Robert Horry: 'I don't think people really appreciate what I did'

preview

Tom Brady just won his .Which ties him with Robert Horry.Horry – who won titles with the 1994 and 1995 Rockets, 2000, 2001 and 2002 Lakers and 2005 and 2007 Spurs – :“More than half the time, I feel slighted because I don’t think people really appreciate what I did,” Horry said.“A part of you gets mad because I don’t think people outside the NBA family — and when I say ‘NBA’ I’m saying coaches and players — they don’t really respect what I did and they don’t really understand what I did and what I was able to accomplish,” Horry told FOX Sports. “It’s always, ‘Oh he was a part. Oh, he was a part.’ Yeah, I was a part, but I was a significant part.“You can’t have Kool-Aid without sugar, and I was the sugar to most of that stuff.”Horry won so many rings for multiple reasons:To extend Horry’s metaphor, some sugar gets scooped from the bag and into the Kool-Aid mix. But it’s random which grains of sugar are near the top of the bag. The lower grains aren’t less sweet. They just happened not to be in the right place.Horry was often in the right place at the right time.. He was never even an All-Star, and that wasn’t just because his traditional statistics lagged. In his very best season (with the 2001-02 Lakers), Horry posted just 6.9 win shares. For perspective, that matches and in the NBA’s last normal season (2018-19).But Horry was also a helpful contributor who consistently elevated his game in the playoffs. He did win seven titles. That counts, too.The people who rank Horry ranks among the all-time greats just because of rings are wrong. So are the people who completely dismiss his accomplishments. Yet, people do both.So – on balance – Horry seemingly gets treated approximately fairly.Powered by
