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? Top 15 best-selling NBA jerseys of 2025–26 Load management & the David Stern era Tracy McGrady vs. Penny Hardaway vs. Grant Hill — who had the highest ceiling?   Subscribe so you never miss a Shoot Around drop!

Topps is bringing serious heat with Bowman Basketball, Cosmic Basketball and the return of Topps Football, but Mike Gioseffi has a big problem with how it's all being rolled out. He opens the show with a rant on Topps flooding the market all at once after long gaps with almost no major releases, and explains why the timing is brutal for collectors trying to plan around multiple expensive product drops. At the same time, he gives Topps credit for what looks like a loaded stretch of releases, from Cosmic's massive chase potential to Bowman Basketball's return and the inserts that could help Topps Football be a major success. Then the episode shifts into a fun deep dive on underrated 90s inserts with Lane Dukart, including Penny Hardaway, Platinum Medallions, Flair Row 0 and other nostalgic cards that still feel under-appreciated in today's market. Later, Gordy Bonker joins to break down what's happening in vintage, why top-tier names like Mantle, Ruth and Jordan keep rising, and why he's making the move from TikTok to eBay Live for his live selling show.
