yes we should retire his number, regardless if other teams do so as well.
Without Horry's big shot against the Pistons, the Spurs would be battling for its third trophy this year instead of its fourth!
How in the did Calvin Murphy make the Hall of Fame? He was an all-star once.
How can freaking Calvin Murphy and his 4.4 assist per game average in a 120-ppg era be in there over a far better point such as Kevin Johnson? KJ's career average is 18 and 9, and he had a season of 22.5 and 11.4 and another of 20 and 12.

We should only retire #5 for Horry if they do it in a co-ceremony to honor Billy Paultz. All hail the Whopper!!!

I would not mind the Spurs retiring Horry's jersey if he helps the Spurs win another championship. W/out him, the Spurs don't win the whole thing in 2005.
He was very important to the Rockets and Lakers when they won the championship. He was obviously important to the Spurs in '05 and has been very important to the Spurs so far in '07. If the guy wins another ring, he has to be considered as a Hall of Famer. The guy would have more rings than Michael Jordan. He doesn't come close to Jordan when it comes to stats, but its not like Horry was at the end of the bench those years he was a part of a championship.
If we're retiring numbers for clutch playoff shots made as a Spur, I guess Jaren Jackson's #2 has to go up in the rafters.
Robert Horry should not have his jersey retired.
Retiring Johnny Moore's was already absurd enough.
The discussion of Avery Johnson is equally silly.
At some point, San Antonio is going to have to stop acting like a small town in the middle of nowhere with regard to its basketball team, and realize that the Spurs are among the premier franchises in the league, and that the standard for hanging numbers in the rafters should be very high.
They don't hang division championship banners anymore, do they? They have gone above and beyond, and so must we. The grounds for entry should be a minimum of seven years with the Spurs, and at least one All-Star appearance. Those criteria should not be guarantees, but rather just a starting point for discussion.
I don't want to hear this, "But we're the fans, and we want to see them retired because we liiiiiiiike them." Go suck your thumb. There are standards to uphold here. The Spurs are elite. Be elitist.
At least James Silas was one of the two or three best guards in the ABA during his prime.
No.
Fair enough argument... what about HOF credentials? Does Horry qualify in your book?
No.
The HOF has several categories. Some are there for the sake of political correctness.
NBA players have to be among the immortals to get in.
Horry is not an immortal.
Just because they let in one joker doesn't mean they have to open the floodgates.
Retire 5 WHEN we get 5!!!!
I started this thread before this series began in hopes of another Big performance from Horry to persuade the naysayers to change their minds. Well hopefully this was not it. Personally I don't think the foul was as hard as Nash made it seem. He flopped like he had been shot and then suddenly jumped up and tried to get at Horry. Well anyway I for one want to beat a team at full strength and disagree with the suspensions and hopefully the Spurs will move on and Horry will get a chance to redeem himself.
they should retire his jersey.... he single handedly just gave them the upper hand in this series
