Big Shot Bob - Shoot Around Ep 75 - The Paycheck Tracker

The Shoot Around starts with Nikola Jokic who said this week that players should get paid LESS for losses to use as motivation. As a fan Jenners doesn't hate the idea, but Rob feels like it's disrespectful because guys take that money with the idea that you're always try to win. We also joke about how funny it would be to have a stat tracker that watches a player's paycheck go down as the game gets away from them. Kirk also asks if we're sleeping on the Grizzlies, and Rob reminds us that before his suspension and injury, he was in the MVP conversation and is the spark plug for the rest of the team. 

 

We also get Rob's thoughts about Shams reporting that the Warriors are on a hunt for another "star", and Rob says when he looks at the Warriors he thinks they need to add strength and size. Donny's question for the show is regarding the Knicks but Rob still isn't buying it. And we have to discuss the video that went viral this week comparing Jokic's moves to Magic's and how similar they look, and it sounds like Rob is FINALLY on the Jokic bandwagon. And which player would we take? 

 

And we close out the show with the story of Kirk Herbstreit's son Chase committing to Michigan, after his dad made his name at Ohio State. We ask Rob what school would burn him up if his son decided to commit to a rival. If you ever have a question for the Shoot Around, send it to [email protected] or on X and Instagram @bigshotbobpod.
