  • Big Shot Bob – Shoot Around Ep 133 – The D In Front of Raymond
    May 15 2026

    It's Friday, which means it's time for the bonus show. Episode 133 of Shoot Around kicks off with some genuinely surprising news — Alperen Sengun was voted the NBA's most overrated player by his own peers in The Athletic's annual poll. Seven-time champion Robert Horry weighs in on whether that reputation is fair, what Jeff Teague said about swag, and which players would actually top the overrated list if the guys had a vote.

    Then it's straight into the Kevin Hart Roast — specifically the clips of Draymond Green catching shots from Tom Brady, Shane Gillis, Jeff Ross, and The Rock. The guys break down the best lines of the night and give Draymond his flowers for actually holding his own on the mic.

    After that, a legendary clip courtesy of a listener: Vernon Maxwell on All The Smoke telling the full story of Hakeem Olajuwon slapping him in the locker room at halftime. Robert Horry was there for the Rockets at the time, so yeah — this one gets personal.

    And then things take a turn. A Frontier Airlines plane struck a pedestrian who'd somehow made it onto the runway at Denver International Airport — and the guys react to the cockpit audio. From there, the show ends on a high note: the story of Jessica Holloway, the Tampa mom who set up a folding table at a U8 girls soccer game and started selling homemade wine to the other parents out of an Igloo cooler. Her menu included "Referee Tears" at $15 a jar. She was arrested. The guys are outraged on her behalf.

  • Big Shot Bob – Ep 259 – Unemployment
    May 12 2026

    Seven-time NBA champion Robert Horry, B-Dog Brandon Harper, and Rob Jenners break down everything happening in the 2025 playoffs — and there's a LOT to get into on Episode 259.

    The Thunder are rolling. OKC swept the Lakers to go 8-0 in the playoffs so far, doing it without Jalen Williams and doing it in convincing fashion. Big Shot Bob gives his honest take on LA's future — including whether Austin Reaves deserves $250 million, what LeBron's exit interview really signals, and why the Lakers keep running into the same wall every spring.

    Then the guys get into Victor Wembanyama's elbow on Naz Reid — Rob makes the case he should've been suspended, and breaks down exactly why the NBA's handling of it sets a bad precedent. Should the league have at least hit him with a fine? Everyone agrees on that one. We also dig into what NOT suspending Wemby says about how the NBA protects its stars, and whether that chips away at what's fair for everyone else on the floor.

    In the East, the Knicks swept the Sixers out — 25 threes, a 30-point blowout, and Knicks fans completely taking over Philly's arena. The boys break down what that team is actually capable of, and size up whoever's coming out of the Pistons-Cavs series to face them. Spoiler: neither team looks ready.

    Plus: the Washington Wizards win the draft lottery, Draymond takes a shot at Charles Barkley on Inside the NBA (and the guys have some thoughts on that), Steve Kerr's Warriors extension, Jaylen Brown's $50K fine for calling out Joel Embiid on Twitch, and the Big Shout of the Week goes to a 73-year-old music teacher from England who remortgaged his house to save his neighborhood pub.

    We close it out with this week's game — All-Time Playoff Runs — testing Big Shot Bob on some of the best postseason win streaks in NBA history. Does he know the Warriors' 2017 run better than he thinks? Let's find out.

  • Big Shot Bob – Shoot Around Ep 132 – The Real Meaning of Cinco de Mayo
    May 8 2026

    It's a Friday, which means it's time for another Shoot Around — the show where we throw everything at the wall and see what sticks.

    Big Shot Bob himself, Robert Horry, is back in the building for Episode 132, and this one goes all over the place. We kick things off reacting to Skip Bayless returning to First Take for a one-time reunion with Stephen A. Smith. Nobody asked for it, everybody's gonna watch it — including us. But it raises a fair question: are you tuning in because you actually enjoy them, or just because it's been so long that nostalgia has you by the throat?

    From there we got into what TV reunions we'd actually want to see, which somehow turned into Rob getting volunteered — live, on the spot — to host a new version of NBA Inside Stuff with Ahmad Rashad's old job. He ran with it. Like, really ran with it. The man had co-host candidates locked and loaded (Cheryl Miller, Monica McNutt, and others get a mention), a vision for the show, and apparently more enthusiasm for a job he doesn't have than the one he does. Incredible.

    Then things got weird. A United Airlines plane clipped a bakery truck on the Jersey Turnpike on approach to Newark — and we had the audio. That set off a whole conversation about terrifying aviation moments, NBA team charter planes, which franchises had the nicest setups (Dallas and Portland apparently had the goods), and the time Rob was sitting next to Butter Bean on a late-night flight when the guy in front of them went completely still and his wife lost her mind thinking he was dead. Spoiler: sleep paralysis.

    A listener named Richie sent in a question after a wild JP Morgan story broke this week — a guy fabricated a sexual harassment case, it went everywhere before anyone fact-checked it, and the woman got dragged online for days before the truth came out. That opened the door for Rob to share a story he's apparently never told publicly: the time a woman he didn't even know filed a false harassment claim against him with the Lakers, complete with unsolicited fan mail that's... a lot. We won't spoil the details. But it ended with Rob's lawyer sorting it out after discovering the same woman had done it to three other people.

    We wrapped up with a question from Vic about the Mandalorian movie dropping near May the 4th, Star Wars fatigue, and whether Marvel is stuck in the same trap — giving away so much for free on streaming that nobody wants to pay for the theatrical version anymore. Then, naturally, it was Cinco de Mayo (Taco Tuesday edition), which meant Rob had to explain a very chaotic night in Austell, Georgia, a sombrero, a man in a full Transformer outfit, and getting home at 3 AM.

    Friday energy. All the way through.
