The bonus show opens with some great questions from Big Shot listeners, including Dean who wants to know who our Play-In teams will be based on the picks we made last week. Rob rolls with the Bucks and Sixers in the East, and the Nuggets and the Kings in the West… Jenners has the Sixers and Heat in the East, and Dallas and the Suns in the West… and B-Dog goes with the Lakers and Dallas in the West, and the Hawks and the Nets in the East.
Plus Michael Porter Jr said this week that if the Nuggets don’t win this year that they might have to break up that team, and a look at everyone’s contracts proves that otherwise. But Rob feels like they need to focus on getting the bench pieces back that they lost in order to turn it around. And after impressive starts, listeners what to know who Rob thinks will have a bigger impact on their team this season, Buddy Hield or Sabonis? And Rob is rolling with Buddy because he’s basically become the new splash brother. Rob also agrees with Baron Davis’s assessment that a Doc Rivers team is a “beatable team” and says they may need to blow up the Bucks entirely.
There was also a weird streak that came to light this week, where the Houston Rockets haven’t beat the Golden State Warriors since February of 2020! That led us to ask Rob about teams he could not find a way to beat, and he says his Houston team couldn’t beat the Sonics because of their iconic lineup. And finally we all tech the higher or lower bet that Draymond laid out, saying he’d get less than 10 techs this season.

Rob joins us live from Napa Valley as he’s travelling again this week, but jumps right into the outstanding play of Anthony Davis so far this season and where he thinks the Lakers need to tighten up. For Rob that’s mostly due a young coach in JJ having no faith in his bench, but he needs to get a hold of that for the Lakers to make a deep run. We’re also surprised at how good the Cavs have been out of the gate, but Rob warns Donovan Mitchell to remember to let his teammates help and not put it all on his shoulders. Plus Jayson Tatum talks about being passed over by the Lakers in the 2017 Draft, and Rob says he understands why that happened because they needed a guard. His surprise came more from them passing on DeAaron Fox and taking Lonzo Ball.
There are also some sinking ships that need to be discussed early on – and we start with the 1-6 Milwaukee Bucks, who have not looked cohesive to start this season, even though Giannis and Dame have both played well. And with losses like this come the rumors that Giannis is going to ask for a trade out of Milwaukee, so we play some “what if” scenarios with teams like the Brooklyn Nets and the Chicago Bulls. That also leads us into the Philadelphia 76ers who are also only carrying one win into the third week of the season, and everyone on the show feels like the Sixers live and die with Embiid, and with him sitting out it will get worse before it gets better.
We also have beefs to get into this week! We start with Kevin Durant vs Stephen A Smith, which is hard for us to understand due to Stephen A’s platform and reach – and Rob feels like KD is way too sensitive for a guy who wants to be the star of his team. The other beef of the week went down between DeMar DeRozan, who was happy to honor Vince Carter during his number retirement, and Drake who of course got himself into the middle of something again. And Jenners brings up the Miami Heat who hoisted a banner in honor of Bam Adebayo becoming a US Gold Medalist, and that sets everyone off on legacy recognition.
We wrap it up with the funniest poster of the week, which went down in the Baylor-Gonzaga game – Rob shares that the kid that got dunked into the Earth was the coach’s son, which makes it that much funnier! Plus a really amazing Big Shot of the Week to a family in North Carolina who is sacrificing their business to help their community – and a truly hilarious round of Rapid Fire to close out the show!

After an Iowa Track & Field star clocked a 4.12 40 during halftime of the Hawkeyes game, it leads us to open the show with Robert Horry’s second homework assignment of the week. He wanted to know what athletes could excel in other sports – and Jenners asks about NBA players specifically who we think could play in the NFL. Names like LeBron and Ant of course pop up, but Rob goes with the obvious picks of Charlie Ward and Jalen Suggs, who both played college football.
As the season unfolds, Rob also wants to know what Wemby can do to put on weight before we get too far in, especially after that video surfaced this week of Stephen Adams backing him down in the post and there was nothing Wemby could do to stop him. Plus after Anthony Richardson checked himself out of the Colts game, it reminds Rob of the time he pulled himself out of a game, but not because he was tired but because he was mad at Latrell Sprewell. Listeners also want to know what Rob thought about Chris Paul taking a swing at Dillon Brooks in the scrum this week, and Rob says that if you wanted to fight a guy in his day you just did it, or met at center court like Kobe and Reggie Miller.
We have even more listener questions on the table, including – Are the Magic poised for a breakout season? Is Russell Westbrook cooked, or just in the wrong system in Denver as Rob suggests? We dive into that, and acknowledge the NBA Halloween costume of the year… which goes to the guy who dressed up like Manu Ginobili and his girlfriend who dressed up as the bat he swatted out of the air during a game!

