Robert Horry - Big Shot Rob: A Champion for the Ages

[312Msade2]

will smith :|

[Veyronp87]

most underrated player of all time.....

[samtheman7975]

miami needs him

[28Naufal]

The ONLY non-celtic that has 7 or more rings. He is a great player. sadly he is very underrated.

[JPIZZLL1]

With out role playerd thered no ring nuff said. Miami lost cuz no role players. Dallas wins cuz they got a bunch. Marion. Barrea. Terry. Etc.

[MagicGonza91]

Will Smith has 7 NBA rings????

[stevechen1991]

Most underated champion and the greatest role player of ALL TIME!!!hes soo dam clutch,miami should sign him hahahah

[WeStSiDeBL00DZ1]

He couldve went back to the Lakers as a free agent after the 07-08 season.. But decided to retire.

[TheDignam]

Like Finley said he has been lucky to play with Olajuwon, Drexler, Shaq, Kobe, Dunca, Ginobili.. But it's not a hasard if he has been always with Champions Teams.

[troyiscute123]

bill russel has more

[myPAINisSELFchosen85]

just for the record dick vitale SLAMMED the lakers for taking bynum over sean may and orlando for taking dwight over omeka okafor. is sean may even in the league anymore?

[myPAINisSELFchosen85]

im a lakers fan and when he hit that game winner against the pistons i cheered like it was my goddamn son out there the single time in spurs history i had a heartfelt cheer for those bastards

[siggascation]

more titles doesn't mean anything. he was on stacked teams the whole time. though i do agree that he is a great man when crunch time comes, it still doesn't put him in the top 200 all time.

[davidhwalton]

We are all sharing in your pain, Robert. God bless you in this time of sorrow.

[Stanley81]

"i still got the article in my mommas house"...lmao......Robert Horry=Clutch

[hahahahahahahaha]

one of the greatest clutch spot up shooters, but dont mention his name with jordan, bird, magic its insulting. hes a ROLE PLAYER! he was never a major peace of any team

[htspassion18]

He's clutch but it's insulting to consider him in the HOF. I only say this because I've heard it mentioned a couple of times. He's just been at the right place at the right time.

[ahjrome]

@htspassion18 he just been at the right place at the right? Really? There's no way he can always be at the right place at the right time. Give the man his credit. He may not be a good a player as jordan, bird, magic and etc. But he's as good a clutch shooter as all of them

[CoolerKing37]

Dick Vitale is always a cunt.

[folumb]

@mcgowa1, are you serious? How can you deny that Big Shot Bob Horry is not a clutch player? What the hell qualifies as a clutch player in your eyes if Robert Horry is JUST a shooter? It is one thing to be a "known" shooter, but a whole other conversation to be a clutch performer, to come up big in situations where guys with lesser will, not talent, would choke.

[mcgowa1]

@folumb yall don't understand what clutch is. Just because time is winding down and he makes a jumper (now check this out..with NO ONE on him) WTF do you think is going to happen. His ONLY job is to shoot 3s! He shoots them 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th quarter. He doesn't pull a MJ from the foul line, or Magic with the hook to win. He simply shoots a jump shot wide open. That my friend is not.....clutch.

[onblock7]

@mcgowa1 Clutch is a few things, but how many have the knack to hit shot after shot under that pressure? FEW DO! Some shoot well all year long and when the time comes in the playoffs or a huge game they miss it and freeze up! Some have that knack some do NOT! HORRY had that IT! If I want a last shot I want this guy taking it. His job was to shoot threes yes, but he did other clutch tthings if you watched him, he played some great D and did little things like draw charges etc.

[TheDignam]

In a word, RESPECT

[hirpaguy]

part of me wants to believe that he was better than Jordan and just lulled his opponents into complacency before the Strike!

[lawquiet314]

Horry was great in the clutch don't get me wrong but besides that he didn't really do much he got lucky and went to teams who were title contenders here's his stat line for his career

7.0 PPG

.9 BPG

1.0 SPG

4.8 RPG

Not very good numbers.

[wruss43]

@lawquiet314

And then you think about how 2 or 3 of his championship teams probably would not have won a ring without him and his clutch shots. Personally, I think that speaks VOLUMES for his game.

