    Michael Jordan saved Nike, he saved the NBA, and now he might save NASCAR. Jordan and Tyler Reddick have opened the NASCAR season with three straight wins. Despite ESPN disregarding the accomplishment, Jordan is demanding attention. He is the last standing true iconic sports star. From Lance Armstrong to Tiger Woods, Sammy Sosa, and Mark McGwire, all too often sports icons tarnish themselves, failing to maintain credibility. Jason highlights the special and competitive aspects that differentiate Michael Jordan. Steve Kim, Jay Skapinac, and Dre Baldwin join the show to discuss. Also, does Luka Doncic have beef with J.J. Redick? Bucky Brooks takes the baton for the final lap, covering all things NFL Combine, featuring Jeremiyah Love, Sonny Styles, and a highly rated prospect who actually wants to play in Cleveland.

    The Los Angeles Lakers NEED To Push The Panic Button according to Gilbert Arenas as Gil & The Gil's Arena Crew react to the Lakers tricking off another double digit lead to the Orlando Magic last night and discuss their concern with the purple & gold's struggles against the league's top teams. They break down how JJ Redick & the team should handle their big 3 of Luka Doncic, LeBron James and Austin Reaves moving forward as the superstar trio has still not figured it out on the court and continue their conversation on LeBron James' future with the team as the King is set to hit free agency this summer. Next, they react to Jonathan Kuminga making his debut with the Atlanta Hawks as the former Golden State Warrior dropped a season high 27 points in his first game since escaping the Bay Area and debate if Kuminga will make his former team pay for giving up on him early. Finally, they address Kevin Durant's comments defending USA Basketball and the AAU system as the superstar committed to represent Team USA in the 2028 olympics and fend off the European takeover of basketball before giving their takes on the NBA's plans to stop tanking as it runs rampant through the league.

    Episode 249 of the Big Shot Bob Podcast opens with Brandon Harper and Rob Jenners welcoming seven-time NBA champion Robert Horry back after a week off, including Rob’s trip to Universal’s Epic Universe in Orlando where he spotted Giannis Antetokounmpo visiting with his family right after All-Star weekend. The crew talks about how stars handle public attention, why it’s tough to approach athletes when they’re with family, and the realities of getting recognized in places like airports and theme parks.   They break down the NBA’s new All-Star Game format, praising the shorter, high-intensity setup and crediting the players—especially Victor Wembanyama and Anthony Edwards—for setting a competitive tone. They also criticize the World team’s lack of energy, debate whether a 1-on-1 or 2-on-2 tournament could work, and agree the dunk contest was the worst in memory, brainstorming fixes like having personalities such as Shaq and Kenny “draft” and scout dunkers nationwide since superstars won’t risk losing.   The episode shifts to Pat Riley’s statue unveiling at Crypto.com Arena and Riley’s push for coaches (and benches) to bring back suits and ties, followed by a harsh look at the Lakers after getting blown out by the Celtics on Riley night and James Worthy’s postgame “no heart” comments. They discuss Boston’s defensive approach, the Lakers’ struggles versus top teams, and criticize the team’s effort and urgency—singling out Luka Doncic’s perceived laziness on defense—while previewing the next matchup and noting the looming impact of the 65-game awards eligibility rule on stars like Embiid and others. They also touch on Lindsay Vonn’s severe leg injuries, Michael Jordan’s NASCAR team winning the Daytona 500 and the viral celebration clip that sparked online speculation, Charles “Ko” seeking to play again via the Alabama Supreme Court, and a Barkley “New York Dicks” Inside the NBA moment.   Standings updates include the Thunder and Spurs separating in the West, Detroit leading the East, and a rough stretch for the Kings and Bulls. Big Shot of the Week goes to Team USA hockey for winning Olympic gold in overtime and honoring the late Johnny Gaudreau by bringing his young children onto the ice for the team photo. The show closes with a mascot-themed game inspired by the Olympics’ mascots, running through real vs. fake team mascots across sports, and ending on Robert Horry’s favorite mascot (Denver’s Rocky) and the story of Rocky surviving a parachuting accident.   00:00 Podcast Return 00:56 Universal Trip 01:28 Giannis Spotted 05:17 Fame And Privacy 09:38 All Star Format 13:39 Dunk Contest Rant 15:29 Fixing The Dunk Contest 20:19 Pat Riley Statue 23:16 Suits On Sidelines 28:29 Lakers Get Smoked 29:29 Celtics Win Ugly 30:36 Boston Defense Breakdown 32:17 Lakers Exposed vs Good Teams 33:37 Calling Out Lakers Laziness 36:19 Playoff Plan for Luka 37:57 Rivalry Pride and Pat Riley Night 38:30 65 Game Rule Chaos 40:08 Is It Still Tatum Team 42:08 Tatum Return and Achilles Caution 43:18 Olympics Injuries and Jordan Viral Clip 47:56 College Hoops and Barkley Audio 49:27 Standings Check and USA Hockey Tribute 54:40 Mascot Trivia Game 01:01:45 Rocky Mascot Wild Story