Rob is live from Houston as the Rockets celebrate the 30th anniversary of their 1994-95 NBA Championship, which breaks into a conversation about what teams are beholden to their last championship and need to find a way past it. And of course we open with the wild conversation about the Dwyane Wade statue – as we all think it was really bad, but it appears that Wade had a hand in approving it before it was unveiled. We love that D-Wade got his statue, and Rob jokes that he ever were to get one he would want to make sure it looks exactly like him.
Plus the Lakers have come out of the gates strong, winners of three of their first four games, and Rob is happy with the system he’s seeing so far from LA. JJ is now the front runner to win Coach of the Year which is a hilarious “way too early” prediction for Harper. Rob likes the limited look of plays that the Lakers have rolled out, which is keeping the offense simple. Joel Embiid also got T’d up even though he hasn’t played a game yet this season, due to “left knee management”, which scares everyone about how the Sixers season will play out if he remains on the bench. Jenners also has a wild NBA stat about Ben Simmons that further infuriates the show.
Everyone on the show rolls out their homework for Rob, which was to lay out the six teams from the East and the West that will make the Playoffs this season… and of course everyone’s opinions waver wildly, with a few exceptions. We also touch on the Indiana Fever parting ways with Christie Sides, the WILD end of the OKC-New Orleans game with two buzzer-beater threes, and the total meltdown from the Washington Commanders radio booth after last week’s Hail Mary to win the game. Plus an inspiring Big Shot of the Week to a woman in LA who saved a young girl’s life, and a round of “Build me a Statue” as a salute to D-Wade’s wild one that was unveiled this week.
-
We open the bonus show this week with ESPN’s ranking of the Top 25 players in the NBA as we tip off the season… and Rob is already knee-deep in controversy for not putting Luca Doncic in his Top 10 this week. Plus we see if Rob and B-Dog can guess the Top 10 without seeing the list, and they struggle with one superstar who could be in the MVP conversation this year. We also ask Rob… could the Rockets will be good this year? Rob really likes their young core, but somehow uses this topic as a chance to slaughter the hopes of Hawks fans for some reason by saying their first round pick Zaccharie Risacher is going to be a bust.
Rob also wants to get into Victor Wembanyama saying that he liked a lot of guys in the league before he played, but his opinion of them has waned after seeing how little they put into their game… and Rob asks him to pump the brakes on judging other people’s game prep as he’s just a sophomore in the league. And could Anthony Edwards really leave the NBA to go play football after winning a ring? Rob thinks the skills don’t translate the same way and there are physical aspects that you don’t take into account.
After Aaron Rodgers got caught picking his nose on Sunday Night Football, we discuss the most embarrassing things that have happened to us – Rob says it was when his pants fell down on an NBA Sideline, and Jenners getting spit-shamed in the grocery store for licking his fingers to open a bag. And the curious case of Texas throwing enough trash on the field to get the officials to pick up a flag really sets a bad precedent for College Football. And we close with Tyrese Haliburton… posting a congratulatory video at 4am to 50 Cent after seeing him in Vegas… with three white women in the background that he brought home from the show. We ask Rob about the last thing he posted online that his wife asked him to take down… and it was a picture with a porno star in Vegas!

