We open the show this week with Rob’s stories about Bobbleheads that do NOT look like him, after his wife confused his bobblehead for Tony Parker, and how he often gets mistaken for Alonzo Mourning and Horace Grant when out in public at times. It takes us down a wild road about NBA bobbles and statues that don’t look anything like the guys they are modeled after, specifically the tribute to Shaq’s LA statue.   Rob gets into the D-Lo situation with the Lakers, and why JJ decided to bench...

The bonus show opens with some great questions from Big Shot listeners, including Dean who wants to know who our Play-In teams will be based on the picks we made last week. Rob rolls with the Bucks and Sixers in the East, and the Nuggets and the Kings in the West… Jenners has the Sixers and Heat in the East, and Dallas and the Suns in the West… and B-Dog goes with the Lakers and Dallas in the West, and the Hawks and the Nets in the East.   Plus Michael Porter Jr said this week that if the...

Rob joins us live from Napa Valley as he’s travelling again this week, but jumps right into the outstanding play of Anthony Davis so far this season and where he thinks the Lakers need to tighten up. For Rob that’s mostly due a young coach in JJ having no faith in his bench, but he needs to get a hold of that for the Lakers to make a deep run. We’re also surprised at how good the Cavs have been out of the gate, but Rob warns Donovan Mitchell to remember to let his teammates help and not put...

After an Iowa Track & Field star clocked a 4.12 40 during halftime of the Hawkeyes game, it leads us to open the show with Robert Horry’s second homework assignment of the week. He wanted to know what athletes could excel in other sports – and Jenners asks about NBA players specifically who we think could play in the NFL. Names like LeBron and Ant of course pop up, but Rob goes with the obvious picks of Charlie Ward and Jalen Suggs, who both played college football.   As the season...

Rob is live from Houston as the Rockets celebrate the 30th anniversary of their 1994-95 NBA Championship, which breaks into a conversation about what teams are beholden to their last championship and need to find a way past it. And of course we open with the wild conversation about the Dwyane Wade statue – as we all think it was really bad, but it appears that Wade had a hand in approving it before it was unveiled. We love that D-Wade got his statue, and Rob jokes that he ever were to get one...

We open the bonus show this week with ESPN’s ranking of the Top 25 players in the NBA as we tip off the season… and Rob is already knee-deep in controversy for not putting Luca Doncic in his Top 10 this week. Plus we see if Rob and B-Dog can guess the Top 10 without seeing the list, and they struggle with one superstar who could be in the MVP conversation this year. We also ask Rob… could the Rockets will be good this year? Rob really likes their young core, but somehow uses this topic as a...

The NBA season tips off TONIGHT! And Rob is back to work at Spectrum – not for the home opener – but he will be in the building for the Timberwolves and Lakers as they tip off the season. We take a look around the league at the get-in prices for the NBA home openers, and the Celtics and Knicks at the Garden leads the way with the most expensive ticket which makes sense to Rob who is now more optimistic about the Knicks. And everyone struggles to guess the lowest ticket to get in the door,...

Listeners want to know if Zach LaVine is back for the Bulls after a monster preseason performance, but Rob doesn’t have any for Zach because it all depends on his health. Plus a question comes to the show on whether the Bulls should retire Derrick Rose’s number, and what it takes to reach that achievement, because none of us think he’s done enough to have his number retired. We also joke about how Lethal Shooter finally got an amazing picture with Michael Jordan that was out of focus and how...

Rob is in Vegas for the Lakers and Warriors, doing an event with Rob Pelinka, and gets right into the rumors about the Lakers hunting for a center and wonders what teams even have an impactful center today. Rob also crossed paths with Draymond Green and talks about how well they got along, and Rob was surprised how short he was when they met. And while we’re on the Lakers, we try to figure out how JJ and Rob can sell Bronny to the fanbase if he continues to underperform in the preseason. Rob...

We open this week’s bonus show with one of the wilder basketball card stories we’ve ever heard! In the wake of the Menendez brothers show on Netflix, it has surfaced that both brothers were photographed in the background of a Mark Jackson 1990-91 NBA Hoops card and people are asking them to sign it. It stems into a conversation about the strangest things Rob was asked to sign, and people even wanted him to sign baseballs which makes NO sense. Rob also gets his first look at the wild fight...

With B-Dog running late as we start the big show, Rob jokes about how a Raisin truck wrecked and took him out one week on his way home, which seems like the most implausible excuse ever. Oh and basketball is BACK and Rob is already working back in the studio, and we get right into whether Bronny is ready for the show or not. We all seem to agree that he isn’t ready, Rob thinks he still gets the pass to play early in the season, and is hopeful that this push to get him to play with LeBron...

The bonus show kicks off this week with discussion of Joel Embiid, who reportedly lost 25-30 pounds over the summer. Listeners want to know if Rob likes his big men lean or muscular, and Rob feels like Embiid was heavy and needed to lose it. We also saw the official retirement of Derrick Rose this week, which spawns a conversation about guys we thought were going to be the next big thing and just never got there – and SO many great names come up. And with the passing of Pete Rose, as Jenners...

