Robert Horry Reminisces

[DarrinS]

I agree the 4th le for the Spurs had Horry's fingerprints all over it NO WAY the spurs win without that performance by Big Shot ...Detroit wins back 2 back ...

That was the 3rd le, but I agree with your point.

Horry's game 5 heroics is my #1 Spurs moment of all time

[sprrs]

I was just looking at all the post season records, and rankings that Horry has...there's really no way you keep him out of the HOF looking at some of his post season stuff...he's ranked right there with HOF'ers in several different categories.

He needs about 19 blocks to move into the top 10 all time in playoff blocked shots(he had 24 in last years run)...that will make him in the top 10 all time in playoff blocks, steals and 3 pointers made...and he'll be the only guy to do that.

He'll have the most playoffs games played in...Finals record for threes, playoffs record for 3's without a miss, most 3's in a quarter without a miss, NBA finals record for steals in a game, he's just all over the NBA playoffs and finals leaderboards and record books...and those guys whose names are by his...are HOF'ers.


Biggest difference between he and those HOF'ers? Horry's got more rings....a lot more.

If they judge him solely by the playoffs....he's in for sure. They probably won't though.

There are at least a half dozen more shots that have been game winners or at least sealed the win. I have many of them listed here: http://www.roberthorry.net/career.htm
(I haven't updated his site in forever, but the info is accurate that is on there)

I hope eventually he gets into the HoF, he truly deserves it.

if there is one player that when he wasn't playing with the Spurs, i admired and really liked was Robert Horry... i even started a thread because i was feeling sort of guilty before buying a Flakers #5.. he is one of the Players that made me watch some painful moments as a spur that despite as whottt said he never was a spur killer, his D would be there though...

Robert Horry just need to surpass this first round of the players and he is a LOCK in the HOF... book it

2005 Game5 had Robert not only hitting the 3 and that amazing dunk, but also scoring something like 17 points in the 4th qtr + OT. An incredible contribution that put the Spurs up 3-2 with 2 games left @ATT. iow, he pretty much won the 5th game and le single-handedly.

Actually, 21pts in 17 minutes (4th Q and OT).

As for the dunk, what I found incredible was that: 1) Rob drove! 2) he went left and blew by his man 3) he leaped way too early and somehow stretched out to dunk it like he did. Then, with a strained shoulder, the guy still drained the game winner.

One of the great clutch performances of all time.

"I think what I've done has been pretty good," Horry said. "It hasn't been great, but it's been pretty good. And I've been a great teammate. I've always respected my teammates. I think if you asked every teammate I every played with, I think they loved me as a teammate. And if you ask any coach I've played for, they've loved me as a player, except for maybe Danny Ainge. But other than that, I think I was respected by my teammates and my peers and by my coaches and by the fans that I played for."

One last person for Horry to punk before he calls it quits.

Nice read. Thanks for posting it timvp.

The Kings never got over that shot, I wasn't surprised that the article came out of Sacramento.

It's one of my favorite moments in basketball.
If you were watching that game, which I was, you never forgot it.

i second that

Horry's place in NBA history is already well-defined. He's so unique as "Big Shot Rob".

I often wonder whether Horry's ups & downs in his life & career, e.g. got traded by Houston, frustrated act of throwing towel to Sun's coach, given up by the Lakers as 2003 Playoffs against the Spurs, having a seriously ill daughter etc, influence his at ude on the court. When you think you have nothing more to lose in your life, it's easier to take those critical 3-point shots.
