In this episode of the Big Shot Bob Podcast, Robert Horry and the crew dive into the unexpected firing of Denver Nuggets coach Mike Malone and speculate about its impact on the team and star player Nikola Jokic. They also touch on the NCAA finals, with some surprising insights into the Duke vs. Houston game, and discuss various seemingly unbreakable sports records. For fun, the guys tackle a hilarious game of 'Weird Movie Descriptions,' where they try to guess movies based on unconventional summaries. Plus, they share a heartwarming Big Shot of the Week story about an anonymous donor saving a baby's life. Join Rob, Harper, and Jenners for an engaging episode filled with sports analysis, laughs, and touching moments.   00:00 Introduction and Episode Kickoff 01:44 NBA News: Mike Malone's Firing 04:15 Coaching Dynamics and Team Performance 13:22 Playoff Standings and Predictions 23:47 NCAA Tournament Recap 31:37 Hall of Fame Inductees 32:17 Dwight Howard's Career and Legacy 33:09 Hall of Fame Lobbying Efforts 34:00 Alex Ovechkin Breaks Gretzky's Record 34:57 Unbreakable Sports Records 37:14 Debating Barry Bonds' Home Run Record 39:20 LeBron's Scoring Record and Other Unattainable Feats 43:02 Big Shot of the Week: Anonymous Donor Saves a Life 45:57 Hilarious Movie Descriptions Game

We start out the bonus show this week with a topic about floor generals, with a question centered on Chris Paul and other standout players like Rajon Rondo, Kyle Lowry, and Tony Parker. Despite Chris Paul frequently dominating such lists, Rob made a surprising nod to Rondo, highlighting his exceptional court vision and ability to facilitate plays, likening Rondo's significant impact during his Boston Celtics days as part of a "big four."   We then turn the focus to contemporary stars, sparked by Jeff Teague’s rankings on the Club 250 Podcast. His top picks included Nikola Jokic, Jason Tatum, Luka Dončić, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. This assembly fostered a debate, particularly about Luka's defense, with Rob pointing out the importance of two-way play—a relentless topic in basketball circles about offensive and defensive proficiency. Plus we get into others deserving mention, like Donovan Mitchell and the ageless LeBron James, who continues to impress with his performance at nearly 40 years old. Rob reserved particular praise for Mitchell, noting his all-around game and contributions to his team’s success.   We close it out with frequently quoted favorite films. Blending humor with nostalgia, the co-hosts shared lines from “Tommy Boy,” “Friday,” and “Talladega Nights,” underscoring how these movies remain entrenched in cultural memory. Such discussions illustrate how sports and popular culture often intertwine, offering listeners both laughter and a break from intense sports debates.   00:00 Introduction and Episode Overview 00:35 Debating the Best Floor Generals 03:08 Rondo vs. Ben Simmons: A Shooting Comparison 04:51 Jeff Teague's Top Four NBA Players 05:51 Discussing the Term 'Two-Way Player' 07:44 Top Four NBA Players: Personal Picks 12:05 The Tush Push Controversy in the NFL 14:09 The Controversial Tush Push Play 14:36 Defending Against Running Quarterbacks 15:27 LeBron and Brian Windhorst Relationship 16:24 Annoying TV Personalities 17:43 The Mindset of Athletes 20:32 Favorite Sports Reporters and Announcers 21:50 Most Quoted Movies 23:32 Friday Movie Quotes 25:26 Remembering John Witherspoon

This week, we start with Rob's trip to China, where he enjoyed both the picturesque ocean views and the local hospitality. Upon returning stateside, he enjoys the reality of the Atlanta Braves' current slump, which sets the stage for some comical deflection via the "horrible high-low game" later in the podcast. From there we spin off into the MLB debate of the week about “torpedo bats” and of course things take a strange turn during the debate.   Then it’s on to the free-for-all Pistons versus Timberwolves brawl and the bewildering firing of Memphis Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins. What’s the logic behind the Grizzlies' decision to fire a coach amid a successful season? We break down the possible reasons, oscillating between player-coach dynamics and organizational politics. Next, it’s on to college basketball, where the ever-vocal Kim Mulkey stirred the pot with her candid response to a student reporter’s question after LSU was eliminated in the Elite Eight for the second straight year. Mulkey asked the reporter, "How many final fours have you played in?" creating a divide between those who see it as a humorous quip and those who take offense. It's all about expectations and perception as our hosts unpack the nuances of Mulkey's response.   Wrapping up, the team goes through current NBA standings and playoff aspirations, pondering the fate of the Lakers and the remaining playoff hopefuls. Additionally, Harper raises a cheer for the Atlanta Hawks, hoping they’ll snag a play-in spot and bring some much-needed postseason excitement to ATL. It wouldn’t be a sports discussion without stats and records, right? The crew gamely tackled a "horrible high-low game" focusing on dismal sports records across history: Chris Dudley's free-throw foibles, the New York Mets' losing streak, or even the Prairie View A&M’s infamous 10-year losing streak.   00:00 Introduction and Host Banter 00:57 Robert's China Trip Recap 01:23 The Braves' Struggles and New Game 02:02 NBA Talk: Standings and Firing 02:20 Torpedo Bats Controversy 19:58 Pistons vs. Timberwolves Brawl 27:17 Kim Mulkey's Press Conference Reaction 31:27 Kim Mulkey's Personality and Media Perception 32:48 Expectations in NCAA Tournaments 34:32 Comparing LSU to Other Basketball Programs 40:08 The Importance of Failure and Learning 41:09 NBA Playoff Standings and Strategies 48:53 Big Shot of the Week: A Weight Loss Journey 50:58 Historically Bad Sports Records

