Podcast appearances and mentions of Pat Riley

Hour 4 features Eric Reid breaking down Bam Adebayo's historic 83-point night, calling it one of the most remarkable moments in his 49-year broadcasting career. He discusses how Bam carried the Heat through a stretch of back-to-back losses followed by six straight wins, and notes the significance of him being a Heat draft pick, team captain, and product of the Miami Heat way. The guys praise Bam's character on and off the court and highlight the Heat organization's stability and class, from Mickey Arison and Pat Riley at the top down to the team's culture, comparing it to the consistency of the Pittsburgh Steelers. The conversation also touches on Miami Hurricanes basketball, who begin postseason play today against Louisville in the quarterfinals of the ACC tournament.

Tobin gets hyped when news of Malik Willis's introduction to the Dolphins; and Brittney begs the question of what the measuring stick of success is for Dolphins fans this season. And for Tobin he just wants to see Kevin Harlan back on the call for the Dolphins. Then it is time for our favorite Thursday game Goosies or No Goosies; Tim Hardaway's message to Bam, Mormon Wives are back, Finland is emotionally intelligent, and Pat Riley's reaction to Bam's historic performance!

On a Leroyless Thursday, Tobin and the crew kick things off talking weekend weather and Robbie the Degenerate's charity walk from Key West to LoanDepot Park for Opening Day. The show then shifts to football as the Miami Dolphins officially introduce Malik Willis and the gang debates expectations for the upcoming season, plus Tobin's comments about Tua landing in Atlanta. They also celebrate Bam Adebayo's historic 83-point performance with reactions from around the league, including Pat Riley and Tim Hardaway, before wrapping up with discussion about Dwyane Wade calling out the lack of buzz around the Miami Heat

The Ravens shake up the NFL by backing out of a trade for Maxx Crosby, instead signing star pass rusher Trey Hendrickson without giving up two first-round picks. Meanwhile, Bam Adebayo delivers a historic 83-point night as the Heat dominate the Wizards, a performance nobody could have predicted. We also take a look back at Pat Riley's incredible basketball journey, from playing alongside Wilt Chamberlain and winning the 1972 NBA Finals to building a Hall of Fame career as a coach and GM. Plus, we break down the sketchy details behind the Ravens' Maxx Crosby situation and what it means for their defense moving forward.

Bam Adebayo put on a historic performance last night, exploding for 83 points as the Miami Heat extended their winning streak to six games, a scoring feat that ranks second only to Wilt Chamberlain in NBA history. Joe breaks down Bam's offensive growth since entering the league, compares his night to other legendary single-game performances, and highlights just how unexpected this kind of scoring outburst was. The show also covers the Florida Panthers' dramatic comeback over the Detroit Red Wings, Italy's shocking upset of the USA in the World Baseball Classic, and the bizarre NFL news of the Baltimore Ravens backing out of a Maxx Crosby trade before signing Trey Hendrickson. Chris Perkins joins to weigh in on the Miami Dolphins' new era, praising the signing of Malik Willis and the team's draft strategy while reflecting on the disappointing Tua Tagovailoa era. Plus, the guys touch on Pat Riley's remarkable basketball journey and debate whether Wilt's legendary 100-point game really happened.

The March 8, 1976, issue of Sports Illustrated featured Buffalo Braves star Bob McAdoo on the cover, captured in a striking close-up portrait by photographer Neil Leifer, holding the ball at Buffalo Memorial Auditorium under the headline "Hottest Shot in the Game: Buffalo's Bob McAdoo." Just one year removed from winning the 1975 NBA MVP award—his second straight scoring title at 34.1 PPG in 1974-75—McAdoo was still dominating as one of the league's premier scorers and rebounders, leading the Braves in a strong season and representing the peak of his individual brilliance in Buffalo. However, his tenure with the Braves ended abruptly that December when contract disputes and the team's unwillingness to meet his salary demands prompted a trade to the New York Knicks for center John Gianelli and cash. Injuries, including a persistent back issue and later more severe setbacks, began to erode his consistency despite continued high scoring. McAdoo then became a journeyman: traded to the Boston Celtics in 1979 (one season), then to the Detroit Pistons (waived in 1981 due to injuries), a brief stint with the New Jersey Nets, before landing with the Los Angeles Lakers on Christmas Eve 1981 in a low-key trade for a second-round pick and cash to bolster depth after Mitch Kupchak's injury. In L.A., he reinvented himself as a potent sixth man on the Showtime-era teams alongside Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and James Worthy, contributing key scoring off the bench to help secure two NBA championships in 1982 and 1985 before concluding his NBA career. Named to the NBA's 75th anniversary team, the 6-10 McAdoo was a force in the NBA and one of it's most prolific scorers winning three scoring titles in succession and is the last player in the league to average 30 points and 15 rebounds per game in 1974. One of the most dominant players in NBA history was still at his peak in 1976, scoring 42 points for the Braves on December 7th of that year. But two days later he was traded to the Knicks and McAdoo tells us that's when he knew this game was actually a business. He remembers what a thrill it was to be on the cover of SI for the first and only time and he recalls how being named MVP is the ultimate prize… until you win an NBA Championship. He tells us how he came off the bench for the first time ever for Pat Riley's teams and while he didn't start most games, he certainly finished them. And he reminisces about meeting his childhood hero Earl “The Pearl” Monroe and what it his relationship was like with Kareem, Riley and Jerry West. One of the smoothest to ever do it in the NBA… Hall of Famer Bob McAdoo on the Past Our Prime podcast.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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.
