before kickoff leads to a rundown of the worst stadiums the guys have ever played in or visited, from a swaying old Orange Bowl to a Georgia Tech campus with no Wi-Fi.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Plus, the guys react to the wild story of a man who used a fake NFL persona to scam 26 women out of over a million dollars, Robert tells a story about a former teammate who ran the same play at the club for years, and the crew debates whether ESPN putting a random fan on camera at a college football game is doing more harm than good.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">It's the usual mix of laughs, hot takes, and Robert almost getting caught by his wife — Friday wouldn't be Friday without it.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .75pt; tab-stops: 201.2pt;">00:00<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Intro: It's Friday, It's Shoot Around</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .75pt; tab-stops: 201.2pt;">00:47<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Remembering 9/11, 25 Years Later</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .75pt; tab-stops: 201.2pt;">06:57<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>FSU's Power Outage & the Worst Stadiums They've Played</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .75pt; tab-stops: 201.2pt;">13:45<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Fake NFL Player Catfishing Scandal</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .75pt; tab-stops: 201.2pt;">15:38<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Teammate Who Faked Being an NBA Player</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .75pt; tab-stops: 201.2pt;">18:09<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Viral “Hot Girl” Camera Moment Debate</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .75pt; tab-stops: 201.2pt;">21:40<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>DMs, Marriage, and Getting Caught in the Bit</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Robert Horry, Rob, and Harp are back after a Labor Day break that somehow lined up with the biggest week in the NBA all year. The NBA came down on the Clippers hard for the Kawhi Leonard cap circumvention mess — five first-round picks, a $30 million fine for Steve Ballmer, suspensions across the front office, and a slap on the wrist for Kawhi himself. The guys break down whether this is the worst free agent signing in league history, rip apart Kawhi's tone-deaf statement from his camp, and debate what real punishment should have looked like.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">From there, Charles Barkley may have let a huge secret slip on Bill Simmons' show: if Ernie Johnson steps away from Inside the NBA, so does Chuck. The crew talks about why nobody in the business could ever replace Ernie, and shares a story about the kind of man he is off camera.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Plus: Jonathan Kuminga finally lands with the Timberwolves, Amen Thompson gets paid by the Rockets, Ben Simmons signs with the Kings, and the guys get into college football's chaotic Week 1 — the LSU vs. SEC drama, Michigan's controversial finish, and Dabo Swinney's rough night in Death Valley — before locking in their Week 2 picks.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Big Shot of the Week goes to a race car driver who stopped mid-race to pull a rival from a burning car. Then the guys close it out with Busted, a game built around the ugliest penalties and scandals in sports history.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .75pt; tab-stops: 201.2pt;">00:00<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Back from the Labor Day Break</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .75pt; tab-stops: 201.2pt;">02:55<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>NBA Hammers the Clippers Over Kawhi</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .75pt; tab-stops: 201.2pt;">09:08<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Worst Free Agent Signing in NBA History?</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .75pt; tab-stops: 201.2pt;">12:59<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Breaking Down Kawhi's Statement</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .75pt; tab-stops: 201.2pt;">21:01<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Charles Barkley's Ernie Johnson Bombshell</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .75pt; tab-stops: 201.2pt;">25:09<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Remembering Ernie Johnson's Legacy</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .75pt; tab-stops: 201.2pt;">28:52<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kuminga Signs with the Timberwolves</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .75pt; tab-stops: 201.2pt;">32:03<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Amen Thompson's Extension & Ben Simmons to the Kings</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .75pt; tab-stops: 201.2pt;">34:12<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>College Football Week 1 Rundown</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .75pt; tab-stops: 201.2pt;">34:35<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Michigan's Controversial Finish</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .75pt; tab-stops: 201.2pt;">35:32<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>LSU and the SEC Expulsion Talk</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .75pt; tab-stops: 201.2pt;">38:47<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dabo Swinney and Clemson's Rough Night</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .75pt; tab-stops: 201.2pt;">43:47<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Week 2 Picks: Oklahoma-Michigan & Alabama-Kentucky</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .75pt; tab-stops: 201.2pt;">46:17<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Week 2 Picks: Tennessee-Georgia Tech & Ohio State-Texas</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .75pt; tab-stops: 201.2pt;">51:43<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Big Shot of the Week</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .75pt; tab-stops: 201.2pt;">54:06<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Busted: NBA and NFL Scandals</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We open this week’s Shoot Around with the wild story out of Ohio: 49ers owner Jed York getting caught up in a prostitution sting over a $140 ad, and the guys break down why guys with that kind of money still make choices like that. That leads into a detour on Flock license-plate cameras popping up everywhere, capped off by a city hall speech from a guy in a full Darth Vader costume that has to be heard to be believed.