The NBA season tips off TONIGHT! And Rob is back to work at Spectrum – not for the home opener – but he will be in the building for the Timberwolves and Lakers as they tip off the season. We take a look around the league at the get-in prices for the NBA home openers, and the Celtics and Knicks at the Garden leads the way with the most expensive ticket which makes sense to Rob who is now more optimistic about the Knicks. And everyone struggles to guess the lowest ticket to get in the door, which was the Bulls.
Rob was also surprised to hear Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve go OFF on the WNBA officiating, because while she was right but that’s not something you say in front of the media. And we gauge Rob’s excitement on the Lakers rookies, as “Westside Knecht” had a monster game (even though it meant Rob had to work an extra half hour) and Bronny finally showed up for the dance.
And we run off a huge round of NBA Hot Takes as the season gets underway, and it start with Kendrick Perkins saying Kawhi Leonard should consider retiring, even though he’s owed $150M over the next three season… but Rob is doubting his passion for the game. We also take the under on Ben Simmons games played at 44.5, how Luca and Kyrie could not be the greatest backcourt in NBA history because they don’t play defense, Darius Garland feeling like he was “turned on” and how Wembanyama might be special but needs to slow down on criticizing how other guys get ready for the season. Plus everyone goes over on OKC winning 50 games this year, and what to expect in Philly if Joel Embiid misses half the season.
We find out if Rob has plans to go to the World Series in LA, B-Dog has something to say to Cleveland fans after the Deshaun Watson injury, and we offer up a Big Shot of the Week to two middle school girls who got a proper burial for a lost veteran who was buried without a headstone. And to honor the return of the NBA season, we play an NBA Players edition of Black Crime or White Crime!

Listeners want to know if Zach LaVine is back for the Bulls after a monster preseason performance, but Rob doesn’t have any for Zach because it all depends on his health. Plus a question comes to the show on whether the Bulls should retire Derrick Rose’s number, and what it takes to reach that achievement, because none of us think he’s done enough to have his number retired. We also joke about how Lethal Shooter finally got an amazing picture with Michael Jordan that was out of focus and how he made the mistake of turning to the Internet to fix it. Plus Embiid said this week that he’s done playing back-to-backs, but Rob doesn’t like it because it comes with the territory when you signed your contract. Another listener question to Rob is about the Ball kids, on whether or not they got a fair shake due to their dad, and Rob says they’ve done just fine if they can stay healthy. And we wrap with Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni using his kids as a shield at a post-game press conference and Rob says that should only be allowed after you win a title in your respective sport.

