Robert Horry opens the show this week by talking about his dislike for coffee, the cool special needs event he was privileged to attend this week, and the upcoming interview he has with his son Christian now that he’s committed to UCLA. We also talk about the Jalen Johnson dunk on Austin Reaves, and the dunk of the year, as Anthony Edwards postered John Collins in epic fashion this week. That spins into a conversation about Ant Man’s upside, what Rob expects to see from him in the coming years, and how good the Pelicans have been now that Zion Williamson has returned to his #1 pick form. And as we discuss how Stephen A Smith had to walk-back his take on Zion, we also get into Mad Dog Russo’s ridiculous take that Jokic is better than Shaq, and how mainstream sports media leans so heavily on gimmicks. Kyrie Irving’s WILD game winner over the weekend puts us back in a positive mindset when it comes to Kyrie, largely because the off-court noise has been at a minimum since he arrived in Dallas. We also address one of the big questions of the week – is DeMar DeRozan a Hall of Famer? Rob says yes, B-Dog says no, and the HOF conversation spins out from there. Plus bracket talk, the Kevin Harlan audio of the week, the hilarious jersey swap of the year, a cool Big Shot of the Week from Jalen Hurts, and Rob balls out in a round of Rapid Fire!
