Shit is absolutely hilarious.

That was strictly a bush league move and really lowered my opinion of him. Clutch player? yes

Great player? no

Hall of Famer? no

He was the ultimate role player and he would definitely 'throw it down' on your big man from time to time. Unless they come up with a "greatest role player" award, he won't get in but i'm pretty sure he'll get some votes. Dude has won 7 titles, 2nd only to Russell's 11. That's quite an accomplishment to say the least. mizz,

(LOL) Seriously though - I think Horry gets his props. Everyone that I've ever heard talk about him respects his game. In his prime, while he wasn't dominant, he did everything. He got rebounds, he blocked shots, he passed well, he made big steals (on the regular), he shot from outside and was fearless in driving to the hoop. That's the whole enchilada.

Man OVERBOARD!!!!! Mizzo!! Come back!!! Bird, Miller and Jordan absolutely hit as many big shots as Horry. Those were the guys who had the ball at the end of the shot clock and end of the game on very good teams. They won big regular season games, big playoff games and championships. Why do you think Dominique scored 47 and LOST? Bird was matching him shot for shot in the 4th quarter. Horry never did that. Remember Jordan putting Cleveland, New York, Detroit, Portland, Phoenix, Seattle and Indiana to sleep for 6 years? Unless you were BORN in 1999, there's simply no excuse. SNAP OUT OF IT!!!!! Man OVERBOARD!!!! Man OVERBOARD!!!!!

Of course the two you've mentioned were preeminent, but I've never seen anyone in my lifetime hit as many big game shots as Robert Horry. That includes Bird, Magic, Michael and Reggie. He needs to bottle that shit and start stackin'. Yeah but the cat hit the shots that most would have choked on, hence Barkley and Webber had their final legitimate chances dashed by number 5.