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">From there it's Target's Halloween costume controversy - the one that got pulled and forced a public apology - which turns into a rundown of the worst, most tone-deaf costumes the guys have personally witnessed. There's also a detour into kids' shows sneaking jokes in for the parents, courtesy of a very memorable Bluey-style clip about the letter N.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">We close out with a start-bench-cut sent over from Clutch Points: SGA, Luka Doncic and Anthony Edwards. Nobody wants to do it, but somebody's gotta cut a superstar.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">00:00 Friday Shoot Around Kickoff (Rob's on Birthday Break)</p> <p class="MsoNormal">00:38 NFL Owner Jed York's $140 Prostitution Sting</p> <p class="MsoNormal">03:42 Flock Cameras & the Darth Vader City Hall Rant</p> <p class="MsoNormal">06:08 Target's Halloween Costume Controversy & Worst Costumes</p> <p class="MsoNormal">10:05 Kids' Shows Sneaking in Jokes for the Parents</p> <p class="MsoNormal">12:05 Start, Bench, Cut: SGA, Luka & Ant-Man</p> <p class="MsoNormal">17:03 Wrap-Up & Where to Find the Show</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It's Big Shot Bob's birthday, and the fellas are treating themselves to a full plate of NBA offseason news before diving into some early football talk. Robert Horry turns 56 and gets the royal treatment from Rob and Harp right out of the gate, then the crew steps around the Enes Kanter WNBA drama entirely (on purpose) and gets into real basketball: the Wemby-Jokic showdown at the FIBA World Cup, James Harden's new deal pushing him toward the $500 million club, and whether a ring even matters at this point in his career.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">From there it's a run through NBA free agency - Klay Thompson heading to Miami and immediately getting into it with people on Instagram, DeMar DeRozan's veteran-minimum move to Denver, and the five-team trade that sent Peyton Watson to Cleveland and Dennis Schroder to yet another team. Rob and Harp also break down ESPN's early East and West power rankings and argue about where Houston, Denver and the Hawks really stand heading into the season.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Football gets its turn too. Deshaun Watson is Cleveland's Week 1 starter, but he's not exactly getting a warm welcome from Browns fans - the guys dig into why, and Robert shares what it's like handling a hostile crowd as a pro. There's also a wild new ruling letting former NFL players return to college football, a debate the guys can't fully agree on, plus a Big Shot of the Week that'll actually make you feel good about people. They close it out old school with a Shootaround battle covering birds, cities, banners and number one picks.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">00:00<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rob Horry's 56th Birthday Kickoff</p> <p class="MsoNormal">03:12<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Addressing (and Skipping) the Enes Kanter Talk</p> <p class="MsoNormal">04:38<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>FIBA World Cup: Wemby vs. Jokic</p> <p class="MsoNormal">08:52<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>James Harden's New Deal & the $500M Club</p> <p class="MsoNormal">16:02<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Klay Thompson Signs With the Miami Heat</p> <p class="MsoNormal">20:15<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nuggets Sign DeMar DeRozan</p> <p class="MsoNormal">21:40<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Five-Team Trade: Peyton Watson to Cleveland</p> <p class="MsoNormal">24:35<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>ESPN's Early Western Conference Power Rankings</p> <p class="MsoNormal">27:03<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>ESPN's Early Eastern Conference Power Rankings</p> <p class="MsoNormal">32:08<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Deshaun Watson Named Browns QB1</p> <p class="MsoNormal">39:20<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>New Ruling Lets NFL Players Return to College Ball</p> <p class="MsoNormal">45:02<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Week Zero Picks: North Carolina vs. TCU</p> <p class="MsoNormal">47:35<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Big Shot of the Week: Rebuilding a Stolen Bakery Stand</p> <p class="MsoNormal">48:33<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Shootaround: Teams Not Named After a City</p> <p class="MsoNormal">50:35<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Shootaround: National Champs of the Last 25 Years</p> <p class="MsoNormal">53:03<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Shootaround: Teams Named After Birds</p> <p class="MsoNormal">54:35<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Shootaround: Franchises With Multiple Championships</p> <p class="MsoNormal">57:22<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Shootaround Finale & Birthday Sign-Off</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It's Friday, which means it's time for Shoot Around. The guys kick things off with NBA 2K27 dropping soon and try to guess the top 10 rated players in the game before it releases, and let's just say a couple of MVP-caliber names slip right past them.