Robert Horry

Robert Horry (born August 25 1970 in Andalusia, Alabama) is an NBA basketball player, currently playing for the San Antonio Spurs and is recognised as one of the greatest clutch shooters in modern NBA history. Horry was selected 11th overall in the 1992 NBA Draft by the Houston Rockets. In his rookie season, Horry averaged 10.1 points per game. He spent his first four NBA seasons with the Rockets, helping them win the NBA Championship in 1994 and 1995. Horry is a six foot ten power forward.

On August 19 1996, Horry was traded to the Phoenix Suns. Before finishing a complete season, he was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers on January 10 1997. Horry was a member of the Lakers when they won three consecutive NBA championships (2000, 2001, and 2002), and he earned a reputation for coming up with clutch playoff baskets when the Lakers needed them most, most notably in the 2002 Western Conference Semifinals when he sunk a clutch 3 point shot at the buzzer against the Sacramento Kings to help the Lakers tie the series at 2. His clutch performances in the playoffs have earned him the nickname "Big Shot Rob". He is second on the all-time list of three-pointers made in the playoffs, second only to Reggie Miller.

Following the 2002–03 season, Horry signed as a free agent with the Spurs.
