Podcasts about Tanking

It's Friday, so you know what that means — Shoot Around is back. Robert Horry, Rob Jenner, and B-Dog run through everything that didn't make Tuesday's show, and this week that list is pretty loaded.   First up: the NBA's new 3-2-1 draft lottery. Quentin asked about it, and fair enough — they never got to it on the main show. Rob breaks down how it works (the lottery expands from 14 to 16 teams, and the three worst records in the league actually get their odds PULLED back), and Robert gives his honest reaction: he doesn't hate it, but he's not ready to fully buy in until he sees it play out. The Indiana Pacers situation this year is a perfect example of why this stuff gets complicated fast.   Then things get heavier. Brendon Sorsby — the Texas Tech quarterback who bet on his own games at Indiana — caught a two-game suspension and a $5 million deal. The guys go deep on what kind of message that sends across every roster in college football. Not just to stars, but to walk-ons and scholarship guys who know everything about their team and are getting nothing out of NIL. It's a messy situation and Robert and Rob don't hold back.   After that, a palate cleanser: Tom Brady launched a new coconut water brand, and the name is... Good Nut. B-Dog's face said it all. If you're listening and not watching, do yourself a favor and pull up the YouTube just for that reaction.   A listener question for Robert — what's the most unfortunate thing that ever happened to you in a game? The José Canseco ball-off-the-head moment from Joe Adell inspired this one. Robert's answer might surprise you. (Spoiler: his shorts have a starring role.)   And to close it out, the blanket fort world record. A Nevada high school student built a 14,000+ square foot fort in Las Vegas, which somehow leads to a full childhood memory throwback session. Sliding down hills on cardboard, building clubhouses in the woods, and getting evicted from your own blanket fort by your grandfather. All of it.   Topics covered this week: NBA 3-2-1 draft lottery breakdown — what changed and why Tanking debate: injuries, bad teams, and what actually counts as tanking Brendon Sorsby, $5M deals, and a two-game slap on the wrist Gambling in college sports — the double-edged sword nobody wants to admit Walk-ons, NIL gaps, and insider info as a ticking time bomb Tom Brady's coconut water brand, "Good Nut" B-Dog's priceless reaction and the best disapproving head shake on YouTube Robert Horry's most unfortunate moment on the court (and on TV) Blanket fort world record and childhood memory lane   Subscribe so you never miss a Shoot Around or a Tuesday episode of the Big Shot Bob Podcast.

Hour 2: In a league obsessed with tanking, the Knicks were built the right way. Get ready for a special and highly emotional night at MSG.

The Bulls are going to be bad. Very bad. But with the new 3-2-1 Draft Lottery rules, does that mean we can safely take the good players on this clunker of a team? And how will Tyrese Haliburton look coming back from a torn Achilles? Can we trust Ivica Zubac in a new uniform? The Old Man Squad has a PATREON now. It's $1 and doesn't get a single benefit.

Ken and Nick take calls and dig into the uncomfortable theory that trading Garrett is less about building a winner and more about punting to 2029 when the new stadium opens, and Ken wants no part of that logic. A caller named Jim makes the blunt case that Myles is essentially putting nice tires on a bad car, pointing to the infamous six sack loss to the Patriots as proof that even a historically dominant defensive performance cannot save this team. Ken's real fear comes into focus by the end, arguing that trading Garrett does not just cost you wins this season, it potentially costs you Todd Monken, Andrew Barry, and the entire organizational continuity that Cleveland fans have been desperate for since 1999. The question hanging over everything is simple: if it is a seven win team with Garrett, what exactly are you signing up for without him?

The NBA Board of Governors voted in favor of a rule for the lottery that would limit teams tanking. Now 16 teams will have the chance to get the number one pick.

The NBA Board of Governors voted in favor of a new draft lottery rule to limit tanking, expanding the chance for the number one pick to 16 teams. We look back at how coaches and players who were arrested for fixing prop bets are never discussed anymore. Jerry on the Spurs evening up their series 3-3 with OKC, featuring postgame reactions from Wembanyama and SGA. Plus, the Jets' Garrett Wilson shares his desire to bring Knicks-level excitement to Jets fans, and CJ Stroud's new haircut causes an online stir in Houston with people thinking he's depressed. Finally, a caller thinks Mike Brown hid his cards during the regular season, and another wonders if Boomer is putting any Knicks opponents' jerseys in the freezer.