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">From there they run through which teams landed the most nationally televised games this season (four teams are tied at the top) and which teams barely made the schedule at all, before diving into the Jayden Daniels and LSU jersey number situation and what it says about how seriously players protect their old college numbers.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">There's a fun detour into jersey number stories from Rob's own career, the week's audio clip of the year courtesy of a very unfiltered local newscast, and a time capsule dig through a 1997 TNT clip covering the trade that sent Rob from Phoenix to LA.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">They close things out with a fan question about NBA Jam duos, which sends the whole crew down a rabbit hole of arcade nostalgia, from Mortal Kombat to Cruisin' USA.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">00:00<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Cold Open: It's Friday, 2K27 Is Almost Here</p> <p class="MsoNormal">00:48<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Guessing the NBA 2K27 Top 10 Rated Players</p> <p class="MsoNormal">04:58<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Guessing the Most (and Least) Nationally Televised Teams</p> <p class="MsoNormal">07:39<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Jayden Daniels vs. LSU Over His Retired Number</p> <p class="MsoNormal">08:27<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Jersey Number Pride: Steve Blake, Michael Irvin & More</p> <p class="MsoNormal">13:09<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Audio of the Week: Good Day Detroit's Beaver Segment</p> <p class="MsoNormal">15:33<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Time Capsule: The 1997 Towel Trade to the Lakers</p> <p class="MsoNormal">18:07<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Fan Question: Who Beats Rob and Dream in NBA Jam?</p> <p class="MsoNormal">22:39<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Favorite Arcade Games From Back in the Day</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">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.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">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.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">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.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">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.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">00:00<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Cold Open: Water Temps, Steak Orders & Asparagus Chaos</p> <p class="MsoNormal">05:49<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Lakers Ownership Drama: Jeanie Buss Won't Sell</p> <p class="MsoNormal">09:20<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Who Could Help Jeanie Buy Out Her Family?</p> <p class="MsoNormal">15:29<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Clippers Cap Case Update & Forbes Valuations Teased</p> <p class="MsoNormal">20:48<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Russell Westbrook Retires After 18 Seasons</p> <p class="MsoNormal">24:02<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Ranking the Last 2000s Stars Still Playing</p> <p class="MsoNormal">26:09<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Paul George's Health and Longevity</p> <p class="MsoNormal">27:25<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Horry Snubbed Again: Breaking Down the 2026 HOF Class</p> <p class="MsoNormal">33:41<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Reviving the Campaign to Get Horry In</p> <p class="MsoNormal">35:51<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>2026 Schedule's Best Revenge Games</p> <p class="MsoNormal">38:20<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Is Philly's Schedule Too Easy This Year?</p> <p class="MsoNormal">43:17<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Quick Hits: Beal Signs, KG & Taurasi Retire, Schroder Traded</p> <p class="MsoNormal">45:15<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Big Shot of the Week: Teen's 3D-Printed Wheelchair</p> <p class="MsoNormal">46:51<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Buy My Team: Knicks-Clippers & Cowboys-Patriots</p> <p class="MsoNormal">48:13<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Buy My Team: Mets-Braves & Bulls-Heat</p> <p class="MsoNormal">49:35<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Buy My Team: Falcons-Panthers & Dodgers-Yankees</p> <p class="MsoNormal">51:55<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Buy My Team: Hawks-Cavs, Eagles-Giants & Rays-Marlins</p> <p class="MsoNormal">55:33<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Buy My Team: Chiefs-Ravens Finale</p> <p class="MsoNormal">57:02<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Wrap-Up: Football Season and Picks Are Coming Back</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">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.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">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.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">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.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">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.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">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.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">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.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">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.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">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.