[DaRulleZzZ]

you want to be champion?find guys like robert horry.."whisper" they don't exist

[rjkennedy98]

i totally remember that 2002 playoff shot like it was yesterday. I was 10.

[jromani09]

@rjkennedy98 dude same here, that moment will probably always remain in my mind

[rusTITOrus]

he wasn't good.....he just knew how to pick a correct team.....

[mr313biggz]

People don't want to admit that Big Shot Bob is the BEST clutch shooter in NBA history. Better than MJ, Reggie Miller, Magic....all of them.

[onblock7]

@mr313biggz He is a f in beast!!!!!!!!!!

[mcgowa1]

@mr313biggz i hate to disagree because im a huge horry fan. but saying he's MORE clutch than MJ, Magic and those guys is crazy. True Horry made big shots but the Legends did it every year.

[AngelOlivo2]

@mcgowa1 what do you mean every year he has more rings than them

[mcgowa1]

@AngelOlivo2 Check this out replace Horry with ANY other decent 3 pt shooter and they would accomplish the same thing. Steve Kerr hit many big shots for the Bulls in the 90s and they won 6 championships. He's not "clutch". He and Horry are KNOWN shooters which means if he's open guess what? He's going to make it. Mike is clutch, Magic is clutch, Miller is clutch. Horry is simply a shooter

......when he's open.

[onblock7]

@mcgowa1 NO JUST SHOOTERS do not hit those shots he hit! Shooters dont do what he did against SAC or Detroit in 05, he had that extra in him that most do not have! He hit the shots all the time at the right time! SHOOTERS don't do that as much as he did! HE IS CLUTCH AS HELL, period!

[mcgowa1]

@onblock7 Tell me what makes him MORE clutch than those guys metioned before. That's my argument. Horry made BIG shots I didn't say that he didn't. But DUDE HE IS WIDE OPEN. I MEAN NO ONE IN SIGHT. Especially in the SAC game you metioned (HE WAS JUST STANDING AT THE TOP OF THE KEY WIDE OPEN) and DET (WIDE OPEN). Imagine somebody like Peja Stojakovic, Chauncey Billups, Kyle Korver, EVEN JAMES POSEY!!! Switch them with Horry...same results. Horry is shooting practice jumpshots...no one is there!!

[onblock7]

@mcgowa1 Peja missed a ton of shots in that game 7 vs. LA when they needed them, froze up! I would say thats a big game, bad example there bro. James Posey is a good choice, he is Horry like in ways. Billips is mr Big shot! However, look at the top 60 playoff moments on here and HORRY has a few of them! I would say that counts for something. Put Horry in a big game situation and he ignites.

BTW look at GAME 5 against Detroit again, that layup he did and dunk were CLUTCH!

[mcgowa1]

@onblock7 My definition of cluth- a person that EVERYONE knows is going to get the rock to take the last shot, and there's NOTHING you can do because THAT person will make the shot or PASS to give his team the win. Horry NEVER created his own shot in those "Big Shot Rob" moments. You CANNOT deny that. He benefitted by being a good shooter on GREAT teams, with even GREATER players.

His opponents were worried about Hakeem, Kobe, Duncan, Parker, Shaq....because THEY WERE CLUTCH!!!!!

I'm done.

[onblock7]

@mcgowa1 Still some can be clutch all year and miss that shot he makes! That is all I am saying there, he had the shot go down when you needed it! Something of magic at times, if you look some were coverered well!

[AllEyesOnMe08]

Dick Vitale is a fagget. Dosent no shit.

[Vct0r]

Robert Horry is the definition of "Clutch"

[akroe987]

I qive it too him that hee has 7 rinqs but 2 camee from him beinqq on the bench?

[Junkosei]

doesn't matter if he isn't the best player in the playoffs... a Champion is a Champion.

[boamuro]

He reminds me of Will Smith... they look like brothers.

[McReins]

@boamuro I disagree... big time

[Silvoleon]

horry is a weird player. he's only good when he needs to be.

