Big Shot Bob – Ep 258 – Scoop B and Networking at the Red Wedding
Big Shot Bob Pod with Robert HorryShow Notes
Seven-time NBA champion Robert Horry and co-hosts Rob Jenners and Brandon Harper welcome CBS Sports and media personality Scoop B Robinson to episode 258 of the Big Shot Bob Podcast. The three dig into the second round of the 2025 NBA Playoffs — round-by-round breakdowns, trade intel, LeBron at 41, Ant Edwards off the bench, and a game of Walmart or Waffle House to close it out.
Scoop B comes in hot with insider knowledge on the Giannis trade market — including which teams are serious, which ones are bluffing, and why Portland might be more in the conversation than anyone wants to admit. Rob gives his honest PSA to LeBron James. And Harp asks whether Robert Horry's Rockets would've still won those championships even if MJ never went to play baseball. (Spoiler: Rob has no doubts.)
Plus: the Knicks embarrass the Hawks and the Sixers in back-to-back series, Ant Edwards earns a whole new level of respect by coming off the bench and letting a teammate cook, and the guys break down why Minnesota might be the most dangerous team left standing in the playoffs.

More from Big Shot Bob Pod with Robert Horry
NBA SEASON IS BACK!!! And the crew is... mostly back. Harp phones in from the casino floor at Harrah's Cherokee Valley River in Murphy, North Carolina, Robert Horry is squeezing us in before a flight, and Rob Jenners is just glad real basketball tips off tonight.
Episode 280, and B-Dawg is somewhere out on the ocean on a Carnival cruise, so it's Robert Horry and Rob Jenners holding it down. Bob's calling in from Vegas, where he's working the Lakers preseason game for season ticket holders. That gets the guys talking about the new ownership, what it means to be a Lakers legend, and why Bob respects teams like the Rockets that keep bringing back the older guys who never saw the big money. (Also: Bob is never getting on a cruise ship. Jaws, the Titanic, the Poop Cruise and a 6'2" shower for a 6'9" man. Case closed.)
Friday Shoot Around. Harp is somewhere recovering from a week of NLDS parties, so it's Big Shot Bob and Rob. Rob opens by telling Bob he never has to apologize for springing Allie Clifton on him Tuesday, and then it's straight into the story everybody kept asking about: Gregg Popovich marrying Mary Beth Budenholzer. Bob knows her personally, and his take is simple. Love is love, Pop needs somebody right now, and if anyone deserves a roast it's Bud.
Harp is across the street working the Braves-Dodgers NLDS game, so it's Big Shot Bob and Rob this week. Rob had a surprise sitting in the waiting room, though. Allie Clifton jumps on in the middle of her walk to talk WNBA playoffs: the Dream and Angel Reese, Becky Hammon's "play like ass and only lose by 10" speech, and who actually got her MVP vote. Then she reminds Bob he never won Defensive Player of the Year, and the Ohio State vs. Alabama trash talk starts.
Episode 278 gets recorded with a playoff game going on about 500 feet away. The Braves and Phillies are playing the NL Wild Card at Truist Park, so B-Dawg spends the first part of the show downstairs dealing with the chaos before he finally makes it in. It's been a day, and you can see it on his face.
