[edit] Mr. October
Robert Horry is simply one of the greatest clutch shooters in NBA History, and keep in mind the fact that he is a "role player." Nobody talks about him during the season, but he's basketball's version of "Mr. October" once the playoffs are in full throttle. He's also known how to put himself in the right situation. Just consider who he's teamed up with over his career: In Houston, it was with Olajuwon. In LA, with Shaq. And now he can spot up when the defense collapses on Tim Duncan. I'm not taking anything away from him, though. Anyone can be open; it's the great ones who hit the shot. Also, most people only remember these game-winning treys he's made. If people watch the entire game, Horry has quick hands and a knack for drawing crucial charges at the right time. He's also a reliable passer and post-feeder. Just a great weapon for any team to have in clutch game situations. Amanda
I think you mean baseball's version? Contrary to popular belief, its not his clutch treys that win games, but his one-dribble-from-the-arc-stretch-armstrong-one-handed-lefty-dunks that completely demoralize other teams. As an example I will cite the 4th quarter of Game 5 in the 2005 Finals vs. San Antonio. that dunk had me reeling in my seat. Bubbachuck 21:16, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
"Mr. October" is a baseball term. Horry then is correctly identified as the "basketball version" of this concept. - PK9

[edit] Clean Up Tag
Horry's a basketball player. Let's have some basketball stats.
[edit] No Seventh Championship To Date
Not that I didn't WISH he had a seventh, he's an amazing player. But he hasn't earned it just yet. The proof?[1]
Correct me if I'm wrong, there was a year in between that article and today, but I'm pretty sure the Spurs were knocked out of the playoffs by the Mavericks. Which by the way...was just unfair. NinjaJew 13:19, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
