Big Shot Bob - Ep 184 - Where's the Baby Oil?

Big Shot Bob Pod with Robert Horry

Rob is in Vegas for the Lakers and Warriors, doing an event with Rob Pelinka, and gets right into the rumors about the Lakers hunting for a center and wonders what teams even have an impactful center today. Rob also crossed paths with Draymond Green and talks about how well they got along, and Rob was surprised how short he was when they met. And while we’re on the Lakers, we try to figure out how JJ and Rob can sell Bronny to the fanbase if he continues to underperform in the preseason. Rob and B-Dog both try to convince Jenners that it isn’t about basketball, it’s about the story of playing with his dad, and that doesn’t sit right with people who care about wins and losses and not storylines. Kwame Brown also weights in on the Bronny situation and makes some very strong points from a basketball perspective. We also discuss JB Bickerstaff’s new “no hoodies and jewelry” approach to practice and we agree with it so much that it makes us feel like old men. Mike Malone also enters the conversation after calling his guys “soft” as they come into the preseason, which takes us down a road of figuring out if the Nuggets are “stuck” as some have suggested. Everyone also has some congratulations for the inductees into the Basketball Hall of Fame, and Rob thinks the Liberty are going to win the WNBA Finals amidst record ratings for that series. Rob also made an appearance at the NLDS for his close friend Jack Flaherty, who pitched lights out in Game 1 of the Championship Series. And audio of the week comes in from Cam Newton cracking on Shannon Sharpe on First Take, the over-the-top portrayal of Rob Gronkowski on the Aaron Hernandez FX show, and Jerry Jones threatening to have a radio host fired after he asked about the poor offseason decisions he’s made. The Governor of Florida Ron DeSantis gets a Big Shot of the Week for standing up for an abandoned dog who was tied to a post during the hurricane – and we close it out with a hilarious round of “Who He Coach For?”