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?”
-
We open this week’s bonus show with one of the wilder basketball card stories we’ve ever heard! In the wake of the Menendez brothers show on Netflix, it has surfaced that both brothers were photographed in the background of a Mark Jackson 1990-91 NBA Hoops card and people are asking them to sign it. It stems into a conversation about the strangest things Rob was asked to sign, and people even wanted him to sign baseballs which makes NO sense. Rob also gets his first look at the wild fight between two female fans happening in the background of KhaDarel Hodge’s celebration video after catching the game winning touchdown last Thursday night, taking us into stories about where we witnessed our favorite fights. Eminem having a grandchild made us all feel old, and we relate that to seeing other people from our youth get older that makes us feel old. Plus Rob offers up his thoughts on the young Rockets roster going into this season, and how he’s excited to see what they can put together. And we close out the show with the strange story of Rashee Rice’s mother being a porch pirate, and what was stolen from our homes by porch pirates.
-
With B-Dog running late as we start the big show, Rob jokes about how a Raisin truck wrecked and took him out one week on his way home, which seems like the most implausible excuse ever. Oh and basketball is BACK and Rob is already working back in the studio, and we get right into whether Bronny is ready for the show or not. We all seem to agree that he isn’t ready, Rob thinks he still gets the pass to play early in the season, and is hopeful that this push to get him to play with LeBron doesn’t set him back in his career development. Plus Rob weighs in on JJ’s interaction with the media regarding the questions about Rui, being combative like he was on First Take, and uses the opportunity to tell us how Rui will fit into the Lakers lineup this season. And it wouldn’t be a wild week of college football upsets if we didn’t dance on Rob’s grave after Alabama’s epic loss to Vanderbilt, and we have some laughs with the audio of Diego Pavia after the game and how much money he just made for himself. Pat Bev also chimes in on the “disrespect” for Doc Rivers which cracks Rob up, as the played for Phil Jackson in his prime and the comparison of Doc and Phil is wildly unwarranted. That also segues us into Pat’s take on Ben Simmons and how none of us have any expectations for him on the floor. And the early betting odds are out for who could win Coach of the Year… and we don’t even KNOW some of these guys, leading us to play an impromptu game of “Who He Coach For?” And we round out the show with discussion of Caitlin Clark winning Rookie of the Year, the heated rivalry between the Dodgers and Padres this week, a very cool Big Shot of the Week… and to honor Kirk Cousins doing his post-Thursday interview from the parking lot of a Waffle House, it’s another edition of Walmart or Waffle House!
-
The bonus show kicks off this week with discussion of Joel Embiid, who reportedly lost 25-30 pounds over the summer. Listeners want to know if Rob likes his big men lean or muscular, and Rob feels like Embiid was heavy and needed to lose it. We also saw the official retirement of Derrick Rose this week, which spawns a conversation about guys we thought were going to be the next big thing and just never got there – and SO many great names come up. And with the passing of Pete Rose, as Jenners had several bad encounters with him, we ask about celebrities we had bad run-ins with. Woj also retired from ESPN this week and we want to know who Rob thinks should replace him, and if he ever worked with Woj in his time at ESPN. The Chicago White Sox finished the season with the worst record in MLB history and we discuss teams that are just hard to root for, including the Browns, Kings and especially the Clippers. And now that we are officially in October we see who on the show is a Halloween guy.
-
We are back from a week off which we forgot to tell the audience about! Blame that one on Jenners who took his kid to Universal Studios, and we learned that Rob is terrified of roller coasters. Rob also updates us on his family in the Carolinas after dealing with all the flooding from Hurricane Helene, and thankfully they are all okay. Plus Rob landed himself in the news this week by saying he deserves to be in the Hall of Fame, which leads us into a conversation about Pete Rose and whether MLB should lift his ban now that he’s passed on. That also brings us into the conversation about the loss of Dikembe Mutombo, one of the most iconic big men to ever play the game and an amazing ambassador for the NBA across the globe. And we have a ton of stuff to talk about on the heels of NBA Media Day, first and foremost being Draymond Green. Harper salutes him for refusing to take any accountability for suspensions and time missed, while Jenners really just wants SOME kind of accountability from him after everything he’s been through. Respect to the Milwaukee reporter who asked Dame about Gorilla shooting her shot as Rob jokes about how much fun Media Days can be. And the Knicks did a lot of squirming behind the mics because they couldn’t talk about the Karl Anthony-Towns trade, as Rob thinks Milwaukee made a HUGE mistake letting him go! Paul Pierce said this week that the Knicks won’t win a championship in his lifetime, and Rob is hesitant to agree, and the audio of Tom Brady cooking Baker Mayfield reminded us of Kobe Bryant. Georgia vs Alabama breaks into the show, which leads us to a funny Big Shot of the Week, and we close it out with another fun round of Bet On Yourself.
-
The bonus show is here, opening with a question about Dwyane Wade’s coming statue in Miami – as we ask Rob what player deserves a statue that doesn’t have one, and if he were ever to get a statue what it would look like. We also break down Kevin Durant’s “perfect starting lineup” and Rob disagrees with MOST of it. Plus Shaq said this week that Caitlin Clark needs to “wait her turn” and Rob immediately throws it back at Shaq who didn’t wait HIS turn, but also says there is nothing wrong with a young player taking over when they are playing well. Let’s just slow down the “how great they will be” conversation after just a year or two. Plus we ask Rob if the Sphere is the coolest venue in the country after that wild MMA walkout presentation during their last event. And we close it out with asking Rob about the strangest things he’s seen or eaten overseas with all his recent travels, which spins into a discussion about eating chicken feet, frogs legs, and Rob’s HILARIOUS story about eating horse before he knew it was horse!

