People don't realize that this guy has a carrer average of only 8.0 PPG. Wich means he's the clutchest player of all time by default, especially knowing that he's the only player that got 7 rings aside from players who played for the celtics in the Bill Russell era.
Horry wasn't known for putting up 20 or 30 points a night. He came in when needed and hit the clutch 4th quarter shots that led him to 7 rings. He played the sport of basketball correctly. He definitely got more out of basketball than basketball got out of him. Very smart man.
X02Overdose They could probably afford him and in his career he's been known to play on only the best teams. The guy played with Hakeem in his prime. With Shaq and Kobe. Then Timmy,Manu,Parker etc... He would definetly be playing in Cleveland or Golden State today.
My friend and I is big Hakeem fan and normally those people would turn to C-Webb and Duncan fan after Hakeem retired. 94-95: "What are you doing rookie??!!!...Oh it went in, YEAHHH!" 00-03: "No! Horry is left open! OH..NOOOOOOO!!" 05-07: "Get Horry the ball!!!! That's it! YEAH!!!" One of the best piece for a championship team. He got 7 rings for a reason.
many people envy him because they are haters...but they do not know that those 3 hall of famer coaches put in bob to play in the fourth quarter specially during dying seconds for a REASON.... and that REASON is to WIN!!!
@@bigsassyster No, Russell has 11 rings. And while no one is going to say that Horry is in the same class as Jordan, as a role player no one has ever been better. Horry's 7 rings makes him the only one with that many who was NOT playing with Bill Russell on the Celtics.
@@Rollin_L a clutch killer like Big shot Bob, is much more than a role player. Kurt Rambis was a role player. Robert Horry was a fucking sniper in the Álamo.
I've been following Horry since college at Alabama the Rockets got a steal in the draft top 3 clutch player of all time look at 7 rings that shows how great he was every team he went to he his defense and shooting made the difference for each of those teams to win championships he should be in hall of fame based on his playoff performances a truly great player I'm sure his peers would agree to put him in based on his almost unbelievable clutch shooting I have never seen a player so clutch and the way the ball seems to end up in his hands with 2 seconds left even though his number wasn't called weird yet it belonged in his hands Destiny willed it there magical Jordan was the only other person and maybe Bird ,Curry , and Michael Cooper. Byron Scott honorable mention but Horry had a good luck angel Jordan was all Jordan the greatest pure athlete I've ever seen he was built for basketball and moved so fluently with incredible mind and body control
wanna rent young Rob to Cavaliers. he can shoot, put the ball on the floor, facilitate, rebound, block, defend smaller guards and most importantly, he could get all the 20 or more points by himself in the 4th quarter of in finals game 4 type of situation.
Oswaldo Sandoval Im a Robert Horry fan and all and I cant stand the Warriors but Steph Curry is on another planet from any basketball player in history. Closest thing to him is his teammate Klay Thompson
+Fredric Felder I respect your opinion good brother... but Yao was a consecutive all-star, career starter and a superstar that revolutionized basketball in his country. Robert Horry had an all around game and was a force in his early Houston days, but he couldn't cut it being the main man for his short stint in Phoenix. I take nothing away from Robert though, he was definitely clutch when it counted for the Lakers and Spurs, but his numbers don't compare to Yao's or Yao's impact on bringing a culture and large audience to the NBA.
That shot Robert Horry made to beat Sacramento was absolutely necessary to keep the Lakers in the series and put them in a position to win the championship which they did.
Vlade said that Horry last second 3 pointer in game 5 against Sacramento was lucky. Horry was lucky that Valde slapped the ball right to him, the shot was pure skill and the basketball IQ to know where to position yourself to prevent Valde from trying to slap the ball to the other side of court and run the clock
Chris Brusaurd said Dennis Rodman is the best roll player of all time. NO WAY!! It's Robert Horry and not even an argument, go on with your bad self Robert and your 7 rings!!!
Good video. The video quality sucked but the editing was good. Only thing is that game five against the Pistons was so crazy I was at that fkn game. He didnt score a point until the final shot of the third quarter with a 3, and then just went ballistic. Dropped like 18 more in the 4th, grabbing offensive rebounds, had this crazy awkward left handed dunk driving down the lane. He put 18 on you in a half quarter and you never saw a single shot coming including the last one. You couldn’t stop him, you couldn’t hope to contain him, you could do nothing but lose - to Robert Horry.
many people envy him because they are haters...but they do not know that those 3 hall of famer coaches put in bob to play in the fourth quarter specially during dying seconds for a REASON.... and that REASON is to WIN!!!
4:50 proves that the Lakers were more than big Shaq scoring over people and bullying people, they were a team. Horry, fisher, fox, Shaw and others were great role players
Nice compilation but I think that last part with Nash getting knocked to the ground and the Suns players getting suspended for making 1 step onto the court should have been left out. This is the one chip that the Spurs won that should have an asterisk next to it because the Spurs would have most likely lost that series and the Suns would have won the title that year if it weren't for the unjust suspensions that happened.
funny pippen went to double kobe when a two tied the game and left a man open beyond arc. Rasheed wallace did the same with same circumstances. Two of the best defenders when engaged of generation make stupid decisions oh well. vlade divac was always nonchalant slap it down foo
kobe did not stop AI. he and Horry played illegal defense both standing in the lane waiting for ai. and the still couldn't block his shot. they most certainly fouled him. and Jim Craig was drinking kobe kool-aid juice way too much those days to be objective
If I'm not mistaken, he scored a huge shot vs the Sonics in 93 in the conference semis as well, a series which the rockets eventually lost. He has hit many more clutch shots than his "famous ones".
