A great (albeit tragic) anecdote was that Roberts daughter had cancer from an early age. One of the reasons he was so chilled in big pressure scenarios was that even the most pressure in the NBA Finals is nothing compared to that.
I agree with both your comments but it's inclusion would have been a downer. This video was solely about praising mr Horry but ur right that experience most likely clam him. Question 🙋 did he's little girl live
Tim Duncan isn't known for being clutch and that one time it seemed like he hit a game winner in 2004 playoffs, Fischer hit that crazy 0.4sec buzzer beater. But dude banks on his fundamentals to smother the enemy team and not let their lead get too low at the closing minutes.
My thoughts exactly, contenders knew he was a difference maker in the playoffs. Even if he doesn't contribute a lot every single game, in the games that matter he wakes up and seals the deal for his squad.
@@joepermenter7228true. I think it’s 50/50. Some luck got him in a few positions, but his selfless play and clutch confidence made him a no brainer pickup for the rest.
That's the argument I make. If he is on your team your team has depth to make a run. Its not his fault his stars did their roll and he out played the other roll players. He is a great
Finally someone gives this guys some respect. Big shot Rob has consistently helped three different teams win at the highest level on three separate occasions. Without him Shaq, Kobe, Duncan, and even Hakeem's resume would be much different. Although he didn't get HOF he got 7 rings to back it up.
Agreed. The Spurs were very close to going down 3-2 in 2005 against Detroit. Duncan had been struggling and Horry then went off and won it for them in overtime.
He only has two legitimate championships and that was in 2005 and 2007. His first two with the Rockets were only because Jordan retired. He shouldnt have won any with the Lakers. All the ones with Shaq and Kobe were rigged because the NBA needed a new dynasty to replace the Bulls. The trail blazers should have won in 2000. The 76ers should have won in 2001. (Unfortunately they traded kukoc and an "injured" Ratliff to the Hawks earlier that year).The Kings should have won in 2002.
@@jfearless3420 don’t tell that to suns fans. They will always think 2007 was rigged because they really thought their no defense team was gonna win it all lol.
Nice job on the video! I think Rob even outside of the ridiculous clutch shenanigans was the ideal archetype for a role player 4 in the 90s and 00s- he could stretch the floor with his 36% (this would just be decent today but was really rare for a guy his size then) from 3pt in the playoffs but was still a big body that could bang with the bruisers of that era inside. He also could be an oversized 3 because of his shooting, adding even more size on the defensive end in that role. The perfect fit along side post scoring bigs like Hakeem, Shaq, and Duncan.
I remember when he came into the league it was a huge surprise that a guy his size and position could take and make threes. It was unheard of. Before him the only big to shoot threes was Laimbeer, unless you count Larry Bird as a true big. To me Horry was the first to leverage the threat of the three to drive, or the threat of the drive to shoot the three, and that has had a huge impact on the game.
Me going into this video: "I'm sure everyone is going to forget about Boris Diaw again..." Literally 15 seconds later: "I owe you an apology Clayton, I wasn't really familiar with your game."
I second everything in this video. But there's actually even more to Big Shot. There were so many games where he wasn't hitting the game winner, but hit a big 3 in the last 2 minutes to end a run or put a team away. Not just shooting either. Big time clutch rebounds and defensive plays. Hands down the GOAT roleplayer. He's as clutch as Larry, Micahel, or Kobe. The only difference being that he wasnt a shot creator, but a shot taker. I'm blessed to have watched his entire career. Dude belongs in the hall of fame.
I agree. There are a lot of ways to be a great ballplayer. The only reason not to put him in the HOF is stats, and that's stupid when you think about it.
He is, to me, the GOAT of Role Players. On the list of Role Players, he’s the only guy whose name is not out of place on a list of All Time Clutch Shooters with Bird, MJ, Allen, and Reggie Miller.