Rob opens the show this week live from Manila in the Philippines, as he is traveling for another NBA event and repping American hoops overseas. And Harper comes in on a high after the Falcons beat the Eagles in Philadelphia on Monday night! We also jump into Steve Kerr’s comments about how much Boston fans are going to come for him this season after the Jayson Tatum drama at the Olympics, and Rob feels like opposing players will feed off that energy more than the home team so they can shut them up. That also gets into the story about Derrick White getting into a fight at the Colorado-Colorado State game this past weekend. And speaking of coaches, Kerr came in at #2 on the CBS Sports list of best NBA coaches, with Spoelstra coming in at #1, and JJ Redick finishing dead last – with Rob feels is justified because he has ZERO coaching experience. Rob also has a lot of love for A’ja Wilson after she shattered the WNBA single season scoring record, and how happy he is to have more eyes on the league now. And we wonder why the Brooklyn Nets are the betting leader to land Jimmy Butler when they are hanging their hats on Ben Simmons, and where Jimmy would better fit instead. Audio of the Week comes to us from the Shannon Sharpe Instagram sex mishap and how Ochocinco responded on their podcast! The NFL and college football topics this week go from Tua’s future, the worst officiating calls of the week, the Arch Manning hype and the futures of Billy Napier at Florida and Mike Norvell at FSU. Big Shot of the Week goes to the Chicopee, MA Police Department for helping build bridges with the kids in their community

Rob opens the show with a Happy Birthday to his wife Candace, even though they didn't go dancing this year, which was an annual birthday tradition. And we dive right into listener questions about Rudy Gobert training with MMA fighters, and the wild idea that he continues to get Defensive Player of the Year Awards even though he's a defensive liability when it matters most. We also ask Rob if the Bulls and Zach LeVine can repair their relationship after the active work the team did to trade him. Plus, after Steve Mariucci showed up on NFL Network with a cast he had from when he was four years old (he's 64 now) we all offer up the strangest things we have from our childhoods... and Rob's is a classic! Rob also thinks that Deion Sanders will last three or four more seasons at Colorado despite all the drama surrounding him and the program at the start of the season. Finally with the release of the Thomas Froot Loop Bagels, we talk about some of the nastiest food we would eat as kids including ketchup on eggs, salted watermelon, peanuts in Coke, and for some reason Rob stuffing peppermints into squished up oranges.

Rob had a rough experience at a rental place with some dated furniture and no A/C, which got us all thinking about the things that remind us of our childhoods… everything from cars with no seatbelts to plastic on the furniture! And we immediately dive into one of the biggest stories of the week after Tyreek Hill got detained before the Dolphins game, including the crazy audio from the police body cam. Rob feels like both sides were at fault and how he advises his family to always comply with the police in the moment and deal with the fallout later, because you never know when an angry cop can make a situation a lot worse. And on the heels of the Tyreek incident we make our picks for this week’s Draft Kings Pick Six on the Dolphins-Bills game. We also touch on this ridiculous storyline from Windhorst about whether or not JJ Redick “believes” in Austin Reaves – and Rob says he believes in him coming off the bench and doing the job he was paid for, and how this is a typical BS offseason storyline. Plus there’s some audio of the big fella out there this week, as Shaq appeared on the Pat McAfee Show and said he doesn’t view Wemby as a “dominant” player. Rob agrees on the terms that you define dominance as guys who play with physical force, and it’s unfair to compare a guy like Wemby to Shaq. And some crazy audio from Angel Reese as she comes out on her show and talks about some of the wild hate that she’s received. There’s a lot to talk about from this wild NFL opening weekend, including Giants fans burning Daniel Jones jerseys after one week, the huge Raiders-Chargers fights, and everyone’s take on the announcement of Kendrick Lamar as the Super Bowl Halftime performer. And of course some of the college football fallout from Notre Dame to Michigan, and the Governor of New Hampshire gets the Big Shot of the Week for a wild reason! And we close it out with another classic match-up of Rapid Fire.

It’s a loaded bonus show this week, as we dive right into Kevin Garnett’s statement that the Phoenix Suns can win more than 47 games this year and Booker and Beal could be MVPs. Rob does not agree, but Harp and Jenners both think they can pull 50 wins. Listener questions this week come to B-Dog, about how much longer he thinks Trae Young will last in Atlanta, as the reality of the trade market just doesn’t exist for his contract. We also rank the all-time careers of James Harden, Russell Westbrook, Dwyane Wade and Chris Paul – and everyone has a different ranking for different reasons. In the aftermath of the Ricky Pearsall incident, listeners want to know if Rob has any flashy jewelry like a Rolex, and is he afraid to wear it out in public. Plus we help Mark Cuban remember the 2006 NBA Finals as he seems to be suffering from some revisionist history regarding Dwyane Wade, and after Joey Chestnut demolished 83 hot dogs in 10 minutes, we ask Rob what he could eat 83 of!