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">00:00<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kickoff: Just Rob and Rob This Week</p> <p class="MsoNormal">01:34<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Christmas Day Slate Revealed</p> <p class="MsoNormal">02:34<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jokic, Steph and the Nuggets-Warriors Debate</p> <p class="MsoNormal">07:05<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>NBA Opening Week Schedule</p> <p class="MsoNormal">08:04<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Pistons Outlook and the Jalen Duren Standoff</p> <p class="MsoNormal">10:34<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Old-School Contract Holdout Stories</p> <p class="MsoNormal">12:34<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Setting Up 82 and 0</p> <p class="MsoNormal">14:11<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kawhi's Latest Secret Endorsement Deal</p> <p class="MsoNormal">15:34<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The 2019 Clippers Free Agency Allegations</p> <p class="MsoNormal">20:34<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Will Kawhi Suit Up This Season?</p> <p class="MsoNormal">22:34<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dillon Brooks Cashes In</p> <p class="MsoNormal">24:34<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Wemby's Paris Minicamp</p> <p class="MsoNormal">27:05<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>VJ Edgecombe's LeBron FaceTime Story</p> <p class="MsoNormal">29:34<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Scottie Pippen Sounds Off on Zion</p> <p class="MsoNormal">37:34<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Remembering Don Nelson</p> <p class="MsoNormal">39:30<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Vinatieri's Hall of Fame Roast</p> <p class="MsoNormal">40:55<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>QVC Wig Clip of the Week</p> <p class="MsoNormal">42:32<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Big Shot of the Week: Dave Bell</p> <p class="MsoNormal">43:36<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Playing 82 and 0</p> <p class="MsoNormal">53:03<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>TV Talk and Sign-Off</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">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.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">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.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI Emoji',sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Segoe UI Emoji';">🏀</span> Catch the full conversation every Tuesday on the main Big Shot Bob Podcast feed, with Shoot Around dropping every Friday right here.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">00:00<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Cold Open</p> <p class="MsoNormal">00:18<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Welcome to the Shoot Around — Socials and How to Reach the Show</p> <p class="MsoNormal">00:47<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Martha Reeves' National Anthem for the Women's Pro Baseball League</p> <p class="MsoNormal">02:30<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Guys React to the Anthem</p> <p class="MsoNormal">04:04<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mailbag: Ranking LeBron, KD, and Steph Heading Into Next Season</p> <p class="MsoNormal">10:34<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Harrison Bader's Scooter-vs-Firetruck Injury</p> <p class="MsoNormal">11:38<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Locker Room Stories — Any Accident-Prone Teammates?</p> <p class="MsoNormal">12:50<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mailbag: The College Eligibility Loophole Story</p> <p class="MsoNormal">15:10<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>NIL Money and Whether the Loophole Should Exist</p> <p class="MsoNormal">17:03<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mailbag: Thoughts on Spider-Man: Brand New Day</p> <p class="MsoNormal">18:01<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Is Tom Holland the Best Spider-Man?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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).</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">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.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">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.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">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.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI Emoji',sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Segoe UI Emoji';">🏀</span> New episodes of Big Shot Bob every Tuesday, with Shoot Around dropping Fridays.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">00:00<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Cold Open</p> <p class="MsoNormal">01:02<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Live From Iceland — Setting the Scene</p> <p class="MsoNormal">01:15<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Robert Horry's Basketball Camp in Reykjavik</p> <p class="MsoNormal">04:25<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Iceland Travel Talk and Culture Shock</p> <p class="MsoNormal">06:50<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dodgers' Skubal Trade Sparks Lakers Pressure</p> <p class="MsoNormal">07:54<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lakers' Roster Crunch — No More Splash Moves</p> <p class="MsoNormal">09:53<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Klay Thompson Free Agency Buzz</p> <p class="MsoNormal">14:04<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Extension Watch: Anthony Davis and Karl-Anthony Towns</p> <p class="MsoNormal">18:11<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Is It Time for the Warriors to Move On From Steph?</p> <p class="MsoNormal">23:47<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Golden State's Draft History Under the Microscope</p> <p class="MsoNormal">25:13<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kuminga's Murky Market Value</p> <p class="MsoNormal">30:26<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kawhi Leonard Investigation Drags On</p> <p class="MsoNormal">33:13<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Wemby Lands His Nike Signature Shoe Deal</p> <p class="MsoNormal">38:59<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Quick Hits: Naji Marshall's Deal and Chris Bosh's Health Scare</p> <p class="MsoNormal">40:18<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kelsey Plum Trade Shakes Up the WNBA</p> <p class="MsoNormal">40:56<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Perk's Controversial Top-5-in-the-East List</p> <p class="MsoNormal">44:30<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Big Shout of the Week: Lifeguard Ryder Williams</p> <p class="MsoNormal">45:25<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Where in the World Is Robert Horry?