In this week’s Shoot Around Bonus Show, Episode 129, the hosts discuss a fan question sparked by a joke about trading Giannis Antetokounmpo, focusing on whether the Cleveland Cavaliers could realistically assemble a blockbuster package involving Evan Mobley, future assets, and possibly Jared Allen to create a short-term “super team” with Donovan Mitchell, James Harden, LeBron James, and Giannis—while noting the likely lack of depth and long-term flexibility.

They answer a question about Craig Sager, reacting to a Kevin Garnett clip roasting Sager’s suit and sharing Rob’s personal story of crossing paths with Sager through Sager’s wife and an old college connection, emphasizing how widely loved Sager (and Ernie Johnson) were around the NBA. The episode also covers personalized license plates (including Rob’s former “Seven Rings” plate), a humorous Zoom court clip where a judge catches a woman lying about driving, and a headline about cocaine traces found in sharks near the Bahamas, prompting a debate about the scariest animal to face on cocaine.

Robert Horry, Rob Jenners and Brandon Harper return for Episode 254 after missing a show because Horry was called by the NBA to fly last-minute to Tokyo as a replacement for LaMarcus Aldridge, followed by a military charity event in Phoenix; Horry also mentions meeting the creator of One Piece and receiving unreleased Lakers collab gear for his kids. They recap college hoops including UCLA women’s blowout of South Carolina, Michigan’s title run built via transfers, debate NIL money, portal movement, coach/player accountability, and discuss a Trump executive order proposal limiting transfers and eligibility.

The conversation shifts to the Lakers as Luka suffers a grade-2 left hamstring strain and AR an oblique strain, then covers standings, the 65-game awards rule, Giannis vs. the Bucks investigation, Jokic’s historic stat pace, WNBA’s Angel Reese trade to the Dream, anti-tanking lottery proposals, a “knockoff candies” game inspired by a stolen Kit Kat truck, and a Big Shot of the Week honoring Texas dads who bought a crossing guard a car.

Robert Horry and the crew open Friday’s shootaround with a discussion of LA Sparks star Kelsey Plum launching a verified AI “digital twin” for real-time conversations, and debate what it says about modern social interaction and who from history they’d want to talk to via AI (including Thurgood Marshall), while also questioning whether they’d want a digital version of a deceased parent.

They pivot to a listener question about whether Joel Embiid deserves slack for early-career missed seasons, noting he’s played 91 games since winning MVP and arguing games still count because he was paid. The episode shifts to “dumbest fight” stories sparked by a wild Florida pickleball dispute, including Horry’s bar argument over an autograph and a college brawl after a spilled beer, before ending on Afroman’s police-raid saga, his defamation-court win, and his response through diss tracks and a patriotic tuxedo.