[GRiMxSG]

@Silvoleon that's all that matters

[IRVINGTONTS]

as a spurs fan i hated horry's guts when he played for the lakers and rockets but when he came  to us i loved him to death

[onblock7]

@IRVINGTONTS YES and he missed on HUGE ONE against us in 03 in game 5!!!!!!! Man seriously he helped us then and even here later! I LOVE THIS DUDE!

[DineroSaTown]

@IRVINGTONTS lol of course, cause he was givin us big shot and big wins! (: too bad hes not with us anymore... he was great.

[unddawg95]

He will always be my sixth men off the bench cause this guy was Clutch!Clutch!Clutch!

[HorryForTheWinYES]

yea im the best clutch player ever!

[arvincas]

This guy gets the job done.. He's a killer in the playoffs..

[4JayeP]

Big shot Rob !!!!!!!!! Hall of Fame even tho he was the laziest clutch shooter in history! Kinda cruised through the regular season then become a MONSTER during the playoffs and Finals!

[TheRatedIX7]

@4JayeP He said it himself that he played better in the playoffs cause he gets more time to rest and heal inbetween games. Yeah he cruised through the regular season but he turned it on when it counts and that's in the playoffs. LeChoke James could learn a thing or two from Big Shot Rob

[G0000MBA]

big shot rob not bob motherfuckers!

[MedicalPhysicist08]

HOF'er IMO.

[thefilmjock]

A much as i hated rob for killing the kings in that series he's a pretty cool guy.

[HALFTIME552]

ITS AMAZING HOW THE OTHER TEAM KNOWS ROBERT HORRY SOO GOOD IN THE CLUTCH BUT THEY STILL LEAVE THEM OPEN.......HMMM?

[MegaJf16]

hall of famer

[GunGemini]

Why is it always Suns fans......

[jamalharlequin]

one of the best!!!

[mrbig1ism]

its funny how horry is underatted but lebron is overatted... 

[george2648]

1 of my fav players of all time u just gotta love ROBERT HORRY

[vampirehippie]

amazing

[MrNgcheukhei]

the greatest moment in basketball history!

[YawningBoy]

i think he looks really young for his age

[TheDignam]

His SHOT against KINGS in 2002, a CLASSIC FOR AGES !

[oneman91]

If K.C Jones made the Hall of Fame averaging freakin 7 PPG then Robert Horry should get in easily

[HorryForTheWinYES]

greatest clutch players of all time : 5. larry bird 4. jordan 3. kobe 2. miller\allen 1. Horry

[Mojazz16]

@HorryForTheWinYES you kiddin right? placing kobe on top of jordan? what are you smokin' man?

[HorryForTheWinYES]

@Mojazz16 Kobe is clutch and has been playing with a broken finger on his shooting hand and still hits his shots. So yea Kobe over Jordan you know I smoke that kush and I ball like swoosh

[Mojazz16]

@HorryForTheWinYES Kobe needs more to prove himself as being clutch... Doing those clutch shot in regular season is one thing but the real clutch shot always took in the playoffs and finals. Now, if you think kobe can really top that, you gets back to me, ok!

[HorryForTheWinYES]

@Mojazz16 Alright you got me in playoffs and finals Jordan couldn't be touched but at the end of the game I'd much rather give the ball to Kobe then mj then have Kobe kick it out to horry

[Mojazz16]

@HorryForTheWinYES LMAO, now that would make sense... lol

[Andres247ish]

7 is alot..

if anything, horry brought lots of good luck to teams

[syfon33]

didnt bill russell have like 9 rings?

[NewsPaperTV101]

he had 11 rings

[JesseDaniels17]

thanks

[kbrennan91]

ahaha michael finley says it best "also he had guys like duncan, shaquel, and olajuwon to help him get those rings" without riding on the backs of those bigger stars, horry does nothing. and how the hell can you call him a class act? did you not watch what he did to steve nash in that western finals game? ya that was really classy

[mrjx3]

robert horry was a great player

[3376855]

I saw this live on nba fastbreak

[skinnysumei]

ye who are u?

suns fan?

[brahmabullc]

Horry for president! a fuckin legend

[TheLAKERSareGodsTeam]

It's "Big Shot Bob" you stupid monkeys.