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">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.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">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.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">They close it out plotting their own eventual Comic-Con trip, including costume ideas for a seven-foot-tall Robert Horry.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">00:00<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Cold Open & Friday Check-In</p> <p class="MsoNormal">01:36<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Austin Reaves' All-Time Starting Five</p> <p class="MsoNormal">03:57<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Arizona State's Degree in Influencing</p> <p class="MsoNormal">07:09<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What They'd Go Back to School For</p> <p class="MsoNormal">10:02<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Equitable Grading Scale Debate</p> <p class="MsoNormal">12:34<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Participation Trophies & Old-School Discipline</p> <p class="MsoNormal">13:57<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rick Moranis' Comic-Con Standing Ovation</p> <p class="MsoNormal">15:43<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Spaceballs 2 Is Actually Happening</p> <p class="MsoNormal">17:54<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Comic-Con Costume Ideas & Bucket List</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">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.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">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.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">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.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Subscribe for new episodes of the Big Shot Bob Podcast every week, and catch Shoot Around for the extended cut and extra bits.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">00:00<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Cold Open & Episode 270 Kickoff</p> <p class="MsoNormal">01:38<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Robert Horry's Trip Home & Comfort Food Talk</p> <p class="MsoNormal">04:51<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>LeBron James Signs with the 76ers</p> <p class="MsoNormal">08:19<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Point Guard Experiment & Roster Fit Questions</p> <p class="MsoNormal">12:45<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Helicopter Commute Rumor</p> <p class="MsoNormal">15:47<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Title Odds, National TV Games & Best Memes</p> <p class="MsoNormal">18:38<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Embiid's Health Promise to LeBron</p> <p class="MsoNormal">19:57<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Does a Title in Philly Make LeBron the GOAT?</p> <p class="MsoNormal">22:31<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Judging Jordan, Kobe & LeBron by Their Weaknesses</p> <p class="MsoNormal">32:37<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>LeBron's New Role & Mentoring Embiid and Maxey</p> <p class="MsoNormal">35:00<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Grading the Sixers' Defense</p> <p class="MsoNormal">37:28<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Draymond Green Re-Signs & Steph Curry Trade Odds</p> <p class="MsoNormal">38:38<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Free Agency Roundup: KCP, Pistons, Jalen Duren</p> <p class="MsoNormal">41:33<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Eastern Conference Gets Loaded</p> <p class="MsoNormal">46:04<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Craziest Stat: Miami's $6.5M Quarterback</p> <p class="MsoNormal">47:50<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>WNBA Pay & the "MNBA" Nickname Debate</p> <p class="MsoNormal">49:16<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Big Shot of the Week: Firefighter's Water Rescue</p> <p class="MsoNormal">50:27<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rapid Fire Returns: Horry vs. Harper</p> <p class="MsoNormal">58:12<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Family News & Becoming Grandpa 'OG'</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">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.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Loose, off-topic, and exactly what Shoot Around is supposed to be.

<p class="MsoNormal">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.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">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.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">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.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">New episodes every Tuesday.

<p class="MsoNormal">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.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">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).</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">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.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">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.

<p class="MsoNormal">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.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">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.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">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.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">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.