Anthony gives his thoughts on the anti-tanking measures the NBA took and what they say about the things Adam Silver cares about. He also has an epiphany about the kind of league Silver is working toward.

The funny part in all of this is the league itself says it's still working through some stuff. This leads to some questions from Anthony on why this needed to be announced right away, and what doing so says about Adam Silver.

If you just want to be purely machiavellian, the NBA's anti-tanking measures help the Lakers -- who don't think they can tank anyway. So if no one can, well, all the better for the team that won't.

0:00 - What's worse? Knowing what you need to do to fix your roster, but not being able to do it because of cap/CBA contraints? Or having a great roster that fell short and not knowing what you're supposed to do with it? Could we possibly be talking about 2 teams in this town?13:22 - The NBA officially approved a "solution" that's going to "fix" the tanking "issue" that's plaguing the league! Here's the thing though. It's super convoluted, bloated, and no one really understands what's going on. And again...more importantly...it STILL DOESN'T FIX THE PROBLEM! How are we still doing this??35:09 - Oh, by the way...the MLB tentatively proposed a hard salary cap and a spending floor. Unsurprisingly, the MLBPA didn't like the proposal. Strap in, y'all. There will be no baseball played in 2027. We're 1000% headed for a lockout.Oh, by the way...SEC Commissioner said the Cupcake Scheduling Week is officially over. Sorry, Alabama. You don't get to host North Arkansas Tech Community College the week before the Iron Bowl anymore.

The hour opens with Chris Russell breaking down the NBA's sweeping new anti-tanking measures, explaining how recent league controversies, concerns about competitive integrity, and the changing landscape of team-building helped lead to major adjustments in the draft lottery system. Chris walks through the new lottery odds, expanded field, and penalties for the league's worst teams while discussing how the changes could reshape draft positioning and rebuilding strategies across the NBA. The conversation then shifts to Victor Wembanyama, including discussion surrounding his Game 6 pregame attire honoring a Muslim holiday and the broader reaction it generated, before transitioning into a debate about whether successful franchises can rebuild without intentionally losing games.

Chris Russell examines what he believes is wrong with today's NBA, arguing that a combination of tanking incentives, competitive imbalance, and integrity concerns, including the gambling investigation that rocked the league earlier this year, ultimately forced the hand of Commissioner Adam Silver and the league's Board of Governors. The discussion centers on the NBA's newly approved anti-tanking measures, which include adjustments to the draft lottery system designed to discourage teams from intentionally losing games in pursuit of better draft positioning. Russell breaks down the revised lottery odds, explains how the changes could affect where teams pick in the draft, and evaluates whether the new system will successfully encourage franchises to prioritize player development and competitiveness over prolonged rebuilding through losing.

Rob, Ed, and Jeremy discuss the NBA's new lottery rule.

The final hour opens with continued discussion around the importance of special teams in the NFL, as Chris Russell and his audience revisit historic examples of teams and players who used elite special teams play to gain an edge and win games. The conversation then shifts to the NBA after the league's Board of Governors approved sweeping new anti-tanking measures, including expanded draft lottery participation, flattened odds, and penalties for the league's worst teams. Chris reacts positively to the changes, arguing that organizations should focus more on development, culture, and smart roster building rather than intentionally losing for draft position. The hour closes with a broader discussion on how teams across sports can rebound from poor seasons, compete while rebuilding, and avoid falling into long-term losing cycles.

Name Your Distraction: "Troubleshooting" and the Neutral Labeling Practice   In this episode, Juan asks everyone to identify the word they use for how they distract themselves and suggests choosing a neutral term without shame or pride. He describes his own pattern as "troubleshooting," citing examples like repeatedly adjusting camera setup, tinkering with Apple Music sync issues, and getting sidetracked during Zoom calls, even when he intended to record podcasts. He contrasts this with "triage," focusing on the most pressing priority, and consider whether his behavior reflects "tanking" (sacrificing short-term goals) or "trepidation" (nervous avoidance). Juan notes oversharing in medical appointments as another way distractions can derail the main objective. The core call to action is to name and observe one's distraction habit—neutrally—so it can be noticed and let go in the moment.   00:00 Name Your Distraction 00:55 Troubleshooting as Avoidance 01:39 Triage and Oversharing 02:30 Tanking or Trepidation 03:38 Why Troubleshooting Feels Fun 04:27 Neutral Labeling Practice 05:21 Values Versus Planning 06:48 Call to Action Wrap Up