[nicokb8]

big shot rob

[OcSlayer45]

Robert Horry is a Champion

[frusionnn]

Robert Horry is definitely one of the best champions ever, BUT he is nowhere near being as good as Michael Jordan even though he has 7 and Jordan has 6. more rings does not necessarily make a player better than somebody else.

[marinomandf]

robert horry es mejor que jordan en títulos asi que ya no llores compá... jejejeje

[frusionnn]

...translate that in english (ingles) =|

[ShootAAppleOffMyHead]

yup plus bill rusell had 11

[frusionnn]

yUp (AMAZING)

[TheLAKERSareGodsTeam]

Which is why Bill Russell is better than Jordan. I hate to say it because I am jordans biggest fan.

[frusionnn]

no he's not a better player than Jordan. because everybody (almost everybody) calls Michael Jordan the G.O.A.T. not Bill Russell. even though B.R. is certainly top 5 in my opinion

[TheLAKERSareGodsTeam]

Consensus doesn't make it a fact.

[frusionnn]

it's more than consensus

[TheLAKERSareGodsTeam]

what is it then?

[frusionnn]

...cold hard facts

[TheLAKERSareGodsTeam]

What makes it a fact?

[frusionnn]

Jordan's airness pretty much. and he was the greatest fundamental player ever

[TheLAKERSareGodsTeam]

That's just your opinion.

[frusionnn]

and also a fact

[TheLAKERSareGodsTeam]

Then you are special. YOu are the only person in the world who's personal opinion becomes fact.

[frusionnn]

no im not special. however, I do wish I was as special as MJ (G.O.A.T.)

[TheLAKERSareGodsTeam]

Excuse me, this is a basketball discussion. Leave your personal admiration for pedophiles like Michael Jackson out of it.

[frusionnn]

haha, you're real dumb. MJ = Michael Jordan not Michael Jackson

[TheLAKERSareGodsTeam]

Jordan himself referred to Michael Jackson as MJ in the "Jam" video he did for Michael Jackson.

LMAO!

[buzzcola12]

right place right time

[letario]

Big shot Rob with a big time triple!!!!!!!!

[housebanks22]

top 5 clutch all time...

[JDev82]

top 5

reggie

rick barry

robert horry

tim duncan

kobe

[Baldwin009]

jordan?

[turds512]

Jerry "Mr. Clutch" West?

[agen703]

tim?

what about r.wallace from the pistons?

[JDev82]

hes up there but top 5? thats ludicrous.

[kulastheman]

kerr :D not top five but also reliable

[JustDoIt2874]

mj is no. 1. period.

[shlobs422]

you're missing the point. No one is saying horry is better than jordan. It's just a piece highlighting what a great champion horry is, as perhaps one of the greatest clutch shooters to ever play. Horry is definately one of my favorite players.

[ShootAAppleOffMyHead]

what about jordan or west wdf tim duncan he has never hit a game winner in the play -offs no not a buzzer beater but not even a game winner

[JDev82]

west? good god, man,learn what the fuck you're talking about

[ShootAAppleOffMyHead]

jerry west was one of the most clutch players ever hes name is "mr clutch" youre a fucking idiot

[riverahitthis]

most underrated veteran in the game

[T0mmyPL]

I think he's one of the best veteran players right now and if David West can't tak a little bump... i don't think he sould be playing... think about that

[farfallepizzaz]

Shame on SA? Shame on N.O. They're so cheap they had to "BOOO!!!" the whole game, every game that SA had the ball. Pretty pathetic and lame but obviously the only chance the have to win.Real classy! I can say so much right now but I'll let it go. And about west, Obviously you are blind or need to watch the video. Horry was posted up to begin with..He doesn't even move.West JUMPED into him. Hes nothing but an actor and a puss! If you want to bring up CHEAP, chandler randomly pushed parker to....

[jay78251]

Love him or hate him Robert Horry is one of the best clutch players in playoff history!

[ytflip]

he's a "cheap shot" rob now....

[trickpanda]

whatever. he's one of the oldest players in the nba and he's never been known to be a cheap player. playoffs are intense and he was just being a strong defender.

[scg210]

Ohh shit!!! i was first

[scg210]

BIG SHOT BOB!!!BEST TEAM PLAYER EVER!

[edscottable]

@scg210 pippen is the best team player ever.
