    Horry should definitely go into the Hall. No one has consistently hit big shots like this guy over such a long period and I don't think anyone ever will.

    Someone said earlier that without horry many of his teams would not have won championships and I couldn't agree more. In our second championship run Horry was often tasked with guarding the other teams' 4 from what I remember. In that playoff run the 4's we faced were Malone, Barkley, Rodman, and Grant. :eek:

    Horry shut ALL OF THEM down...without him we don't win that second championship.


    (and without Mutombo we wouldn't have won our first...he was always a Rocket at heart :D )

    the stupid argument that he road 'coattails' was wrong. other teams tried getting 'shooters' since Robert was chillin in the regular season and they ended up suckers in playoffs.

    Who remembers Glen Rice on the Lakers? he hit... zero big shots. Horry hit all those big shots for the Lakers. Also the spurs vs rockets series. that game with Dream schooling robinson.. lets not forget, it was ROBERT HORRY who WON THAT GAME on the last possession shot.

    15 straight years making it past the 1st round of the playoffs.

    What a class act, he's been one of the greatest playoff performers in NBA history. And he has always been present, never missed a class!

    Hakeem from 97 to 98. :(

    Clyde was still a solid third option his last three years, and even led the team in scoring in 1998.
