Big Shot Bob – Ep 258 – Scoop B and Networking at the Red Wedding

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.   TOPICS COVERED IN THIS EPISODE: Luka Doncic injury update and Lakers' real chances vs OKC The Scoop B intel on Giannis — Portland, Brooklyn, Boston, and who's actually in play Robert Horry's Rockets without MJ — the debate settles itself Knicks run through Atlanta and then Philly in Game 1 Why the Magic fell apart and what it means for their future Anthony Edwards off the bench — is this a turning point?
