I have a huge problem with what your wrote here. You're overlooking the intangibles, the heart, the clutchness! It's no coincidence that he was on top so often! The man was a key part of the winning formula...

I'm talking, of course, about your snub of Nate Dogg. Who's this Horry cat you kept referring to?

the problem w/ fans against horry going into the hall of fame is that horry didn't get any attention until the twilight of his career- by then, he was less impressive to watch because he was older and less athletic. if you looked back on his rockets years, you'd see how much he brought to his team, and would not doubt he was a key contributor toward their championships.

yes, he played on great teams w/ star players, but that also meant he recorded less minutes, and therefore less box score numbers. we can worship big numbers all we want, but unless u watched horry hit those playoff shots, bringing more energy off the bench, and felt the emotion on both sides...u cannot gauge his worth. the energy he gives his teams and fans alone should put him in the hall of fame.

no, he wasn't a star player, but that was part of his personality- he was anything but flashy and didn't care for the spotlight. i remember when he was called for a foul in an important game, and he just laughed it off. that was the kind of player he was on the court. perhaps it is this laid-back attitude that makes him seem less believable as a star. he is probably the most underrated player of my time.

and finally, the biggest argument of all- yes, at least 3 championships were swung in horry's team's favour thanks to him. no doubt horry brought something to the game of basketball- jaw-dropping moments- again and again.

...and this is all said by a fan of webber's sacramento team in 2002.

When inducting players into the Hall, the voters usually look at how what you did during your era and your contributions to winning

that quote right there shows that Horry should definatley be in the Hall..."Contirbutions to winning" you take Horry contributions away from those 7 championship teams and there would be at least 3 where the team doesnt take the ship`.

hall of fame right there.

also derrick fisher a better player than horry...no chance not now not ever!

same deal with glenn rice at the lakers and michael finley at the spurs...

i know robert horry was much better than glen rice at the lakers. glen rice was much slower and injury prone then. he barely played.. enough to send him to the knicks where his career ended unfortunately.. when glen was in CHA he was amazing though..

What..no Q-Tip?

Robert Horry doesn't deserve to be in the Hall of Fame. Many seasons of his career he would dog it just about the entire regular season while his teammates busted their busted their ass. just because he hit a few big shots his lack of consistent play was swept under the rug. If you're going to be in the Hall of Fame you better have a CONSISTENT body of work which includes the regular season and the playoffs. The only thing Horry has shown is he can ride the backs of HOF big men (Hakeem, Shaq, and Duncan) and hit a big shot every now and then. That's not worthy of the Hall of Fame to me. When you see the players he's played with throughout his career is it any wonder he has 7 rings?