Just because Horry doesn't take a ton of shots doesn't mean he didn't have massive impact. He was a top defender, made very few turnovers, rarely got fouls in key situations and scored when it mattered. In a team game, the best teammate who make the right play should be rewarded. He was smart and wouldn't contest things he'd get called for fouls. He spaced the floor, played help defense and reacted to passing lanes. He got a bunch of steals while having a low foul rate and one the best plus-Minuses in the league. He plays just like modern players and they didn't understand it back then. He should be a hall-of-famer because he played the game like he should and should get rewarded for taking less risks and winning. I remember him taking over a few regular season games as well. Jordan said Horry was one of the best, what else do you need?
@@TippedScaleuntil his career ends, he's not exactly there yet. If he actually gets to another team that's primed to win titles, he'll definitely be on the board. Imo he'd need at least 2-3 more chips.
You missed out game 4 of the WCF 1996, where Rob shot 5/6 threes and 15pts in the fourth to lead the Rockets into OT after trailing by 20 in the fourth. That was one of the greatest performances I ever saw (and damn scary as the Sonics fan I am 😅…)
Did Clayton make yet another banger? He did. Was this a perfect tribute to Mr. Big Shot? It was. Does Horray have even more rings than Jordan? He does.
As a fellow basketball historian I’ve always told my friends about how much I think Big Shot Rob should be a hall of famer. Glad to see I’m not the only one with that sentiment, the man just because unstoppable I’m the clutch. If I wanted 1 role player on my team there’s no question I’m taking Big Shot Rob
He is not a HoFer. You're literally lowering the bar. He played with 4 of the top 15 players in history, and that's not including Drexler, Manu, and Tony Parker, who are HoFers.
The 93 Playoffs were the first NBA postseason I ever watched. I liked Horry's game immediately. I remember in particular a possession where he got the ball at the left elbow, faced up, drove to the right past his man and leapt with the ball elevated in one hand as high as possible like he expected to dunk (kind of like 8:27, except without a defender there) only to switch it at the last possible moment in front of the rim to a soft, tight finger roll. The whole sequence was so smooth. In high school and college through the late 90's and early 2000's I always mentioned Horry anytime I was in a discussion about favorite NBA players. And when he retired I said that if I could have anyone's NBA career it would be his. All the success, tons of credit, but without the pressure of being a first or second offensive option. It was crazy how he or Kerr won every title from 1994-2003

@@jacksonreynolds9232 No, I'm saying it's cause and effect because he never affected Jordan personally because he never actually played with MJ brosif.
Excellent video! Very entertaining way of putting together all the subject matter I watched Horry win all those championships and the man was amazing; in the right moments!
The mystery for me, why he couldn't play like that 90% of the time. He not only be in the hall but will be among the greats. Clearly one of the greatest playoffs performers.
The 2005 Finals might just be the most slept on, unspoken Finals since the Magic and Bird era no joke. No one ever talks about it, and you barely ever see highlights. Honestly, I think every single ring won since 1980 gets more content made about it today and in the past few years than that specific Spurs ring, it’s kinda wild.
So weird too right ? I mean it's two of the most recent NBA champions (at the time) going toe to toe for 7 games. I mean I didn't even know about it until I was going through Wikipedia while looking at previous NBA champions.
When the lights shine brightest, we’re quick to clown those who fall short. So it’s always nice to celebrate those that step up, make big plays, and most importantly, hit BIG SHOTS!!
Hell yeah, Big Shot Rob was one of my all-time favorite players since his days with the Rockets. Great tribute to a fantastic player. His defense doesn't get talked about enough. I wasn't a Laker fan, but I had no time for crying Kings fans. You tapped the ball out to Robert Horry ffs. What did you think was going to happen?
We are not crying about the Horry shot, we are crying because of the Horry shot, the terrible reffing in game 6, and the choke job at home in game 7. If any one of those 3 things go differently the Kings win in 02. Of those 3, the Horry shot bothers me the least.
