When Detroit and San Antonio suit up on Thursday, Robert Horry will set a record he probably isn't even aware of: Big Shot Bob will face his sixth different team in the NBA Finals.
Shaquille O'Neal had a chance to join Horry in this category, but his Heat fell a few points shy Monday night.
Horry's history:
>1994: Rockets vs. Knicks
>1995: Rockets vs. Magic
>2000: Lakers vs. Pacers
>2001: Lakers vs. 76ers
>2002: Lakers vs. Nets
>2005: Spurs vs. Pistons
Here's the remainder of the top five, including three Bulls teammates:
Shaq has faced the Rockets, Pacers, 76ers, Nets and Pistons.
Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen played the Lakers, Trail Blazers, Suns, SuperSonics and Jazz. Horace Grant faced the same first four opponents as Jordan and Pippen, and then the Sixers after he moved to the Lakers.
