Hey guy's, I live in LA and I had a chance to see a lot of local coverage of the championship celebration. The Fred Roggin Show is the regional NBC Laker post game show. Anyways, after the game Fred had a chance to interview Horry and jock his Five Rings. He asked Horry what his favorite championship was. Horry went on to say, "You really hate to say it, but i think 95.... we were the 6th seed and nobody thought we could win again." It was short and to the point, but it made so proud.
Horry is still a Rocket at heart. That's how he hits all those big shots, still has that "Clutch City" touch.
Yeah I saw that interview too. He said the way (the Rockets) came out of the six seed and one it all it was hard to top that. Roggin was hoping Horry would talk about one of the Lakers Championships but Horry said it like, "I know you want me to say it was the Lakers but I cannot tell a lie, the 95 Championship with the Rockets was the sweetest of them all." Roggin tried to blow it off and quickly switched the subject to Horry's big shot. But there's no denying it, Horry loved the 95 Rocket's championship the best. Horry's my man. I would like to see him end his career with us.
Yeah, to me Horry and Cassel will be Rockets at heart. Don't they still even live in Houston? It's hard to hate Robert when he makes those big shots. I always say thats he learned playing in clutchcity. It would be nice to see both of them retire Rockets.
That is why Nevada Bob 'the Houston Horror' Horry is my favorite Lakers of ALL TIME!! Hated to see him leave. Rocket River
Mad Max, et al, I agree that 95 was the high point for me in pro sports, an incredible run. Robert Horry was one of my all time favorite Rockets. Remember when his selection in the draft was booed in the arena. Didn't most people want Miner? Remember Horry's clutch threes? They always seemed to come at critical moments in games. He is still at it!
I must admit i was one of the people boooing when the Rocket drafted Horry cause i wanted them to draft Miner. And when i found out he went to Alabama i thought we drafted another Buck Johnson
Ah man Horry is pretty cool. Remmeber when he hurt his ankle in game 4 against the Magic? He can back in limping in nailed the coffin shut with a huge 3-pointer!!!! Will Smith....uh I mean Robert Horry will always be a Rocket by heart!!!!
i admit it as well... i REALLY wanted baby jordan out of USC on the Rockets roster... I was like "who the hell is this fool!" i'm ashamed.
Horry: Yeah, my favorite championship was in '95 when we beat the s*** out of Shaq. Shaq: Robbie, what did you just say? Horry: {sweating} uhh...uh....I was just talking about how you beat the s*** out of Dream a few years ago. Shaq: I thought that's what you said. I don't feel like beating you up and taking your lunch money right now. I'm glad people are giving me my props.