AMEN brother! When you play on teams the best players ever you are pretty damn lucky. However, he was the perfect compliment to those players. He contributed every single game and stepped up big when needed to. He is one of those few players you could put on any team and that team would be better for it.
im so glad one of my favorite nba players is finally getting the credit he deserves, he is infinitly more than just some guy who was lucky to be a bench warmer for 7 title wining teams, there is a reason hi teams won, there is a reason teams wanted him. Robert horry deserves to be in the goat debate.
Clayton. Thanks for this Video. This is the best analysis n compilation of Horry's greatness. He's indeed the best Role Player of all time. I think that should be His Hall Of Fame Title. 7 Rings which he actually Instrumented esp. With that buddy check against the Suns when the Spurs where running out of Ideas at age 36. I think He's the Smartest player to watch on a game, relegate himself & go unnoticed till around the very end when it mattered. Honestly I noticed Horry the 1st time when he saved the Spurs in the 2005 season's game 5. I didn't know he has been literally saving the big winning teams since Olaguwon n the LA Lakers men!!!!! Game 3 @ Philly could had easily been Iverson's game but for Horry again, and game 3 against Iverson and Carmelo's Nuggets Hurry was there again for the spurs. I didn't know they where down 2-1 to the Kings in 02/03. & where loosing for the kings to make it 3-1 in game 4 but for Horry who was there to help the Lakers tie it 2-2. & win their last Series. I think its safe to say that when Horry left the lakers after giving the Shaq-Kobi team their 3pt 3rd ring, that Lakers didn't win another ring till Kobe came into his Own. But before Kobe would come into his own in 2008; Horry would Help the Spurs win another 2 Rings by 36 in 07 the year they took Iverson n Carmelo's Nuggets n Steve Nash's Suns out to win his 7th Ring. Hiorry / Heorry. Is a True Hero, the smartest and was instrumental in every team he played and watched the game & was always out of site like a ghost who only literally always open at the dieing moments of the game to put his team forward with that Clutch 3. I think is only the Spurs that won it b4, during and after Horry came n left. Hakeem Olaguwon's Rockets and Shak Kobe's Lakers didn’t win the Play Offs without Horry. That's they didn't win the playoffs b4 Horry came or after Horry left. So he did 2 with Hakeem, 3 with Shaq-Kobe n 2 for the Spurs. I think he was so smart in choosing teams to move to. Like making sure he left the suns to play for the lakers. I think he always knew the team with the greatest potential to win playoffs to go to next and play for. Its amazing that all the teams he intentionally moved to he won rings with them to finished his Career with 7 rings. Its really amazing. His timing. He just knew the next best team to go to & new when to leave. He did it back to back with the 1st 2 dominant teams Olaguwon's Rockets 2pt 94,95 when Jordan left & Shaqs's 2000/1-2002/3 series. But won for the Spurs not consecutively but almost consecutively, in the 2005 ,07 series. Horry is Truely impeccably great. If Not for this video I wouldn't know Horry was there throughout Olaguwon's 2pt n Shaq's Lakers 3pt. Only really knew & noticed him at Spurs 05 Buzzer Game 6, Clutch 3 to level the Spurs up 3-3 & force a game 7 against the defending Champs Chancy Billups, Hamilton , The Wallaces' Pistons. Thanks Clayton for this Documentry & Analysis. Truely Spot on & Beautiful. Wise Horry. Smartly got his 7th (7- The Symbolic, Iconic, Number if Completion) Ring & knew it was Finished n retired just b4 turning 37. Its amazing. He's Truely The Best Role Player in NBA History & Clayton, You said it Right & I think you titled it so very right as well. "ROLE PLAYER" Hall Of Fame. I think we should suggest it yea. Thanks Clay.
He wasn't lucky, Teams that were trying to become championship caliber were signing him because they knew he would be a glue guy for there all stars. He had that dog in him fr
Great video! I just texted him this video because he is too modest to look up videos like this about himself, but I always tell him that there are some great videos of him and I appreciate you taking the time to make a video like this about my best friend. Thank you Clayton!
