    I haven't posted in a while, but I thought this was worth sharing...

    So, my wife and I were at the 24 Hour Fitness near our house where I typically shoot around on the court to warm up. Low and behold, Robert Horry walks in with his son/nephew and starts shooting on the goal next to me.

    He was there to coach his son/nephew on jump-shot basics. When he took a break, I went up to him and asked him how the coaching thing was going, and we got to talking. I mentioned something about getting better lateral quickness, and he even showed me a drill on how to improve on that.

    After it was all said and done, he took a picture with my wife and 'chucked a deuce' at me as I left the court (I think he even gave my wife a wink as he left the gym).

    All and all, a pretty cool day at the gym when you can get some basketball tips from a guy that's been part of seven (7) championship teams :)

    Yup, Every time I see him, the first thing I see is his stomach. Dudes eating very well.

    He needs to put on all his rings so he can use them as weights when he walks around.

    Have met Horry a few times here in SA. Overall a really cool dude. Loves the late night club scene. Really approachable. Glad you had a good experience.
