Big Shot Bob Pod with Robert Horry Podcast Playground

We open the bonus show this week with a question on the minds of many Cleveland basketball fans... if you could choose, do you want to keep Darius Garland or Donovan Mitchell? We also debate the theory that an NBA team might draft Bronny as bait to get LeBron, and ask Rob what that would do for his future in the league if it didn't work out. Plus, with Happy Gilmore 2 getting the green light at Netflix, we ask who Adam Sandler should fight now that Bob Barker has passed. And after the Diddy video came out, a listener wants to know who the coolest celebs we've met, and who were the biggest a-holes. Mike Malone was SALTY after the Nuggets got eliminated, we get Rob's walkout song if he could choose one, and we discuss Tyler Hansbrough's newfound love of pickleball, and in turn what sport besides basketball Rob could challenge someone to and win. We close with Jelly Roll, who admitted he only wears a pair of socks ONCE and throws them out, so we ask Rob what his most frivolous celebrity purchase was - Rob's Ferrari, and his blinged out Rolex!

Here we go! Rob and the guys go deep into the Timberwolves pulling out a huge Game 7 victory in Denver, with amazing audio from Anthony Edwards and Karl Anthony-Towns. Rob takes a look at all the things the Wolves did right, how impressive Ant Man is at such a young age, and how that compares to when he felt comfortable in the NBA. And after Dallas eliminated OKC, Rob and B-Dog both think they need to stay young and find some difference makers, as Rob hopes they are able to hold their core together this time and not let them get away like their original Big 3. We also go big on the Eastern Conference Finals, now that the Pacers did away with the Knicks. Rob believes that Boston is just built too well for this series, and breaks down what the Pacers can do to try and hold on against the most well-rested team in the Playoffs. Sam Cassell is in the mix for the Lakers head coaching position and Rob debates whether or not he’d take Sam up on an offer to join the Lakers coaching staff. Plus after the Scottie Scheffler arrest, Rob talks about times he’s had a run-in with the cops. And we break down the Harrison Butker kerfuffle, give out a dope Big Shot of the Week, and round it out with another classic round of Walmart or Waffle House.

Reggie Miller made headlines this week and opens up our bonus show, as we debate who he was taking shots at when he talked about a “Mount Rushmore guy” who points fingers. We also try to figure out why the Knicks fans still hate Reggie 30 years later and where that comes from. A listener asks Rob what has happened to Jrue Holiday (after his lack of scoring the postseason) and after Malik Monk got a Rolex from a teammate we ask Rob what was the best gift he got from a teammate. We also learn that Rob is a really good poker player, and Rob lays down exactly how the Lakers would operate if he were to take the reins. And after Dana White got a FedEx driver fired on accident we find out that Rob might have gotten a waiter fired, plus Pat Bev’s suspension has us talking about how much Rob’s shove of Steve Nash really cost him.

After Rob’s trip to Atlanta last week, we go over the stuff that happened while he was on the road – and how surprised some of us were that Jamal Murray didn’t get suspended for his heat-pad toss. It’s also wild to see the Timberwolves playing with way less effort and enthusiasm with Rudy Gobert in the line-up, proving to Rob and B-Dog that he should not have been Defensive Player of the Year. We also take a quick look at Shaq’s feud with Shannon Sharpe after it got super personal, and how we love the Big Fella but he needs to have thicker skin. The Knicks and Pacers series has been officiated very poorly according to Rob, and he knew it would happen because the Knicks are worn out and the league is doing them a favor. And as all good teams do, the Celtics held the Cavs off and it looks like curtains for Cleveland. Will JJ Redick be the next Lakers coach? Rob says would retire from Spectrum if he was, and compares it (though B-Dog feels unfairly) to Steve Nash’s time as the Nets head coach. Rob says he would definitely take the gig if it were offered to him, but only if he could pick his coaching staff, because he feels like that makes all the difference. Ultimately Ty Lue is the big winner, because he’ll get caught in a bidding war between the Lakers and Clippers. Plus the Hawks win the draft lottery in a year where there is no high profile talent on the board, because that’s Atlanta, we have some amazing audio of the week from Luka’s postgame press conference (where is sounds like someone was watching something dirty), offer up an inspiring Big Shot of the Week, and play another fun round of Shot Clock!

A really fun bonus show kicks off the weekend with the amazing Brady roast – which Tom Brady immediately regretted – Rob tells us the story about getting committed to judging a pregnant bikini contest. And after a member of the Padres AAA affiliate found out he was getting traded while standing on second base, we ask Rob where he was when he found out he got traded to the Suns for Charles Barkley. Plus did a new sandwich cutting style on the Internet change the game forever? Nope, because Rob is a crazy man who does not cut his sandwiches at all. We also talk about the unfortunate case of Lonzo Ball, who just picked up his huge option with the Bulls despite having not played for the last two years. We also nerd out by calling in our four favorite X-Men to save our butts in a fight, and dive into the WILD story about Vladimir Putin stealing Robert Kraft’s Super Bowl ring!

There is SO much to get into on this week’s show – and we start with the Timberwolves, as Minnesota shocks the world by taking the first two games in Denver… but not Robert Horry! Rob aw the flaws in the Denver bench during the Lakers series. And somehow the Timberwolves were better without Rudy Gobert, Trae Young saying Ant Man should have been an Atlanta Hawk, and whether Jamal Murray will get suspended for throwing the heat pad on the floor in Game 2. We throw some love to Josh Hart for his exceptional play as the Knicks take Game 1 against the Pacers, even though Rob is still rolling with the Pacers to win the series. And the Clippers burn Jenners again, as they dip out in the first round to the Mavericks and we deep dive into the money owed to that roster and whether Paul George stays in LA. We also get Rob’s take on Darvin Ham and the Lakers entire coaching staff being shown the door, and even though it’s LeBron’s 6th coach to be let go, Rob doesn’t think it’s a LeBron issue and sees him getting an extension in LA. And everyone has words for Pat Bev after the insane drama of throwing a ball into the stands, insulting a female ESPN reporter because she didn’t subscribe to her podcast, and what this means for his future beyond the NBA. Plus we debate whether the Suns will trade Devin Booker, give out an inspiring Big Shot of the Week to a Buffalo firefighter who saved a dog’s life, and play another classic round of Black Crime or White Crime.
