Robert Horry (Big Shot Bob) is back for the Friday Shoot Around bonus episode, and he's got plenty to say about the NBA's end-of-season awards race! This week the MVP finalists are officially in — Nikola Jokic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and Victor Wembanyama — and Big Shot Bob doesn't hesitate with his pick. Plus, the crew debates whether Wembanyama could make history by winning both MVP and Defensive Player of the Year in the same season (something only Michael Jordan has done), breaks down the Six Man of the Year and Most Improved Player finalists, and questions whether the NBA's Clutch Player of the Year award even means anything. Then it's quiz time: can Robert Horry and Harper correctly name the top 15 best-selling NBA jerseys of the 2025–26 season? Cooper Flagg already cracking the top 10 as a rookie? Stephen Curry still at #1?! And to close things out, a fan question sparks one of the best debates of the season — Tracy McGrady, Penny Hardaway, or Grant Hill: who had the highest ceiling barring injury? Robert Horry actually played against all three and his live, on-the-spot answer might surprise you. Topics Covered: NBA MVP finalists: Jokic, SGA & Wembanyama Can Wemby win MVP + DPOY in the same year? Six Man of the Year finalists Most Improved Player debate Clutch Player of the Year — a real award or just a participation trophy?

In this episode of The Checkin with Dwyane Wade, Dwyane and Bob bond over fatherhood, from Kaavia surprising Dwyane with real flowers to Bob catching his 13-year-old up way past bedtime, which leads into a real conversation about discipline and the slow death of the dad fear factor. Dwyane opens up about the learning curve of calling NBA playoffs for Amazon, finding his rhythm, managing his voice, and not overshadowing current players with his own stories. Basketball talk covers Edwards, Mitchell, Wembanyama, playoff injuries, and Dwyane joking the Clutch Player of the Year award came about 20 years too late. The guys also compare an Usher and Chris Brown show to a hypothetical Michael Jackson and Prince concert, talk about seeing Jay-Z at Yankee Stadium, and go deep on the lost art of burning mix CDs. New segment alert, “But Why?” Dwyane vents about a delivery driver ringing his gate at 5:50 AM and Bob goes off on drivers who honk the second a light turns green. Dwyane also shares a 12-hour commercial travel nightmare and says he wishes he had invested in a private jet way earlier. Music Credit: Khari Mateen.

In a game that didn't matter all that much, the Celtics pulled off one of their most impressive wins of the season, beating the Magic, 113-108, without their starting lineup and three other rotation players.

Etwas mehr als die Hälfte der Saison ist vorbei, das All Star Break bringt etwas Ruhe in die Association, ein guter Zeitpunkt, um darüber zu reden, wer aktuell die besten Chancen hat, am Ende der Saison mit etwas individueller Hardware in den Urlaub zu gehen. Wer ist der beste Clutch-Player? Wer der beste Verteidiger? Wer hat sich am meisten verbessert? Wie würden wir momentan die All-NBA-Teams besetzen? Diese und mehr Fragen werden Leo und Chris gemeinsam beantworten. Viel Spaß!https://linktr.ee/airballpodcast?fbclid=PAAaY_uTZX2oLNnqxMI2tGsVZ4kWKgvX-pptvZCa9tVrqE2_FCH67dshC_J5MMusik von Ju von Dölzschen, checkt ihr hier:https://instagram.com/ju.von.doelzschen?utm_medium=copy_link
Scottie Scheffler is one-for-one in 2026! Andy and Brendan return to recap yet another victory by the best player in the world, his 20th on the PGA Tour and first at The American Express in Palm Springs. Andy immediately wonders if Brendan and PJ regret "fading Scottie" by taking the under on 6.5 wins this year. Neither of them relent, but they do admit that the over is off to a hot start. Andy and Brendan highlight Scheffler's ability to win both birdie-fests and hard-fought events, as well as his ability to never hurt himself, putting pressure on those playing in the same group as him on Sunday. One such example was Blades Brown, the 18-year-old phenom who entered Sunday tied with Scottie in second place. He had one of the few over-par rounds on Sunday playing alongside the World No. 1, pushing the Korn Ferry Tour member out of the top ten with a t18 finish. In Dubai, Patrick Reed won again on the DP World Tour during some rainy coffee golf. Afterwards, he revealed that he's not currently signed with LIV for 2026 and is contemplating playing a DPWT schedule to try to earn a PGA Tour card for 2027. Andy and Brendan wonder whether he'll actually do this and give Reed some props for being a golf sicko and world player. Stew Cink continued his reign over the Champions Tour, winning the season opener in Hawaii. Adam Schupak wrote up an article detailing the struggles of Zinger, Papa, and Peter Jacobsen calling Champs Tour action from PGA Tour Studios, sending Andy and Brendan over the edge with how serious they were. Peter Jacobsen just wants to see if Tommy Two Gloves is using the same gloves every week, and he can't do that from inside the moat! To end the show, Brendan runs through the LIV Awards results, including Jon Rahm winning Clutch Player of the Year, as predicted by Andy on Thursday afternoon. Andy then slightly amends his northeast snow take from last week after hearing from many listeners. For those wondering, yes, there are plenty of Football Minutes within this episode as well!

On this episode of The Drive & Dish NBA Podcast, hosted by Kevin Rafuse (@rafusetolose) and Justin Cousart (@JustinContheAir), Kevin welcomes Osceola Magic Play-by-Play commentator Nick Gryniewicz (@GetNickG) back to the show.

Peyton Pritchard wins Sixth Man of the Year, Evan Mobley wins Defensive Player of the Year and Jalen Brunson wins Clutch Player of the Year. Then, a trip out West to look at the first-round series. The Thunder are crusing up 3-0, while the Jimmy Butler injury looms large in Warriors/Rockets. Is it over for the Nuggets and are the Clippers dark horse contenders? What type of adjustments can the Lakers make or do the Timberwolves have too much size? Out East, the Cavs are handling business, while physicality has defined Celtics/Magic and Knicks/Pistons. The Bucks saved face in game 3 but was that a flash in the pan or are the Pacers in trouble? Listen to the show wherever you get your podcasts and watch the show on YouTube!
