The Nickname Reveal
After the Celtics defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 3-1 in their opening round playoff series on April 26, Jaylen Brown spoke to media and jokingly revealed that the team calls Baylor Scheierman 'Big Shot Bob.' Brown explained the nickname by referencing Scheierman's timely shot-making and key rebounds, comparing him to Hall of Famer Robert Horry, who was known for clutch playoff performances with the Lakers and Spurs.
Brown's Explanation
When asked to explain the nickname further, Brown claimed that Scheierman 'got the mullet' and that 'that's what he calls himself.' Brown said he was 'just being a good friend.' However, this explanation proved humorous given Scheierman's immediate public denial of the nickname.
Scheierman Shuts It Down
On April 27, Scheierman responded via Twitter/X, stating: 'JB is my guy but I gotta shut this one down lol. I've never been called nor called myself this once! Appreciate the love though JB.' When later asked by Boston media about the nickname, Scheierman maintained he had no idea where it came from and said 'I'm just along for the ride,' declining to comment further on whether he liked it.
Teammate Piling On
Celtics teammate Hugo Gonzalez chimed in on Scheierman's Twitter denial, posting 'Idk what you mean, we always call you like that, don't be shy now,' suggesting the joke was being perpetuated by other players as well.
Context for the Nickname
Scheierman earned the nickname through his strong playoff performance. In Game 4 against the 76ers, he shot 46.2% from three-point range in the series while providing solid defense and rebounding. Brown's comment came after Scheierman contributed 6 points, 5 rebounds, and made both of his three-point attempts in 14 minutes of play.
