We open this week’s Shoot Around with the wild story out of Ohio: 49ers owner Jed York getting caught up in a prostitution sting over a $140 ad, and the guys break down why guys with that kind of money still make choices like that. That leads into a detour on Flock license-plate cameras popping up everywhere, capped off by a city hall speech from a guy in a full Darth Vader costume that has to be heard to be believed.

From there it's Target's Halloween costume controversy - the one that got pulled and forced a public apology - which turns into a rundown of the worst, most tone-deaf costumes the guys have personally witnessed. There's also a detour into kids' shows sneaking jokes in for the parents, courtesy of a very memorable Bluey-style clip about the letter N.

We close out with a start-bench-cut sent over from Clutch Points: SGA, Luka Doncic and Anthony Edwards. Nobody wants to do it, but somebody's gotta cut a superstar.

17:03 Wrap-Up & Where to Find the Show

It's Big Shot Bob's birthday, and the fellas are treating themselves to a full plate of NBA offseason news before diving into some early football talk. Robert Horry turns 56 and gets the royal treatment from Rob and Harp right out of the gate, then the crew steps around the Enes Kanter WNBA drama entirely (on purpose) and gets into real basketball: the Wemby-Jokic showdown at the FIBA World Cup, James Harden's new deal pushing him toward the $500 million club, and whether a ring even matters at this point in his career.

From there it's a run through NBA free agency - Klay Thompson heading to Miami and immediately getting into it with people on Instagram, DeMar DeRozan's veteran-minimum move to Denver, and the five-team trade that sent Peyton Watson to Cleveland and Dennis Schroder to yet another team. Rob and Harp also break down ESPN's early East and West power rankings and argue about where Houston, Denver and the Hawks really stand heading into the season.

Football gets its turn too. Deshaun Watson is Cleveland's Week 1 starter, but he's not exactly getting a warm welcome from Browns fans - the guys dig into why, and Robert shares what it's like handling a hostile crowd as a pro. There's also a wild new ruling letting former NFL players return to college football, a debate the guys can't fully agree on, plus a Big Shot of the Week that'll actually make you feel good about people. They close it out old school with a Shootaround battle covering birds, cities, banners and number one picks.

It's Friday, which means it's time for Shoot Around. The guys kick things off with NBA 2K27 dropping soon and try to guess the top 10 rated players in the game before it releases, and let's just say a couple of MVP-caliber names slip right past them.

From there they run through which teams landed the most nationally televised games this season (four teams are tied at the top) and which teams barely made the schedule at all, before diving into the Jayden Daniels and LSU jersey number situation and what it says about how seriously players protect their old college numbers.

There's a fun detour into jersey number stories from Rob's own career, the week's audio clip of the year courtesy of a very unfiltered local newscast, and a time capsule dig through a 1997 TNT clip covering the trade that sent Rob from Phoenix to LA.

They close things out with a fan question about NBA Jam duos, which sends the whole crew down a rabbit hole of arcade nostalgia, from Mortal Kombat to Cruisin' USA.

The crew's back together after a week off, and it takes about five minutes before anyone actually mentions basketball. Bob's fresh off a trip to San Antonio (river walk, wine, a very serious debate about mashed potatoes), and once the guys settle in, they get to the real news.

The big story is the Lakers sale, or more accurately, the Lakers sale that might not be happening. Jeanie Buss is reportedly refusing to hand over her remaining stake to Bob Iger's group, and the guys dig into why she's digging in, who could realistically help her buy out her siblings, and whether Vanessa Bryant factors into any of it.

From there it's a full lap around the league. There's an update on where the Clippers salary cap investigation stands, Russell Westbrook calling it a career after 18 seasons, and a debate over which stars from the 2000s draft classes have the most left in the tank. Horry also gets something off his chest about the 2026 Hall of Fame class, and he's not shy about who he thinks got left out.

The back half is schedule season. The guys break down the best revenge games on the 2026-27 slate, argue about whether Philly got handed a cupcake schedule, and run through the week's roster news, including Bradley Beal to the Clippers, jersey retirements for Kevin Garnett and Diana Taurasi, and Dennis Schroder quietly climbing the all-time journeyman list.

Then it's game time. Bob pulls the fresh Forbes franchise valuations and puts Rob and Harp through a full round of guessing which team is worth more, running across the NBA, NFL and MLB, with a few results that catch everybody off guard.

It's just the two of them this week — Harp's off in San Antonio, so Robert Horry and Rob Jenners are running the show solo, old-school style. No Shoot Around this Friday either, so they're packing everything into one episode.

They start with the good stuff: the NBA dropped a taste of the schedule, and the Christmas Day slate is loaded — Spurs-Knicks, Heat-Celtics, Sixers-Lakers (hello LeBron revenge tour), Thunder-Wolves, and Nuggets-Warriors closing it out. Bob and Rob debate whether Denver deserved the marquee spot over Dallas, and that turns into a bigger conversation about how much longer Jokic and Steph stick around their current teams — and why neither of them should ever, ever run for office.

From there it's opening week previews, a Pistons discussion that gets real about the Jalen Duren contract standoff, and Bob's old war stories about guys faking injuries to force a new deal.