Keith's Big Shot of the Night -- Pete Alonso. Mets fans haven't learned how to act at the adult table yet. Is Rafael Devers tanking? Keith runs through some headlines from around MLB. Keith regrets taking his son to Saturday's Yankee game. Hour 3.

Rob opens the discussion by recounting a moment many athletes hope for—the tribute video. A gesture of appreciation that often comes with a mix of emotions, as it did for Robert when the Lakers offered him one. It stems from Jimmy Butler’s return to Miami – and given his impact in taking the team to the Finals, albeit without clinching the championship, the consensus seems to be a resounding "yes," with a focus on patching historical ties and community affection.   We also touch on the loss of boxing legend George Foreman, remembered not only for his prowess in the ring but also for his entrepreneurial success with the George Foreman Grill. This reflective segment prompts a look at favorite boxers, with figures like Roy Jones Jr., Mike Tyson, and Sugar Ray Leonard receiving nods for their impact on both sports and pop culture. A lively debate emerges about the challenges of securing major titles, with a particular focus on the NCAA versus NBA titles. The discussion expands to compare different sports championships, emphasizing the rigorous path and elements faced in NFL playoffs and college football.   Closing with a humorous twist, the show turns to the peculiar injuries athletes sometimes endure off the court. From the infamous incidents like Amari Stoudemire's fire extinguisher mishap to Matt Strom's packing-induced injury, it's a reminder of the unexpected challenges athletes face even in the most mundane tasks. Shaquille O’Neal's playful knife injury story rounds out this section, shedding light on the lighter side of professional sports.   00:00 Introduction and Welcome 00:44 Tribute Videos in Sports 03:20 Remembering George Foreman 04:02 Favorite Boxers Discussion 05:37 NBA vs. NCAA Titles 07:54 Hardest Titles to Win in Sports 10:58 Coach's Misconduct Incident 14:23 Softest Injuries in Sports

We kick things off discussing Rob's recent world travels and his unexpected meet-up in Las Vegas with a fellow basketball star. Something that stood out was the engaging discussion on the concept of "two-way players" in the NBA, a term both Robert Horry and Alicia Clark seem to dislike. The focus then shifts towards the Cleveland Cavaliers and the mixed opinions on their playoff readiness. Patrick Beverly’s comments that "Offense sells tickets. Defense wins championships" sparked intense debate amongst the crew.   The conversation takes a swift turn towards the Los Angeles Lakers' recent performances, with insight from Uncle Shannon. The ongoing issues with their defense, their inconsistencies, and the importance of staying out of the play-in tournament are scrutinized. The Lakers' battle for consistency and effort is a poignant point of analysis. They seem to oscillate between putting up spirited defense displays and succumbing to laxity.   And with the Sweet 16 set in place, all eyes are on the teams that have made it this far. Seven SEC teams in the Sweet 16 underscore the prowess of the conference this year. Rob shares his predictions, staunchly supporting Florida and Tennessee’s tenacity and unique game styles. However, the room is divided when hot topics like Duke’s reputation in college basketball come up — is college basketball better with or without teams like Duke making strong runs? Chris Paul’s impressive endurance as the second oldest player (almost 40) in the NBA is recognized, despite a career without an NBA championship. And will we ever find out who the busty redhead behind Rick Pitino was? Danny Hurley’s outburst is also a funny point of conversation, especially after the UConn CID threatened to ruin the life of the reporter who posted it. And the show wouldn’t be complete without a round of "Walmart or Waffle House"!   00:00 Introduction and Welcome 00:36 Robert's Vegas Adventure 02:00 Debating the Term 'Two-Way Player' 03:34 Cleveland Cavaliers Analysis 07:50 Fear and Respect in the NBA 13:57 Lakers' Defensive Struggles 23:38 Chris Paul's Endurance and Legacy 27:29 Juju's Impact on the Team 29:42 Sweet 16 Set in Atlanta 31:00 College Basketball's Best Moments 33:55 Danny Hurley's Outburst 38:14 Rick Pitino's Viral Moment 41:46 Big Shot of the Week 43:40 Walmart or Waffle House Game

