Big Shot Bob: Welcome To The NBA Hall Of Fame Mr. Horry
Jun 16, 2007 | 11:21AM | report this

Seven NBA Championship rings sum it up. 

     x 7  Can You Dig It!!!!!!

Robert Horry is the only non-Celtic, circa 1960, to earn 7 rings.

        EQUALS ?         

A classic big body defender, Horry cemented his reputation for the big shots, and was appropriately nicknamed Big Shot Bob.

NBA Championships:

Rockets - 94, 95

Lakers   - 2000, 2001, 2002  (Three Peat was my idea, I swear!)

Spurs - 2005, 2007

The bad news for your team is that Horry isn't ready to retire.  Face the facts, we all want players like Robert on our teams.  There aren't enough to go around.

Robert Horry, Version 2007, will be remembered for his mad hockey skills, putting Steve Nash into the boards during the West Conference Finals. (Weeeeeeeeeeee! A Canadian amusement park ride)

In the 2007 playoffs, Horry averaged 20 minutes, was seen clogging the clogging the defensive lane, and made timely blocks.

Like most success stories, Horry's NBA Championships almost never happened.    Horry was in a package trade with Detroit for Sean Elliot, who didn't pass the team physical and the trade was terminated.  Horry stayed a Rocket.  Horry signed with the Lakers for their Three-Peat and saved plenty of games with clutch shooting.  This is when he received his nickname, Big Shot Bob. Horry signed with San Antonio after the 2003 Championship and has been a winner and comsumate team player.  The rest is now NBA folklore.

Trivia:  A certain show business star is uncle to both Robert Horry and Cavs center, Anderson Varejao.

         

  Knowing this trivia fact should win a few bar bets.

Statistics are a dangerous when handled by zealots. I believe Burnt Orange isn't a color, it's a disease. The DH rule should be elimintated. I like cats and dogs...cats taste more like chicken. Women are god's greatest creation. Barry Bonds was detrimental to sports. The month after the Super Bowl is sports HELL. March Madness is the best elongated sports extravaganza.
The Masters is great watching, in spite of Jim 'nancy boy' Nantz. Anyone spouting political commentary should be barred from this site. This is a sports blog! I need a soma. easy polls
