    Im thinking that when someone says "how good was Horry in his prime?" and you answer like Lamar Odom, that means you think they have similar games or stats...But neither is true..... ...you brought up "impact"...Eddie House has similar "impact" if thats how you're doing a comparison of Horry in that regard...

    Eddie House can't change a game defensively like Odom/Horry nor can he create his own shot.

    Did you see a prime Horry play? When did you start watching the Rockets?

    Horry in Houston was no more than a slasher/finisher on offense along wiith three pt shooting of course. He had no where near the ofensive impact that Odom brings when he's on his game. Bob never developed any handles which would have made his game more comparable to Pippen. I hoped every offseason that he'd worked on his dribble to improve like how Dream brought new wrinkles to his game every season. He didnt therefore he never was able to create his own shot. That being said he was a beast on defense when motivated and brought a ton of intangibles/match-up problems to the table once the calendar turned to April. I hated to see him go.
