Alright, this guy has been on five different championship teams and teams that he has not won with have gone deep in the playoffs (Houston, Phoenix, Lakers, San Antonio). Granted he's never been 'the man' on any of those teams and all the teams were real good but the question I pose is this: Is this guy one of the greatest team players of the last decade or so or has he just benefitted from being in the right place at the right time? He's obviously not Hall of Fame caliber (his numbers can't back up that claim) but he's been a consistently good player on great teams over the course of his career. He seems to hit the big shots when called upon and plays an all around great game with limited mistakes. He is a leader on the court as well. It seems that every year during playoff time, this guy does some great things. Thoughts?

i couldnt agree more....big game robert, he always hits a clutch three it seems


alot of people point to shaq leaving as the sole reason that the lakers are camped in the shitter for years to come, but players like horry, fox and fish contributed more to that team than anyone comes close to giving them credit for

He was deadly last night.

funny you posted this... i was thinking about this last night, but i was kind of wondering how many titles the guy had?... did he play for houston when they won the two MJ-less titles?... 3 for the Lake Show?... was he with san antonio two years ago?... no need to ask about phoenix

5 in total, 3 from the lakeshow, 2 from the dreamshow

and while in phoenix he did have the infamous towlegate, where he was pulled from the game and threw the towel in dannys face

he certainly has a knack for hitting huge shots in big games.

and people forget how athletic he was when he first came into the league.
the guy could pretty much dunk from just inside the foul line in game situations.

I always liked this guy

true, but take role players on championship away from star players and they often become mediocre players.

Loved him on the Rockets. He used to dunk on fools all the time.

I've hated him ever since though...but that's only because of the teams he has been on...I hate those TEAMS. He's a great player.

Horry and Steve Kerr

the luckiest sons'a'bitches in the world

Right place, right time.

horry is the man.

I thought about starting a Robert Horry = Superstar? thread last night to play around.

Obviously, he's not, but he is what crownofthorns just said--a guy that I'd love to have on my team.

Robert Horry
Dennis Rodman

Add to the list... Steve Kerr is not on the list, sorry.

he played at Alabama..so i like him

Horry and Kerr

Make (made) big shots when they counted the most.

I was talking to my buddy about this last night. He has had as good a career championship wise as anybody. He has done well for himself!

I agree.

i will never forget the 02' western conference finals, horry three pointer at the top of the key at the buzzer