It’s a weird start to the show this week as everyone seems to be having some sort of insurance issue – which goes to prove that anyone from radio guys to former NBA stars, all have to deal with the same tiny issues in life. Of course we need to know if Rob thinks the Clippers stabbed Paul George in the back, as his father claimed this week… and Rob says NO it’s always just business, but the Clippers definitely screwed up this situation! And with our friends from Draft Kings coming back to the show this week, Rob gets in deep with his fantasy football competition this year and how he’s approaching it. Plus the news about the Philadelphia 76ers saying they are “seriously considering” moving to New Jersey is just a negotiation ploy to put some pressure on the city of Philadelphia to get a new stadium deal done. And with Steph signing his monster one-year extension, Rob says it sets him up for the end of his career in Golden State. Speaking of big paychecks, Shaq thinks the WNBA women should be paid what the men are getting – and while we love Shaq, and agree with that sentiment, he of all people knows that the WNBA isn’t there financially yet. And props to Angel Reese for breaking the WNBA single season rebound record. Plus some great college football audio from Brian Kelly, a random rant from Mike Gundy, and Rob’s good friend Dabo Swinney checked in with him after that tough loss to Georgia to say they are going to right the ship. There’s also an inspiring Big Shot of the Week to a brother who came through for his sister on a DIY – something Rob refuses to do anymore because he has money – and another hilarious installation of “Walmart or Waffle House”!

We open the bonus show by gauging Rob’s excitement and trepidation as the Crimson Tide kick off their first college football season without Nick Saban in a long time, and Rob is remaining optimistic about their playoff chances. And as the NBA asks to have the Warner Brothers Discovery lawsuit to be thrown out, B-Dog feels like this is a long play for younger viewers because so few people have traditional cable packages anymore. We also get Chet Holmgren’s “welcome to the NBA moment” and Rob reveals that his was not getting a call after getting a hard foul, and the ref looking at him like a little kid for even looking for the foul. He also shares an AMAZING story about sharing the court with Michael Jordan and how he was well aware that he was getting calls that others weren’t. Plus after Adam Sandler was seen hooping in a local NYC neighborhood, we ask Rob about his favorite celebrities to hoop with. And did you see the Six Flags Mexico ride that got stuck 250 feet in the air in the middle of a nasty storm?? It gets us into the conversation about Robert Horry and roller coasters. Plus we put the guys to the test and see if they can dial up the Top 20 rated players in the new NBA 2K25.

We are BACK from our break – after taking a week off for Rob’s 54th birthday (where he restaurant hopped and drank too much), and Rob’s NBA trip to China for youth basketball camps. We get all the recaps of Rob’s escapades, before we dive into the insane rumor of the week, that the Lakers are already angling for a way to get Luka Doncic after LeBron hangs it up. And Rob and B-Dog both agree that this will never happen. Plus we get into the drama surrounding Anthony Edwards after he said Jordan was the only guy “back in the day” who had any skill, as Magic Johnson responded live on stage, and Rob says it’s the ignorance of youth who never got to see those guys play. Kevin Garnett also rocked the NBA boat this week by saying Giannis was the 4th best player in the East – even though he could only come up with two guys who are better – and Rob asks who we would roll with when fully healthy. Angel Reese just scored herself a new podcast and a partnership with Reese’s, which continues to showcase the main stream rise of the WNBA! And Sheryl Swoops got into it with Stephen A Smith over the women’s league this week, which continues to show how relevant the WNBA conversation is in sports today. College Football season is also back, and we couldn’t help but dive into the Deion Sanders story, as he had a reporter banned from asking questions, and Harper feels like Deion needs to leave Colorado to redeem a bigger program to get his clout back. Plus an inspiring Big Shot of the Week to a Kentucky teacher with a huge heart, and a fun round “That’s Some BS”, College Football edition!
