Shaq: Antoine Walker is our Robert Horry

[missmyzte]

Antoine Walker scored 12 of his 15 points and bailed the Heat out with three consecutive baskets in the fourth quarter.

“It’s real important to get him, he’s our missing link,” said Shaquille O’Neal, who had 23 points. “He’s going to be our Robert Horry. We need him to step up and hit shots and be consistent with the high percentage shot.”
:idiot Well, if I didn't think Shaq was an idiot before I would now. But I already thought he was an idiot so this just confirms that. Again.

[spurs=bling]

ahahahahahaha

that should make the most stupid quote of the year

[bdubya]

:lmao

[mavsfan1000]

Shaq is the most dominant player in the nba. He can't be stopped by anyone. :spin :lol

[Horry For 3!]

:lmao Antoine Walker couldn't hit a big game winning shot if his life depended on it :lol :lmao

[mavsfan1000]

Yeah he can. Remember the shimmy?

[Horry For 3!]

Yeah he can. Remember the shimmy?
That was not a big game in the playoffs :lmao

[timvp]

"We need him to step up and hit shots and be consistent with the high percentage shot."

:lol

Shaq is a genius.

He's the funniest guy in the league. The problem is people take him too seriously.

[mavsfan1000]

Well considering Horry was pretty for the Lakers in his day I guess Walker can't do too much worse. Horry only makes big shots.

What does Horry being pretty have to do with anything? :lol

And if you don't realize what an incredible contributor Horry was when he was a Laker, then you must have never have seen him play. He did a lot more than hit big shots, just as he's doing for the Spurs now.

Isn't that what counts? Would you rather him make a game winning shot in the regular season rather than the playoffs? :spin

[bdubya]

That was not a big game in the playoffs :lmao

Maybe not for YOU....in '02, he was jigglin' around shouting "no one here can guard me" while the Celts were sending the Pistons home 3-1. :cuss

[mavsfan1000]

No. He should be a factor for the whole game. Not just the end though I guess whatever. Also he was pretty bad at times for the lakers. They would talk about his shooting slumps and he kept getting worse until he went to the spurs.

Stick to subjects you know about because this isn't one of them. How many championships has Antoine helped lead his team to? Tell me about Walker's defensive abilities and how many shots he blocks?

Horry crashed in 2003, he had to play too many minutes during the regular season because Fat Ass Shaq decided to wait to have surgery until he was on "company time". Horry was exhausted by the time the playoffs came around. He didn't just suddenly become a good player when he went to the Spurs.

[Melmart1]

To be fair, Shaq said he is 'GOING to be', not that he IS...

And I agree with timvp... Shaq says a lot of things that are total BS to the press.. he knows how to work them and that is a good thing, imho.

[ShoogarBear]

In related news, Shaq also said that Jason Williams was going to be "our John Stockton".

[polandprzem]

Okay Shaq- Antoine can be your Robert Horry. Fine with me.


Damn - he named himself as MDE and then named Kobe the best player on the planet and everybody are eating this crap.

[sanman53]

Another ignorant quote from Shaq. Toin' comes nowhere close to Horry. He couldn't hit a big shot if the rim was 3' in front of him and as wide as two basketballs!

[angel_luv]

:lol

Shaq is a genius.

He's the funniest guy in the league.


Funnier than Brent? I think not.


And there is only one Big Shot.

[The Cougar]

Law of avg. says that you can only make 1 out of every 3 threes. Walker makes 1 out of 9.

[nkdlunch]

Not only that but Walker has requested the League the introduction of a 4-point shot

[1Parker1]

In related news, Shaq also said that Jason Williams was going to be "our John Stockton".
:lol :lol

[PM5K]

Alonzo is their David Robinson?

[sa_butta]

Horry is a way better clutch shooter. And Horry doesnt jack up nearly as many shots as Antoine (I play all five positions) Walker.

[PM5K]

I don't know about Shaq sometimes, it's hard to tell if he's joking around when reading a quote, but I doubt he was unless Toine take a joke well, otherwise it might be a little insulting to him, either way Horry got the worst insult of all, even having his name mentioned in the same breath as Toine...

