He has been dropping off pretty bad though the past 4 years. He shot 319 on the season with 257 behind the arc. He hasnt shot 400 since 04-05. Retirement might be a good idea now, his numbers are crashing and he has lost playing time. He only played to foul shaq most of the series.
This just shows that in team sports winning is grossly overrated as an indicator of a player's greatness. It amazes me how many people still use championships, playoffs series wins to judge a player's success. To win big, you have to be BOTH lucky AND good.
I wonder what would happen if T-mac, Grant Hill, and Robert Horry were on the same team. Would the universe implode?
regular season? stats? do you realize why Horry exists? did you see what he did to Detroit in the Finals? they pay him for saving the team in the playoffs. its not about stats. stats are for people who think we're gonna win a championship cause Juwan Howard averaged 17points a game before he came here. its about mojo and aura and heroes.
I was watching that finalks on a cruise ship and there were people from detroit on one side of this bar and alot of SA fans on the other. Some guy mentioned that Horry was soft and all he did was shoot 3's and just then he threw down a MONSTER dunk And1. it was pretty nice.
found it Dunk is at :52 <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/BZdik09RGJI&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/BZdik09RGJI&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>
I remember that game. Afterwards they interviewed Duncan and asked what happened late in the game and he just gave them a funny look and pointed at Horry. Well that's how I remember it at least
Horry did have that little run-in with Calvin Murphy's daughter. Fortunately, she was 23, not 13, but still, Horry immaturely refused to acknowledge paternity until ordered to do so - or something along those lines. But his NBA career has been pretty amazing. I think this is a cool factoid from his wiki page: Robert Horry and another clutch-shooting role player, Steve Kerr, alternated NBA Championships for a decade, and combined to win twelve championships over a fourteen-year period. Either Kerr or Horry was on the roster of every NBA Championship team from the 1993-1994 season through the 2002-2003 season. Horry's teams were victorious in the NBA Finals in 1994, 1995, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005 and 2007, while Kerr's teams were winners in the NBA Finals in 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999 and 2003. Each won three titles playing for Phil Jackson-coached teams and every other championship with a team from Texas, the Spurs or the Rockets.
