Big Shot Bob – Ep 155 – Smell the Wood Burning

Robert Horry celebrates his son Christian’s team, Harvard Westlake, celebrating their second straight State Championship – as Chris gets ready to transition to UCLA this fall and get involved in the college program. On the NBA front we get into the perception of the Lakers “deep bench” as it’s touted by the media, and how the Lakers have flashes of greatness at times then drop games they should absolutely win. Plus with Jayson Tatum’s rough week, we argue if that takes him out of MVP contention, and who realistically deserves to win it at this point in the year, with SGA, Luka and of course Jokic in the conversation. And after Rudy Gobert caught a $100K fine for flashing the money sign at the refs, we wonder why there has been such a lack of consistency with fines among players and coaches this year. Brian Windhorst also gets whipped by everyone on the show for saying Allen Iverson’s shots “wouldn’t fly” in today’s NBA, we debate KG’s remarks about how the NBA botched LeBron’s 40K point milestone, the huge LSU-South Carolina debate in the women’s SEC Championship, and even kick around some of the craziness from this week’s NBA free agency. A 5-year-old basketball coach gets the Big Shot of the Week, and we put our tiny brains to the test against fifth grade cognition riddles that none of us can solve!
