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.