<p class="MsoNormal">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.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">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.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">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.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">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.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">00:00<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Cold Open & Intro</p> <p class="MsoNormal">00:30<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Should the NBA Test a One-Free-Throw Rule?</p> <p class="MsoNormal">04:00<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Should the Jaguars Move to London?</p> <p class="MsoNormal">06:00<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Giannis Leaves Milwaukee: Who's Been There Longest?</p> <p class="MsoNormal">08:00<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Will Any of These NBA Stars Retire Elsewhere?</p> <p class="MsoNormal">10:00<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Great McDonald's-in-the-Locker-Room Debate</p> <p class="MsoNormal">12:00<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Words We All Mispronounce (Pecan, Caribbean & More)</p> <p class="MsoNormal">13:00<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A Viral Mets Kid Breaks Everyone's Heart</p> <p class="MsoNormal">15:00<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Fanbases We Love to Hate On</p> <p class="MsoNormal">17:30<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Listener Question: The Coolest Thing You've Ever Done</p> <p class="MsoNormal">19:00<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Closing Thoughts & Sign-Off</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">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.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">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.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">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.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">00:00<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Cold Open & Intro</p> <p class="MsoNormal">01:30<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Should American Kids Just Play Soccer?</p> <p class="MsoNormal">09:30<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jaylen Brown Traded to the Sixers</p> <p class="MsoNormal">12:00<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Do Fans Really Forgive Former Rivals?</p> <p class="MsoNormal">16:00<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Will Philly Embrace Jaylen Brown?</p> <p class="MsoNormal">19:00<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Shams' Report: Were Tatum & Brown Really Done?</p> <p class="MsoNormal">21:30<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Paul George Heads to Boston</p> <p class="MsoNormal">26:30<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Tatum Becomes the Guy in Boston</p> <p class="MsoNormal">28:30<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lakers' New Look Sparks TikTok Nicknames</p> <p class="MsoNormal">31:00<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Breaking Down the Walker Kessler Trade</p> <p class="MsoNormal">35:00<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rui Hachimura Bolts for the Clippers</p> <p class="MsoNormal">42:30<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Wizards Land Three Former No. 1 Picks</p> <p class="MsoNormal">44:00<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rich Paul's LeBron-to-Knicks Bombshell</p> <p class="MsoNormal">46:30<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Where Does LeBron Land?

<p class="MsoNormal">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!!</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">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.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">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.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">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.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">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.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">New episodes of the Big Shot Bob Podcast drop every week, with the bonus show Shoot Around dropping Fridays.

<p class="MsoNormal">It's Friday, which means Rob Jenners, Robert Horry, and B-Dog are back to clear the table on everything that didn't make it into Tuesday's show. Episode 138 of the Shoot Around goes hard on KD's revisionist history, the top NBA salaries heading into next season, and a rapid-fire rumor mill that covers LeBron, Ja Morant, the Knicks' title defense, and what San Antonio needs to stay dangerous.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">First up: Kevin Durant went on a Barstool podcast this week and tried to explain why he left OKC for Golden State back in 2016 — claiming the Warriors were basically underdogs when he showed up. The guys are not buying it. At all. Rob runs through the receipts: 73-9, the 67-win season before that, the title, the back-to-back three-point records. Big Shot Bob's verdict? KD just be talking.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Then it's a quick trivia spin on the top 10 NBA salaries going into next year. Steph Curry sits at number one at $62.5 million — at 38 years old. The guys try to fill in the rest of the list: Jokic, Tatum, AD, Giannis, Embiid, Jaylen Brown, Devin Booker, KAT, and Jimmy Butler round it out. Luka, for the record, is not on it.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">From there it's rumor mill time. Is Ja Morant actually movable, or does that $42 million contract scare everyone off? How long before LeBron makes a call — and does he go back to the Lakers, consider Cleveland, or is there an outside shot he links up with Giannis in Miami? The Knicks just won a title but James Dolan's already drawing a line at the second apron, which means Clarkson, Robinson, and Shamet are probably all walking. And San Antonio: what exactly do the Spurs spend their $44 million in cap space on to get back to where they were in the Finals?</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Harp floats Dwight Howard as a San Antonio option. Rob closes his laptop. The show pretty much ends itself from there.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">New episodes of the Shoot Around drop every Friday.

