Show Notes
After 53 years, the New York Knicks are NBA champions. Robert Horry, Rob Jenner, and B-Dog Brandon Harper are back to break down one of the wildest finals in recent memory — a series where San Antonio led for 72% of the total minutes and somehow lost in five.
Robert talks about what needs to change for Wemby — specifically, the weight room — and what Dillon Harper's role should actually look like moving forward. Is De'Aaron Fox on the hot seat? He's got four years and over $200 million coming, so the Spurs better hope he's got short-term memory. And was this the Knicks winning, or the Spurs just losing it? The guys go back and forth on that one, and honest answer is... both.
From Jalen Brunson's place in Knicks history (Perk said greatest ever — the guys aren't buying it), to Karl-Anthony Towns FaceTiming Anthony Edwards after winning a ring, to the Knicks parade turning into a disaster with school buses on fire and 63 arrests — there's a lot to unpack from championship week in New York.
Also on the show: Draymond Green says European players are dirty, and Robert Horry has some thoughts on that. James Harden got pulled over at 4 AM with a handgun in his cup holder. The Bulls hired Tiago Splitter and Robert is thrilled it's not another guard. Big Shot of the Week goes to Amy Pye, a former Navy reservist from British Columbia who answered her door at 3 AM and saved a man's life. And the crew plays a special Championship Celebration Edition of Black Crime or White Crime — featuring naked Alabama fans, horse riders at Churchill Downs, and a guy swinging a metal flagpole at electrical wires.

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.
