ROBINSON WITH THE REBOUND IT WAS IN, AND, OUT!
Me too. "Back to Horry for 3" will always hold a special place in my heart.
But Rob has never really been appreciative of his time on the Spurs. We helped him get 2 rings in 5 years (which obviously weren't happened with the Lakers in that stretch) and he never averaged more than 7PPG here.
Granted, he did have to experience '04 and '06...perhaps the Spurs 2nd and 3rd most bitter playoff flameouts...although this year has entered as a new challenger with Kawhi going down.
Either way, I believe he is exaggerating with his comments here...but it still doesn't jive well with me. Obviously, Duncan rivals Hakeem, so there is no way that one was "20x" better than the other...and the late dig on Manu seems kinda bull from a guy who had one amazing game while he was in San Antonio compared to a guy who made a career of them.

He's just pointing out the obvious, tbh, that Manu was the other difference maker with Tim... makes sense... I can't think he's talking about Manu hurting his ankle in '08, tbh, he dragged his fat ass to the WCF in the first place...Not surprising, he's been publicly bitter about the way his Spurs' stint ended, tbh..he acts like he wasn't horrendous at the end of his careerinsufferable since rejoining the Lakers family..
He's correct that Pedolajuwon was a better scorer than Duncan, but his argument of 20x better because he was a superior FT shooter was predictably stupid..pretty typical of ex players, though..
I don't really understand his Manu comment..the Dirk foul, I'm assuming, but that was just 1 le run..
Role players talking about not getting carried enough.
He's just a bitter old got trying to stay relevant TBH.Role players talking about not getting carried enough.
I still remember the game where The Admiral held him to 6 points.
Dream > Duncan? Of course. Difference: Pop > Rudy tbh
How the do you miss the playoffs in your prime in a weak conference.
Olajuwon was a flamboyant scorer, great footwork. But did he will Rockets to championship? Nope. Even with the twin tower. Not until Jordan retired, and fizzled out to mediocrity when Jordan returned. And needed a Dream Team member Drexler to do it. Timmy and Co took down Shaq and Kobe on their prime, and LeBron twice and with his amazing friends. Come on. Timmy's game is "boring," but to basketball enthusiast it was effective. Timmy was 20 times better than the dream. But like McGrady, Iverson, Carter, etc. Those guys can score, but don't have what it takes to win at the highest level. Horry's an idiot!
I stopped watching after Horry said he could shut down Scottie Pippen, that's when I knew he was trolling. Horry couldn't guard a tree.
I wonder what Mario Elie has to say about it. Either way, he still didn't play with Timmy in '03. That would have been worth comparing.
And I don't get that about Manu. Let's say he's talking about the Dirk foul, that's one championship and that run doesn't have anything to do with Pierce (to whom he was adressing the commment to) since the Celtics weren't relevant in '06. I guess he could be talking about '08, but how is that Manu fault when he dragged his non-minutes getting ass to the WCF on one ankle, and lost to a clearly superior team?
This rubbish is not even worth commenting on.......total foolishness!! Tim = Beast....PERIOD
haha... why take this seriously, he's ing around, and Pierce called his ass out and he got defensive, which was funny.
Horry has always defended the team he was on during his prime.
didn't he say Rudy T was a better coach than Pop too?
These shots Horry fired are about as egregious as the one he fired at the end of game 5 in the 2004 Lakers series. Way off. And to think he was one of my favourite players while on the Spurs. What a piece of .
The only thing I will agree on is - we should have won 5 in a row (2004 and 2006 are ones where I still feel the Spurs were the best team and let them go), but that still only makes 9 Championships for him. I don't know where he's getting that 10th one from. Manu was too injured in 2008 to do anything, so unless that fat piece of Horry did his job and stopped being lazy and played to his potential, maybe we could have somehow won that series, but still not likely without a healthy Manu. If he's blaming Manu for being injured that year, then he's acting like a total wit.

This will sum up this whole conversation..
When players & fans are asked Who is the best center of all time: I don't believe you hear Hakeem's named mentioned, not even in the top 5 of his position. Now when same question asked who is the best Power Forward of all time 'their reply is Time Duncan...
''Mic drop!!
End of Story...
** I would like to point out that i am a Hakeem the dream fan, as the man abused my all time favorite player " the Admiral " in 94 or 95 playoff run. Robinson to me still had an overall better career than the Dream did..
End of Story.. Stephen J is still bitter about how things ended with him & the Spurs but the man still gives the Spurs respect and would be foolish enough to say that..

If Michael Jordon didn't retire, you will have 5 fewer rings..muahaha
Prime Euroleague Sabonis was 20× better than Olajuwon.
At the time Spurs won his last ring (2007) he said they were one of the greatest teams ever, even capable to beat the 80's Lakers teams.
Now this? Why? I tell you why
Around 2008 he was done and thought Spurs could give him one more year, then started flirting with playing for some team but it had to be in a warm state, went to Phoenix and it was lame.
Always proud of his 7 rings, but now feels diminished just like a super "ROLE PLAYER" while seeing Bowen getting his jersey retired and TP and Manu will have theirs, thats like the whole starting line up, who is missing and who will never have his jersey retired?
Same guy who says Rudy T was a better coach than Phil and Pop. Nothing more to see here. The criminal here is ESPN for giving him a platform...
a stats monkey of a friend sent me this
"Tim’s career FT% was 69.6 with a PER of 24.2.
Olajuwon’s was career FT% was 71.2, not 85% as Horry said. His PER was 23.6.
Tim’s WS (Win Shares) was 203.6 to 162.8 for Olajuwon. "