Kicking off the episode, Rob and the crew delve into the pressing question: "Is James Harden enough to get the Clippers to the Western Conference Finals?" Rob’s candid response shows skepticism, especially in light of key player Kawhi Leonard's uncertain status. This discussion highlights not just Robert's analytical prowess but also his penchant for direct conversations about team dynamics and playoff potential. And as we dive into March Madness, Rob dissects the intimidating reputation UConn holds among competitors, prompting discussions about current players like Juju Watkins at USC and the ongoing competitions that shape the basketball landscape.   The discussion takes an entertaining turn when Brian Scalabrini's recent showdown at New York's legendary West 4th Street Courts is brought into the spotlight. Known for his undying competitive spirit, Scalabrini, at 47, takes on a streetballer who claims New York supremacy and embarrasses the hell out of him. And as a newest member of the Grizzlies, Yuki Kawamura faces a unique challenge—language. Currently picking up English under the mentorship of Ja Morant, Kawamura amusingly and perhaps unfortunately, has learned only colorful phrases so far. This leads to a broader conversation on languages everyone wishes to learn, highlighting the entertaining linguistic misadventures and cultural exchanges that come with cross-border collaborations.   Capping off the episode is a nostalgic journey through sporting greatness. Robert and the guys reminisce about witnessing athletic legends live; from Serena Williams' grace on the tennis court to Michael Jordan dropping 50 points at a Bulls game. These reflections not only speak to the indescribable excitement that legendary performances invoke but also celebrate the remarkable careers that continue to inspire. The crew discusses players they wish they'd seen live—Dr. J, Gale Sayers, and more. These wishes illustrate a deep respect for the game’s evolution and history, emphasizing the impact sports heroes have beyond the court or field.   00:00 Introduction and Welcome 00:39 Fan Questions: James Harden and the Clippers 01:56 Discussion on UConn and Women's Basketball 05:49 Brian Scalabrini's Streetball Challenge 11:50 Yuki Kawamura and Learning English 13:18 The Easiest Class Ever 13:46 Struggles with Learning Dutch 14:41 Attempting to Learn Spanish 16:04 Interest in Sign Language 16:27 Funny Sign Language Story 18:09 Clemson's Locker Room Mishap 19:03 Elevator Incident at LSU 20:02 Bill Belichick's Yoga Adventure 24:28 Best Athletes Seen Live

The episode kick-starts with the notorious Robert Horry recounting his hectic travel schedule. From the Big Ten Tournament action in Indiana to Vegas and then off to China, Robert traded stories of jet lag and travel woes, shedding light on the busy lifestyle of a retired athlete turned commentator. As the clock turns to March, the team can't help but buzz about the NCAA tournaments. Robert's affinity for Texas Tech stands out, while the group discusses the current college basketball landscape, reliving the trials and triumphs of teams like Duke and Alabama. Brackets are on the agenda, with the hosts even contemplating show brackets to keep the spirit of competition alive.   A significant portion of the podcast is dedicated to dissecting NBA officiating controversies. The crew analyzes Detroit Pistons' coach JD Bickerstaff's fiery outburst over perceived bias in officiating. There's a heartfelt discussion on players like Shaa Gil, LeBron James, and the inequality of foul calls, highlighting the systemic issues in NBA referee culture. Plus we joke about Shaquille O'Neal's slip-up of attributing Chauncey Billups as the coach of the Pistons when it's actually JD Bickerstaff sparked laughter and light-hearted trolling from social media. The crew reflects on how quickly the NBA coaching carousel spins, connecting the dots between coaching situations around the league.   The podcast ventures into the NBA playoff race, with speculation around the fluctuating fortunes of the Lakers, who have dropped to the 5th seed amid LeBron's injury. Similarly, the resurgence of teams like the Timberwolves and Warriors sparks predictions about potential playoff outcomes. The inclusion of Jimmy Butler seems to have injected new energy into the Warriors, while the Timberwolves, led by the duo of Ant Man and Julius Randle, are clicking at the right moment. The Mavericks can't catch a break with a litany of injuries, including Kyrie Irving, and a fascinating discussion unfolds on how the team copes. Beyond injuries, the Mavs' decision-making comes into question, especially with their much-maligned AI hype video failing to resonate with fans.   This week’s "Big Shot of the Week" title goes to three-year-old Bridger Peabody for his heroic action saving his grandmother. His incredible bravery in retrieving a phone to call 911 after she suffered a serious fall left a mark, emphasizing that even the youngest among us can perform life-saving deeds. As customary, the show wraps with a light-hearted Rapid Fire segment. Robert Ory reigns victorious this week, leaving everyone in smiles and setting the tone for next week’s showdown.   00:00 Introduction and Welcome 00:32 Travel Adventures and March Madness 02:44 Discussing College Basketball Teams 06:50 NBA Officiating Rant 17:23 Shaq's Hilarious Mix-Up 25:10 LeBron's Impact on the Lakers 25:42 Western Conference Standings 27:22 Magic's Streak-Breaking Win 28:12 Warriors' New Energy with Jimmy Butler 31:20 Timberwolves' Resurgence 32:59 Mavericks' Injury Woes 37:48 Big Shot of the Week: Bridger Peabody 40:29 Rapid Fire Trivia