    0:00 ... Ross hello and welcome the crew ... episode #227 is dedicated to Jordan Walsh of the Celtics. 0:59 ... Bruce introduces his fellow "Brucie B" ... Bruce Bowen ... 1:49 ... Bruce tells the story of the "unretirement" of his #12 jersey that he wore with the Spurs. 3:17 ... How Bowen basically created the position we now know as the "Three and D" and what the role meant to him. 5:02 ... On his battles with Kobe Bryant and how he approached the matchup ... his description of how he used film to prepare is really interesting. And how Kobe was always in attack mode. 7:34 ... Bowen's legendary battle with LeBron James in the 2007 NBA Finals and how he forced LeBron into uncomfortable shots.  But Bruce also appreciates LeBron's skills. 9:00 ... Ross asks Bruce about current stars and how he would guard some of them.  Jaylen Brown is singled out by Bowen for his intelligence in many areas. 11:33 ... Phoenix Suns fan Ross still has nightmares from his Suns playing the Spurs back in the day.  Bruce explains how hard it was to beat those guys in the postseason and how the Suns never played defense under Mike D'Antoni. 14:25 ... Bruce played for Pat Riley in Miami early in his career and he shares some amazing insight on how he and Riles interacted during their time together.  He tells an incredible story about a tense contract discussion and how he said goodbye to Miami and bet on himself to succeed in San Antonio. 18:57 ... Bruce played for Miami in some intense playoff battles against the Knicks and Bruce explains the connection from two coaches named Van Gundy with Riles.  Bruce has memories of Knicks fans coming to Florida to root for the Knicks. 21:27 ... World B asks Bruce about Tim Duncan and why he is not in the "GOAT" conversation.  Bruce gives a great analysis of how Tim thinks and how he took the baton from David Robinson and won more championships.  Bruce gives a great blueprint on Duncan's road to becoming a leader.  Bruce shares a great story of how Gregg Popovich made it clear that if Tim felt he wanted to leave San Antonio, he should explore his options.  And Tim never left. 25:18 ... Bruce takes a deep dive into his relationship with Gregg Popovich and how people misconstrued Pop's relationship with players.  Pop always made it clear that his job was to coach guys and that the negative stuff always came from a good place. 29:18 ... As for the current Spurs team ... there's tremendous upside with Victor Wembanyama and young head coach Mitch Johnson.  Victor brings guys together and all the current players respect each other.  Bruce mentions Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper as young studs along with a mature group of veterans that have quickly developed great chemistry. 33:16 ... Wemby has a competitive edge that has surprised a lot of people because of the way he looks.  The way he presented himself at All Star Weekend demonstrated leadership. 36:08 ... Bruce explains how Mitch Johnson has echoed some of Pop's philosophy but in a more contemporary style.  Pop was so much of a legend that he seemed unapproachable to younger guys but Mitch is from their era and relates well. 39:09 ... Dylan Harper is a rookie who is learning quickly what it means to be a Spur.  Having a system that emphasizes the team over personal agendas helps young players develop more quickly.  Bruce feels the team success gives Harper a chance to make a bigger impact that hotter rookie names like Cooper Flagg and VJ Edgecombe. 42:07 ... Bruce from 48 Minutes predicted greatness for the Spurs long before they started playing like a championship contender.  But they're so far ahead of schedule that they look like they could win it all this year.  What could stop them?  The "other" Bruce breaks it all down. 44:57 ... When discussing the officials and all the heat they're getting, Bruce feels like the the replays have hurt the relationship between players, coaches, and refs.  Bruce has little patience for guys that can't put a bad call behind them and keep playing.   As always, he has a great story about official Danny Crawford, who was inducted into the basketball Hall of Fame. 48:59 ... The 65 game minimum for postseason awards has cost some players awards that they might have won.  Is 65 the right number of minimum games or should the number be lower ... maybe 62?  Bruce feels the awards should take a back seat to what is best for the team. 52:13 ... Word Association ... David Robinson: Man of Faith 53:21 ... Draymond Green ... Fiery and Comfortable with Self 56:11 ... Luka Doncic ... Talented to a Fault 57:42 ...Tony Parker ... Wisdom at a Young Age 59:14 ... Shai Gilgeous Alexander ... Aggressive Competitor 1:00:17 ...

    Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Friday. Munaf Manji and Dave Essler head into Friday's card riding momentum after a 2 0 best bet performance, highlighted by South Florida's decisive 21 point win over Memphis and Orlando's explosive turnaround against Sacramento in which the Magic outscored the Kings 113 to 66 over the final three quarters while drilling 27 three pointers. With confidence high, attention shifts to a pair of late NBA matchups beginning with the Clippers visiting the Lakers. Despite the Lakers laying seven and a half points with Luka Doncic set to return, both hosts expressed caution about paying a perceived Lakers premium. The teams rank among the slowest paced in the league, and prior meetings have produced mixed total results. The Clippers enter on the second night of a back to back after poor three point shooting in their previous outing, a factor Essler expects to correct. Manji echoed the sentiment, noting the minimal travel and supporting the Clippers plus the points while also leaning under the total of 225 and a half given pace and recent trends. The nightcap features Denver in Portland with the total climbing above 240. Essler backed the Trail Blazers, citing Denver's road struggles in February, heavy minutes in their prior game, and Portland's continued push for playoff positioning. Manji preferred a split approach, targeting Denver early while playing the full game over based on tempo and recent back to back trends. Player props remain central to both analysts' strategy. Essler's best bet targets Deni Avdija over 34 and a half points rebounds and assists, pointing to his recent production and the likelihood of elevated scoring in a high total environment. Manji counters with Jalen Johnson over 43 and a half PRA in Atlanta's matchup with Miami, emphasizing the fast pace shared by both teams and Johnson's consistent minutes and prior success against the Heat. The discussion also continued their MLB season win total preview. Both agreed on the White Sox over 66 and a half wins, noting last year's modest negative run differential, bullpen reinforcements, and realistic path to incremental improvement in a competitive but manageable division. The Miami Marlins generated debate. Essler favored the over 72 and a half, citing strong front line pitching and promising young talent, while Manji leaned under due to divisional strength and the possibility of midseason trades should the club stumble early. As the NBA resumes full stride and baseball season approaches, the duo remains focused on disciplined value, careful market observation, and selective aggression in both sides and props.
