Big Shot Bob – Ep 270 – OG Original Grandpa

Robert Horry is back at his mom's house for the week, which means the guys start with fried catfish, La Spata's subs, and why Hardee's steak biscuits are undefeated — before getting into the biggest story of the NBA offseason.   LeBron James is headed to Philadelphia on a deal that pays him a fraction of what he's made in years past, and Horry, Jenners, and B-Dawg break down what that actually means for the Sixers. They get into the point guard experiment, whether Tyrese Maxey's game gets hurt by it, who's playing the three now that KCP and V.J. Edgecomb are both in the mix, and why Horry has real concerns about the helicopter commute rumors after what happened to Kobe.   From there it turns into a full GOAT conversation. Horry explains why he judges players by their weaknesses instead of their strengths, makes the case for Kobe belonging in the same breath as Jordan and LeBron, and lays out what it would actually mean for LeBron's legacy if he wins a title in Philly. The guys also grade the Sixers' defense, run through Draymond re-signing with the Warriors, and catch everyone up on the East, which is suddenly loaded.   Plus: the wildest stat of the week (a Miami football transfer quarterback is about to out-earn LeBron, Caitlin Clark, and Shohei Ohtani combined), a debate over people calling the NBA the "MNBA," Big Shot of the Week honoring a firefighter who pulled three kids out of a capsized boat, and Rapid Fire makes its return.   Subscribe for new episodes of the Big Shot Bob Podcast every week, and catch Shoot Around for the extended cut and extra bits.   00:00  Cold Open & Episode 270 Kickoff 01:38  Robert Horry's Trip Home & Comfort Food Talk 04:51  LeBron James Signs with the 76ers 08:19  Point Guard Experiment & Roster Fit Questions 12:45  The Helicopter Commute Rumor 15:47  Title Odds, National TV Games & Best Memes 18:38  Embiid's Health Promise to LeBron 19:57  Does a Title in Philly Make LeBron the GOAT? 22:31  Judging Jordan, Kobe & LeBron by Their Weaknesses 32:37  LeBron's New Role & Mentoring Embiid and Maxey 35:00  Grading the Sixers' Defense 37:28  Draymond Green Re-Signs & Steph Curry Trade Odds 38:38  Free Agency Roundup: KCP, Pistons, Jalen Duren 41:33  The Eastern Conference Gets Loaded 46:04  Craziest Stat: Miami's $6.5M Quarterback 47:50  WNBA Pay & the "MNBA" Nickname Debate 49:16  Big Shot of the Week: Firefighter's Water Rescue 50:27  Rapid Fire Returns: Horry vs. Harper 58:12  Family News & Becoming Grandpa 'OG'