Then the Kawhi Leonard stuff. Another secret endorsement deal surfaced this week — this time with Daktronics — and the guys walk through it, plus the resurfaced details from the Lakers' 2019 free agency pitch that the league is now investigating. They get into whether the Clippers star actually suits up this season and what it means if the NBA lets this slide.

Also on deck: Dillon Brooks cashing in with a $73 million extension from the Spurs, Wemby flying the whole Spurs roster to Paris for a mini training camp, and Robert's take on a young guy trying to "lead" without doing anything out of the ordinary.

VJ Edgecombe getting FaceTimed by LeBron leads Bob into one of his own stories from his playing days, and then Scottie Pippen's blunt comments about Zion Williamson's discipline get the full breakdown — including Bob's offer to personally get Zion in shape.

They pay respects to the late, great Don Nelson, run back Adam Vinatieri's surprisingly filthy Hall of Fame speech, and there's a QVC clip that has to be heard to be believed.

Big Shot of the Week goes to a Virginia man who donated a kidney to a stranger and wore his Santa hat into surgery to do it.

And to close it out — since it's just the two of them — they finally play 82 and 0 on the show for the first time, drafting all-time rosters and trying (and mostly failing) to go undefeated.

It's mailbag Friday on the Shoot Around, and the guys open things up with a tribute nobody asked for — Motown legend Martha Reeves', uh, memorable national anthem ahead of the Women's Pro Baseball League's inaugural weekend. Rob Horry and Rob Jenners can't decide if it's sweet or a bad omen, and Brandon Harper is just trying to be respectful about it.

From there it's straight into the questions. First up: ranking LeBron, KD, and Steph heading into next season, which turns into a real debate about workload, teammates, and who's actually going to be asked to do the most. Then things get weird with Harrison Bader, whose scooter reportedly found the back of a San Francisco Fire Department truck at 1:50 in the morning — Rob Horry breaks down why he's never dealt with a teammate like that on a championship roster.

The mailbag also digs into a college eligibility loophole letting a former Pitt running back explore a return to school after getting cut by the Bills, with NIL money very much part of the conversation. And to close it out, the crew finally weighs in on Spider-Man: Brand New Day, including the Tom Holland vs. Tobey Maguire vs. Andrew Garfield debate that never really goes away.

🏀 Catch the full conversation every Tuesday on the main Big Shot Bob Podcast feed, with Shoot Around dropping every Friday right here.

Robert Horry is broadcasting this week's show from Reykjavik, Iceland, where he's running a basketball camp — and naturally, that means a special edition of Where in the World Is Robert Horry before the guys even get to basketball talk. Big Shot Bob and Rob Jenners hold things down while B-Dawg keeps him honest on the Iceland details (yes, it really is closer to England than you'd think).

Once the travel talk wraps, the crew dives into a loaded NBA news week. The Dodgers' trade for Tarik Skubal has LA fans wondering if the Lakers can pull off something similar, but Rob Horry isn't buying a big splash — the roster's full and the pool to jump in is more kiddie-sized than Olympic. From there it's Klay Thompson trade buzz, with reports connecting him back to Los Angeles or Miami, and a real conversation about what he'd actually bring to a team defensively at this stage of his career.

The extension talk gets serious with Steph Curry, Anthony Davis, and Karl-Anthony Towns all eligible for new deals — and the guys dig into whether AD's injury history and KAT's apron situation in New York make those moves less likely than people think. That leads into the biggest storyline of the week: is it actually time for Golden State to consider life after Steph? Horry and Harper break down the Warriors' rough draft history since 2012, why Jonathan Kuminga still doesn't have a landing spot, and what a real Steph Curry trade market might even look like.

Plus: the Kawhi Leonard investigation drags into 2027, Victor Wembanyama gets his own signature Nike shoe, Chris Bosh reveals a scary health scare from earlier this year, Kelsey Plum gets traded to the Phoenix Mercury, and Kendrick Perkins' top-5-in-the-East list gets torched. All that, a big shout to a teenage lifeguard hero, and Robert Horry defending his Where in the World title from six thousand miles away.

45:25 Where in the World Is Robert Horry?

It's a lighter Friday edition of Shoot Around, just Horry and Rob Jenners running through the week's fan questions and whatever's been living in their group chat.

They start with Austin Reaves catching heat for putting himself in his own all-time starting five (next to Steph, Kobe, LeBron, and Shaq, for the record), then get into Arizona State's new bachelor's degree in "influencing" and whether that's actually a legitimate skill set or just a punchline. That turns into a fun tangent about what they'd each go back to school for if money and logic weren't an issue.

From there it's an equitable-grading-scale story that has both of them fired up, a debate about participation trophies, and a trip down memory lane on old-school discipline. Then the mood shifts: Rick Moranis got a five-minute standing ovation at Comic-Con after coming out of retirement for Spaceballs 2, and the guys get into why that moment hit different, along with the actual Spaceballs 2 synopsis and whether it can live up to the original.

They close it out plotting their own eventual Comic-Con trip, including costume ideas for a seven-foot-tall Robert Horry.