[leemajors]

maybe he just meant toine would jack that shot up without a second thought if the time came...

[Stephen A. Smith]

Not only was Shaq not joking, but the Big Fella was displaying the kind of perception and leadership that has been his hallmark for going on 20 years now! Antoine Walker has been the subject of a lot of slings and arrows, many of which have come from this message board. My sources tell me that Toine has been crying himself to sleep as a result. So what Shaq is doing is building up his man's confidence so that he won't be afraid to shoot. You don't see Tim Duncan out there saying, "Brent Barry is our Robert Horry." The result? Barry is playing like a shorter, somehow whiter version of Rasho Nesterovic. Quite frankly, I think you should bookmark that article because the Diesel's comments are the kind of thing that will give Walker the confidence to finally get aggressive with his offense.

[polandprzem]

Brent Barry is Brent Barry

We will see the result of the Shaq motivation

[ShoogarBear]

:lmao :lmao :lmao

Classic.

[Warlord23]

Seems to me like Shaq was poking fun at Walker. I mean, comparing one of the most un-clutch players in the league to Horry .. unlikely that he was being serious. That's like saying Nazr is our DRob.

All that quote is going to do is provide more ammo for sports writers like Bill Simmons to make a laughing stock out of 'Toine... Not that he wasn't one to begin with, but still, that quote will set off a spate of Toine jokes.

[AI-square]

The media are killing us by putting the mics to the mouth of this crap-talking baller. Robert Horry's clutch factor - off the charts.
Antoine Walker's clutch factor - out the window

[bigbendbruisebrother]

Horry only makes big shots.

Dude, it must be hard to see what Horry does for this team when your left eye is jammed firmly up against your prostate gland.

Horry's energy, defense, rebounding and the ability to draw a charge came up huge in the playoffs. And then of course, he was totally clutch.

he's still upset horry didn't want to come to dallas.

[nkdlunch]

Toine is a fat-mans' Robert Horry

[pache100]

What does Horry being pretty have to do with anything? :lol

:lmao :rollin :eyebrows

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Toine is a fat-mans' Robert Horry

He's Shaq's Robert Horry, if you want to get real specific about which fat man.

Shaq is going to be Dade County's next Buford T. Justice.

[mavsfan1000]

How long do you plan on Horry being a big factor in the playoffs. Isn't he like 35? Also how was that Finley signing? :lol

[nkdlunch]

Finley is doing just fine, helping us while still getting paychecks from Mavs. He's gonna do even better in the playoffs draining 3pt daggers on the Mavies.

And Horry blind and on crutches is better in the playoffs than VanHorn, Stackhouse and Terry combined :lol

[mavsfan1000]

Cocaine is a hell of a drug. :lol

[nkdlunch]

Cocaine is a hell of a drug. :lol

yes it is. But not during pregnancy, guess someone should have told your mom...

[Solid D]

Finley is actually on the "+" side of the Roland +/- ratings, as is Horry, so his contribution to the Spurs, as Dallas pays the bulk of his salary, is a win/win as of today.

Nick Van Exel is the bench addition that has not paid off for the Spurs yet. At $1M, it's not a big waste of money...just a low ROI at this juncture.

[mavsfan1000]

Don't worry about Finley. He always disappears in big games. The last 2 playoffs he has been downright terrible. He was a big reason Dallas lost in 5 to Sacramento and the same in the Phoenix series.

"Jeff Van Horn is our Robert Horry . . . until he misses and then I'm throwing that asshole under the bus, too."

[SoCalSpursFan]

Hey, remember when the Mavs were a factor in the playoffs!? Oh wait...

:rolleyes

[dbreiden83080]

If the Heat are banking on Walker to hit big shots in the East Finals against the Pistons this year, it is going to be a 4 game sweep for the Psitons.

[mavsfan1000]

Hey, remember when the Mavs were a factor in the playoffs!? Oh wait...

Remember the time Finley showed up in the playoffs. :lol