Kicking things off, let's tackle Stephen A. Smith's list of the best current NBA duos. Recognizing Tatum and Brown from Boston, LeBron and Luka, Jokic and Murray, Giannis and Dame, and surprisingly, Steph and Jimmy Butler. Do any duos get left out? Our debate focuses on whether Steph and Jimmy belong on this list or if LeBron and Luka's new partnership qualifies. Personally, I lean towards Jokic and Murray as they're a dynamic duo that complements each other well, akin to legendary pairs like Shaq and Kobe or MJ and Scottie.   Now, onto some lighter fare—TV shows. Missing out on cult favorites like Game of Thrones and shows like Paradise might get you dogged by friends, but hey, everyone has their preferences. And finally, the bizarre true crime story of Aaron Goodwin from Ghost Adventures. His wife allegedly hatched a plan to hire a hitman to kill him, only getting caught due to monitored messages from an inmate accomplice. This strange tale prompts a dark but intriguing question: if you received a call about someone plotting against you, who would you suspect? Would a family member, a friend, or perhaps a stranger be out to get you?   00:00 Introduction and Welcome 00:48 NBA Duos Debate 04:45 Can Dallas Redeem Itself? 08:26 Personal Life Update 11:59 TV Show Recommendations 18:34 Murder for Hire Plot

As the podcast unfolds, Rob opens up about his hectic travel schedule. From working major basketball tournaments to quick trips to China as an NBA ambassador, his March is nothing short of a whirlwind. It's the kind of excitement that keeps fans tuned in, eager for behind-the-scenes stories from a sports legend. The conversation shifts to none other than Steph Curry, who is on the verge of making history with his three-point prowess. Rob and his co-hosts discuss Curry's significant achievements and his unyielding passion for the game. There's a debate about the longevity of athletes like Curry and LeBron James, shedding light on what it takes to maintain top performance levels as age inevitably creeps in.   Next, the podcast turns its attention to the Los Angeles Lakers. With LeBron James facing a groin injury, the team finds itself in a precarious position. The panel underscores the importance of strategic play and the challenges the Lakers may encounter without their star player. A sports podcast wouldn't be complete without an MVP race discussion. The competition is heating up between Nikola Jokić and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (SGA), each delivering season-defining performances. The podcast explores how teams like the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Cleveland Cavaliers are making waves with their young, dynamic rosters, bolstered by shrewd acquisitions and strategic planning.   A heartwarming segment on the show recognizes Nicole Munda and Jess Coleman, a couple united by chance at a NASCAR race, leading to a life-saving organ donation story. It's a testament to the unpredictable beauty of life and sport, illustrating far-reaching impacts beyond the field or court. The hosts add a dash of fun with a game focused on quirky rebranding in the sports world. From the Erie Pepperoni Balls to the Jersey Diners, these rebrandings bring a fresh twist to sports team identities, fostering fan engagement and leaving Robert and his co-hosts both amused and intrigued.   00:00 Introduction and Welcome 00:32 Robert Ory's Busy March Schedule 02:18 March Madness and Upcoming Events 02:56 Steph Curry's Historic Achievements 12:17 LeBron James' Injury and Lakers' Challenges 20:35 MVP Race: Joker vs. Shay 28:44 Cleveland Cavaliers' Winning Streak 31:40 NFL Free Agency and Junior Bridgman Tribute 32:14 Honoring a Pioneer: Junior's Legacy 34:15 NFL Free Agency Frenzy 38:47 Superstitions and Rituals in Sports 45:56 Big Shot of the Week: A Heartwarming Tale 48:31 Rebranding Madness: Real or Fake?
