    I know, video quality is poor. But I still remember watching this game, so many amazing shots and such a classic battle. Vernon had a very unique ability to make the impossible, possible.

    One of Rob Horry's more underrated skills was as an inbounds passer with someone in his face. That's not the best example, but still...

    Things may have changed, but a resurgence is possible.

    I just miss how loud and crazy the summit use to be. Toyota center is a mortuary in comparison.

    Speaking of, young Robert Horry would be the absolute perfect stretch 4 in today's NBA.

    He and Rudy T in '95 were 2 decades ahead of the curve.

    There really aren't very many players like Horry even today. At 6'10 he was so balanced and could really give you anything you needed. Maybe Nic Batum or Draymond?

    Sam Perkins was the first Horry. He came long before and really changed the game.

    icymi: this is the 50th Anniversay Tribute video. But it doesn't have that shot. I'm sure tinman has a better quality video of the OP game winner, if there is one out there
