Most clutch role player EVER

[@EliteMoments916]

@@yusufabdullah5008& it’s not even Close!! Lakers had 2 of the greatest, clutch role players. Horry & Fisher

[@huntergabriel8875]

They dont call him big shot bob for nothing

[@alecsanderhamilton9224]

That said, he was never any better than the third guy on any team he won with and he was usually the fourth or fifth guy. Rick Fox and Derek Harper or Horace Grant or Glen Rice or Ron Harper in Los Angeles were as or more valuable or played more minutes ... In Houston Otis Thorpe and Clyde Drexler were the no. 2's and Vernon was arguably 3rd guy or 2nd guy in 94... Interchangeably with OT. After Clyde in 95, I'd argue Horry was third guy sure. Especially as the progenitor stretch 4 come that postseason in '95 when the PF was such a valuable position in the 1995 playoffs with Horace, Dennis, Barkley, Kukoc, K. Malone... It kind of decided the 95 Championship after the Centers of Robinson and Olajuwon and SHAQ and Smits and Ewing... Horry never averaged more than 10 ppg after Houston for a season. With the Lakers he averaged 6-7 ppg. That's crazy!!!! He was a truly non dribbling Scottie Pippen... He played quiet Pippen position. He didn't set up offenses, lead the break... He made hustle plays, he hit open shots off swingarounds, he got points off of loose balls, tip dunks etc. He was about 1 steal 1 block a game. He wasn't Pippen, he wasn't Magic. He was long, tall, and serviceable. An in the cut assassin... He's an odd all time player. He was almost traded like 3x in Houston... In 94 for Sean Elliot... In 95 you had to think they offered him up for Drexler instead of Thorpe at first... Houston probably just told Portland Drexler is too old @ 19-20 ppg now for Horry, this isn't 1992 anymore! Horry would have been a nice Blazer from 95-98 or further into the 2000's but I'm sure he would have been moved before 99 or 2000 and possibly sooner. Horry was a tweener. A nice piece 🧩 not a no. 2, hardly a no. 3 but a 3b, 3c, 3d, 4, 5, 6, 7th guy... But he in Portland with Clifford Robinson from 95-97 or so... Horry had Kersey elements to his game... Harvey Grant elements. But Houston luckily kept him for Houston fans sake cuz Drexler, Smith, Elie and Cassell and Chilcutt definitely needed Horry to stretch 4 and guard Malone & Barkley and stretch Rodman out of the paint. That said, when Horry played Karl Malone in 97 & 98 with Los Angeles he got his ass handed to him.. And in San Antonio I mean, he was definitely after Parker, Bowen, Ginobili and their other others that ran thru brick 🧱 walls for Duncan and Pop. Horry would have been a nice Mav or HeaT in 05-07... Too bad. I could have used a couple different champions in there besides San Antonio... Their dynasty disagrees with my palette 🎨

Love Big Shot Rob adjusting his game to every team and no surprise he has 7 rings.

[@Davivd2]

I love Big Shot. He's the greatest clutch role player of all time. Everyone knows about the game winning 3's, but Big Shot hit so many clutch shots inside 2 minutes that stopped teams from getting close or put the game out of reach. Not only that, but like he says here; he didn't get respect for his defense. This guy would chase every rebound in crunch time or find a way to get a block. It's awesome to see Big Shot on All The Smoke.

Normally don't watch the whole episode of these and skip parts but when I saw Big Shot Bob I had to watch the whole thing. Besides multiple championships on three different teams he was basically a historian being a part of so many great teams. Some of my best childhood memories was Horry hitting those big shots vs the kings and spurs. The ending was beautiful with grown ass men giving each other their flowers. Thanks for this. 👏💯

this dude horry is the luckiest player in nba history played with so many all time greats,played for the 2 greatest coaches in nba history and won 7 rings as a role player a role player winning that many rings is never happening again but he's the goat role player without a doubt

[@jamesjones406]

He's not a great role player. He was a great all around basketball player.

[@danielcancel2901]

I wouldn’t cal it luck, I would call it him being a great player overall. He was a smart fundamentally sound player that can play defense as well and do the little things other stars don’t like doing. That wins championships, and the only way rob was that good was cuz he worked his ass off to do all those things. Great Coaches that know how to win saw that and got him. There’s a reason the spurs went after him after 2004, and the mavs and heat wanted him too. He was drafted to Houston to complete a championship team, and the lakers got him to complete a championship team too. Dude was a valuable player. He was like a great stretch 4 that can play d and get rebounds. Similar to a what 3 and d players are today

[@sculluhlakoo]

All those stars he played with that won rings, without question, would say that they were lucky to play with him!