<p class="MsoNormal">The NBA decided not to wait. Before the 2026 draft even got underway, the league flipped on its head — and Rob Jenners, Robert Horry, and B-Dog are here to make sense of all of it on Episode 265 of the Big Shot Bob Podcast.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">The big story: Giannis Antetokounmpo is headed to the Miami Heat. The guys break down the full package Milwaukee got back — Tyler Herro, Kyle Lowry, Jaime Jaquez Jr., three first-round picks including the 13th overall, and more — and debate whether Miami actually pulled off a heist or just handed Pat Riley a roster puzzle he has to solve before training camp. Seven-time champion Robert Horry has thoughts on all of it, including the part where the Heat now need to figure out a bench situation in a hurry.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Then there's Jaylen Brown. He was reportedly part of Boston's pitch to Milwaukee, and now that Giannis ended up somewhere else, what exactly do the Celtics have on their hands? The guys dig into whether that relationship can be repaired, whether JB's Twitch stream has become his de facto press conference, and what three years left on a big contract actually means when a player wants out.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Minnesota gets its own segment — and not in a good way. Julius Randle is gone to Brooklyn, Ant Man's frustration has been an open secret for a while, and the Timberwolves are burning through roster pieces faster than they're building anything. The guys ask the obvious question: what are you actually doing over there?</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">From there it's draft night preview mode — the consensus top four, what the Clippers might do at five, and Rob's take on what Atlanta should be targeting at pick eight. Plus Dusty Mays leaving Michigan (off a national title, no less) to take the Dallas head coaching job, Trae Young locking up a four-year deal in Washington, and what a healthy Trae-plus-AD situation could realistically mean for the Wizards.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">The Knicks parade happened, and Rob has been to seven of these things. He ranks them. The crew also gives a well-deserved Big Shot of the Week to Simone Kelly, the off-duty EMT who revived an overdose victim during the celebration — and then had to fend off the guy she just saved.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">They close it out with Shot Clock — Rob can't name more than one beer, Harp rattles off 11 Knicks in 10 seconds, and somebody names Phoenix as a state. It's that kind of show.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Subscribe and hit the bell so you never miss an episode.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">00:00 — Cold Open / Intro</p> <p class="MsoNormal">00:30 — The NBA Is Moving Fast: Setting the Table</p> <p class="MsoNormal">01:30 — Giannis to Miami: Breaking Down the Trade</p> <p class="MsoNormal">03:00 — Was the Bucks' Haul Enough?</p> <p class="MsoNormal">06:00 — Miami's Roster Gaps & Norman Powell's Decision</p> <p class="MsoNormal">08:00 — Is Miami a Legitimate Championship Contender?</p> <p class="MsoNormal">10:30 — Jaylen Brown & the Celtics Fallout</p> <p class="MsoNormal">15:30 — Minnesota Trades Randle: Where Does This Leave the Wolves?</p> <p class="MsoNormal">18:00 — Finding Out You've Been Traded (Robert Horry Stories)</p> <p class="MsoNormal">22:00 — 2026 NBA Draft Preview: Top Picks & Top Picks</p> <p class="MsoNormal">26:30 — Fan Question: Should Miami Call Chris Paul?</p> <p class="MsoNormal">30:00 — Knicks Championship Parade Recap</p> <p class="MsoNormal">31:00 — Robert Horry Ranks His Seven Championship Parades</p> <p class="MsoNormal">34:00 — Trae Young Stays in Washington: Breaking Down the Deal</p> <p class="MsoNormal">35:00 — What Can Trae + Anthony Davis Realistically Do in Washington?</p> <p class="MsoNormal">38:00 — The Road Back to LA for Anthony Davis?</p> <p class="MsoNormal">41:30 — Dusty Mays Leaves Michigan for Dallas Mavericks</p> <p class="MsoNormal">44:30 — Hawks Moves: Aaron Wiggins & CJ McCollum Extension</p> <p class="MsoNormal">50:30 — Big Shot of the Week: Simone Kelly</p> <p class="MsoNormal">52:00 — Shot Clock Game</p>