We are back from a week off which we forgot to tell the audience about! Blame that one on Jenners who took his kid to Universal Studios, and we learned that Rob is terrified of roller coasters. Rob also updates us on his family in the Carolinas after dealing with all the flooding from Hurricane Helene, and thankfully they are all okay. Plus Rob landed himself in the news this week by saying he deserves to be in the Hall of Fame, which leads us into a conversation about Pete Rose and whether...

The bonus show is here, opening with a question about Dwyane Wade’s coming statue in Miami – as we ask Rob what player deserves a statue that doesn’t have one, and if he were ever to get a statue what it would look like. We also break down Kevin Durant’s “perfect starting lineup” and Rob disagrees with MOST of it. Plus Shaq said this week that Caitlin Clark needs to “wait her turn” and Rob immediately throws it back at Shaq who didn’t wait HIS turn, but also says there is nothing wrong with a...

Rob opens the show this week live from Manila in the Philippines, as he is traveling for another NBA event and repping American hoops overseas. And Harper comes in on a high after the Falcons beat the Eagles in Philadelphia on Monday night! We also jump into Steve Kerr’s comments about how much Boston fans are going to come for him this season after the Jayson Tatum drama at the Olympics, and Rob feels like opposing players will feed off that energy more than the home team so they can shut...

Rob opens the show with a Happy Birthday to his wife Candace, even though they didn't go dancing this year, which was an annual birthday tradition. And we dive right into listener questions about Rudy Gobert training with MMA fighters, and the wild idea that he continues to get Defensive Player of the Year Awards even though he's a defensive liability when it matters most. We also ask Rob if the Bulls and Zach LeVine can repair their relationship after the active work the team did to trade...

Rob had a rough experience at a rental place with some dated furniture and no A/C, which got us all thinking about the things that remind us of our childhoods… everything from cars with no seatbelts to plastic on the furniture! And we immediately dive into one of the biggest stories of the week after Tyreek Hill got detained before the Dolphins game, including the crazy audio from the police body cam. Rob feels like both sides were at fault and how he advises his family to always comply with...

It’s a loaded bonus show this week, as we dive right into Kevin Garnett’s statement that the Phoenix Suns can win more than 47 games this year and Booker and Beal could be MVPs. Rob does not agree, but Harp and Jenners both think they can pull 50 wins. Listener questions this week come to B-Dog, about how much longer he thinks Trae Young will last in Atlanta, as the reality of the trade market just doesn’t exist for his contract. We also rank the all-time careers of James Harden, Russell...

It’s a weird start to the show this week as everyone seems to be having some sort of insurance issue – which goes to prove that anyone from radio guys to former NBA stars, all have to deal with the same tiny issues in life. Of course we need to know if Rob thinks the Clippers stabbed Paul George in the back, as his father claimed this week… and Rob says NO it’s always just business, but the Clippers definitely screwed up this situation! And with our friends from Draft Kings coming back to the...

We open the bonus show by gauging Rob’s excitement and trepidation as the Crimson Tide kick off their first college football season without Nick Saban in a long time, and Rob is remaining optimistic about their playoff chances. And as the NBA asks to have the Warner Brothers Discovery lawsuit to be thrown out, B-Dog feels like this is a long play for younger viewers because so few people have traditional cable packages anymore. We also get Chet Holmgren’s “welcome to the NBA moment” and Rob...

We are BACK from our break – after taking a week off for Rob’s 54th birthday (where he restaurant hopped and drank too much), and Rob’s NBA trip to China for youth basketball camps. We get all the recaps of Rob’s escapades, before we dive into the insane rumor of the week, that the Lakers are already angling for a way to get Luka Doncic after LeBron hangs it up. And Rob and B-Dog both agree that this will never happen. Plus we get into the drama surrounding Anthony Edwards after he said...

We open the bonus show this week with audio of Stephen Adams - who appeared on a podcast this week and admitted he claimed to not speak English to avoid Kevin Garnett's trash talk. Rob talks about getting into it with KG on the floor but it was actually Charles Barkley who talked the most trash to him. Plus with Nike releasing Michael Jordan's eye-popping earnings from 2023, we ask Rob about missed investment opportunities, and Rob admits he had the chance to get in on the ground floor for...

We open a huge show this week with Rob having missed all the closing ceremonies, the idea of renting his house out for the Olympics in LA, and how he was taunting us from the front row of a Dodgers game last week. And of course we get into a huge breakdown of Team uSA, who won the gold but not without a lot of drama. Rob sounds off on the leaded audio of LeBron calling out Steve Kerr in the locker room, and agrees that on both the men’s team and women’s team there was a lot of bias from...

We open the bonus show with some of the hilarious Connor Stallions texts to Michigan staffers, just for a laugh, and getting B-Dog to read them with sexy music is all the better! Plus we dive into Snoop Dogg’s format attire at the Olympics, and how Rob owns a LOT of tuxedos and suits, while Jenners doesn’t even own one. And after a French pole vaulter knocked off the crossbar with his junk, we ask Rob about his most embarrassing moments on the court. We also get into the news that Charles...
