    He did a lot more than that, especially earlier in his career. The Rockets, Lakers, and Spurs each have at least one fewer championship without Horry.

    i guess you don't understand my point. PPl shouldn't go to the hall for being role players. what about yao ming then? what about steve kerr. if you include horry, there are so so many players who could say they should go there. That's why he's not there.

    Yao Ming was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2016.

    Steve Kerr was not as impactful a player as Horry. He was only a shooter.

    Fair enough. If it were up to me, I’d love to put every Rocket from the 94-95 Championships in the HOF!

    Horry has a unique case for the Hall because he was arguably the third most important player on the back-to-back Rockets champions, THEN went on to play a similarly important role on 5 more Championship teams! Elie was great, but he didn’t do that. It’s the quantity and ability to impact so many different great teams that stands out.

    I think Charles Barkley feels the same way

    We wouldn’t have beaten Seattle. Of course, then we couldn’t beat Utah

    He should be in the role player hall of fame not the basketball hall of fame.

    It’s the other way around. Horry has them to thank for his rings.

    This is highly debateable.
