For Old Time’s Sake: Big Shot Rob

Robert Horry has 7 NBA Championships. Yes, more than Mike, more than 99% of those who have come through the NBA. However, Big Shot Rob earned his nickname for a reason… you leave him open in the final moments of a close game, forget about it, you might as well head to the locker room before the ball hits the net. Horry had an unbelievable ability to shine during a game’s most pivotal moments and he played a BIG part in all of the championship runs he was a part of. Whether he was scoring in bunches with Houston as a youngster or hitting clutch Js in LA and San Antonio, he always got it done. He never lit up the stat sheet for a full season and his best season statistically was comprised of rather pedestrian numbers: 12 pts, 5.8 rbs, 4 asts as a member of the Rockets in ’95-’96. At the end of the day, Chips are what matters and Rob got 7 of them in 16 seasons. RESPECT.

    Simmons is a good way to pass time when there’s no real news. Kinda like reading tabloids instead of real news.

    MikeC: So you’re going to move each Celtics up five to ten spots in your pyramid?

  • MikeC.

    Not that far bro. I’d probably try to sneak Oakley and Starks into level 3 though. Based on awsomeness and badassedness.

    Look at the stats, people.
    Jukai is 27.5% more likely to oppose an argument than what Mikec is, but MikeC’s agreement ratio is over 121%. anyone who compares the statistics of those two are an idiot, and Wilt would have certainly done it better than LeBron.

    If there was a HOF for posting on SLAM, I’d be first f*cking ballot.
    Eboy would be a Bernard King like snub for doing too much coke.

    Nah Jukai, you be Christian Laettner and only get into the HOF riding 14 other players’ coattails.

    he’s not really ‘at the right place at the right time’.. that’s what devean george and morrison were.. there’s a reason why these championship teams had horry.. he’s that final piece to a chip-squad.. kind of like when sheed went detroit.. he’s that pistol in your ankle holster.. you’re not lucky you have it.. it’s more that the teams knew they’d need him after they used all their big guns..

    HOF?.. i’m a laker fan.. so as a fan, i appreciate horry a great deal.. but he didn’t have a hall of fame career.. he played huge roles on his squads.. but he, as an individual, wasn’t a hall of fame player.. if he’s to be HOF.. cooper, avery johnson, b.scott, s.cassel.. and so on.. there are countless of role players that helped dynasties.. however.. you can’t look at him and not respect 7 rings.. that he can say helped to get each one.. he wasn’t just cruising along for the ride.. he earned each one.. should he be in the HOF?.. no.. but he should be on every ballot and get a few votes every year.. if any of his teams are inducted.. he should be giving some mic time..
