Big Shot Bob – Ep 255 – The Birdman Hand Rub

Horry recommends the Jerry West documentary on Prime and shares his relationship with West, praising his candid leadership.

They discuss Doc Rivers being fired by Milwaukee and Giannis’ uncertain comments, name an Oklahoma principal who stopped a school shooter as Big Shot of the Week, and finish with a playoff-stats “Who’s Bigger” game.   00:00 Play In Banter 01:10 Jerry West Doc 03:27 Bam Trip Controversy 09:05 Portland Surprise Win 14:47 Jamba Juice Detour 16:33 Tonight Play In Preview 18:37 Lakers Rockets Breakdown 25:49 Nuggets Wolves Picks 30:55 Knicks Hawks Series 35:45 Knicks Fans Takeover 37:53 Cavs Raptors Preview 41:14 Doc Rivers Fired 41:47 Giannis Future Talk 43:44 Holiday Chemistry Lesson 47:02 Rookie Of Year Race 50:28 Big Shot Hero Principal 53:25 Who’s Bigger Game
