  • Big Shot Bob - Shoot Around Ep 76 - Slide to the Left, Slide to the Right
    Dec 20 2024
    We open the bonus show this week talking about Duke star Cooper Flagg, and what Rob thinks he can become in the NBA as the chatter around his draft stock continues to bubble. Rob is big on Dylon Harper, Ron Harper's son at Rutgers, but he does believe that Flagg will still be a force in the NBA. Duane sends in a question about who we would go with in De'Aaron Fox vs Trae Young in a 1-on-1, and while we all like Trae's shot, everyone goes with Fox for a number of reasons. Audio of the week comes from Panthers rookie wide receiver Xavier Legette who admits he ate RACCOON for Thanksgiving, and we go around the globe and see what exotic delicacies Rob has tried and what he likes. And a listener wants to know if the Clippers can make the playoffs even if Kawhi Leonard is never healthy, and at what point he should stop hoping that Kawhi will look like his old self. Clem asks Rob who the worst shooter he ever played with was, coming off the Bulls and Hornets missing a combined 75 three-pointers in one game! Rob jokes that it would never happen in his day because players would stop passing you the ball. And we close it out with our annual Christmas traditions and how much they've changed as we've gotten older.

  • Big Shot Bob – Ep 193 – I’m Texting That to Dabo
    Dec 17 2024

    We are closing out our final week of the year with the NBA Cup Final, as the Bucks and Thunder match up in the battle of who-gets-paid. Everyone makes their picks and we take turns bouncing around the NBA trade radar. It runs the gamut from the annual Jimmy Butler trade rumors, to the Lakers adding pieces they might not need, and everyone scratches their heads at the state of the Washington Wizards.

    Plus it’s the first round of the College Football Playoffs this weekend, and everyone makes their picks on all the big games. Arguments arise about the legitimacy of a Mountain West Champion in Boise State, how no one has any faith in Notre Dame, and all the questions about James Franklin’s big game record. We wonder if Ohio State will actually show up in a big spot, and Rob picks against his buddy Dabo Swinney as they get ready to face Texas.

    Freddie Freeman’s baseball also set a record at auction this week, which leads us to ask what sports memorabilia would you want if you had a blank check – and responses ranges from Kobe game-worn gear, to Rob wanting Hank Aaron’s jersey from the day he broke the home run record. And after De’Vandre Campbell quit on the Niners, Rob admits that he’s done it in NBA games when he didn’t want to play “scrub minutes”. Plus, with the wave of NFL home invasions, Rob is reminded of a time in his day when the NBA started to warn players about a breakout of car jackings in the 90’s.

    We also give a Big Shot of the Week to Louisville head basketball coach Pat Kelsey, who had one of the best answers to a press question we’ve heard in a while. And we close out our final “big” show before Christmas with a hilarious Christmas-themed round of Rapid Fire!

  • Big Shot Bob - Shoot Around Ep 75 - The Paycheck Tracker
    Dec 13 2024
    The Shoot Around starts with Nikola Jokic who said this week that players should get paid LESS for losses to use as motivation. As a fan Jenners doesn't hate the idea, but Rob feels like it's disrespectful because guys take that money with the idea that you're always try to win. We also joke about how funny it would be to have a stat tracker that watches a player's paycheck go down as the game gets away from them. Kirk also asks if we're sleeping on the Grizzlies, and Rob reminds us that before his suspension and injury, he was in the MVP conversation and is the spark plug for the rest of the team. We also get Rob's thoughts about Shams reporting that the Warriors are on a hunt for another "star", and Rob says when he looks at the Warriors he thinks they need to add strength and size. Donny's question for the show is regarding the Knicks but Rob still isn't buying it. And we have to discuss the video that went viral this week comparing Jokic's moves to Magic's and how similar they look, and it sounds like Rob is FINALLY on the Jokic bandwagon. And which player would we take? And we close out the show with the story of Kirk Herbstreit's son Chase committing to Michigan, after his dad made his name at Ohio State. We ask Rob what school would burn him up if his son decided to commit to a rival.