Of course being 59 years old and from die hard San Antonio Spurs fan… I've known about the legendary "big shot Bob"… But I have never, never heard the story telling of "Saint Bob" in the way this you do it. Well done Clayton and I am a fan and a new subscriber.
As a Rockets fan, I absolutely understand his importance to those championship teams. Such a clutch player. I love seeing the film of Hakeem getting the ball to Horry with the game on the line. That shows respect and confidence; many superstars would insist on taking those shots themselves rather than give the ball up for a better shot.
thanx for this, horry was my fav player growing up, had him traded to all my teams in nba live 95',96',97',98' on the super nintendo. I remember convicing my dad how good horry really was and after the 95' playoffs he was convinced.
Robert Horry is my #3 most loved NBA player of all time. He is even rarer than the likes of Jordan, Kobe or even the others that want to be named GOAT.
Possibly the most understated player in NBA history. But to those that know, Horry's a literal legend. It's sad that the kids these days will never see him in a playoff game.
They don’t call him Big Shot Rob for nothing! Fantastic video and hell to the yeah! No fluke this man won 7 titles. It was because these teams were smart enough to go get him!
They will never be another Jordan, and there will never be another Robert Horry. It was't just the playoffs, he performs best when his team needs him. Having literally watched every game in his prime with the Lakers, whenever the Lakers are in trouble,that is the only time he seems to tries to score outside of the triangle offense. Nowadays,everyone wants shots and numbers and get paid. Very unique fella.
Thank you for this vid. Winning when it counts is not about stats. It's about IQ, grit, Defense and the intangibles. Robert Horry is one of the greatest examples of this. Rodman might be second.

@@jacksonreynolds9232 No, I'm saying it's cause and effect because he never affected Jordan personally because he never actually played with MJ brosif.
This upload is absolutely phenomenal. Outstanding work Clayton!
I am so happy to have a fellow Big Shot Bob fanboy. He could come out of retirement right now and contribute to a championship contender.
💯💯💯
Facts
Excellent video! Very entertaining way of putting together all the subject matter I watched Horry win all those championships and the man was amazing; in the right moments!
Amazing video man, i had so much fun with this
9:36 can we take a second to acknowledge the 6th man playing D against Horry? 😂😂
11:31 I can tell you had a lot of fun making this video lmao
The mystery for me, why he couldn't play like that 90% of the time. He not only be in the hall but will be among the greats. Clearly one of the greatest playoffs performers.
My 2nd favorite Clayton video, only behind the Larry GOAT vid.
This is such a well done video. No joke dude, this video is more well done than most payed shows at ESPN that are on rn. Keep being great
The 2005 Finals might just be the most slept on, unspoken Finals since the Magic and Bird era no joke. No one ever talks about it, and you barely ever see highlights.
Honestly, I think every single ring won since 1980 gets more content made about it today and in the past few years than that specific Spurs ring, it’s kinda wild.
So weird too right ? I mean it's two of the most recent NBA champions (at the time) going toe to toe for 7 games. I mean I didn't even know about it until I was going through Wikipedia while looking at previous NBA champions.
When the lights shine brightest, we’re quick to clown those who fall short. So it’s always nice to celebrate those that step up, make big plays, and most importantly, hit BIG SHOTS!!
A wonderful retrospective on an underappreciated player. People who know ball understand how important Robert Horry was to the teams he was on.
Clayton! You had way too much fun with this video. Thanks for the quality content.
Naaaaaa, this is the best one😂😂😂. The quality is insane.
Brooooo, the edit is insane!! It might dethrone the Tim Duncan case as my favorite video
You keep on producing good stuff over and over ! Good Luck with Bleacher Hope you will come back to the channel soon !
I’m not going anywhere! I’ll still be here making videos while the BR videos come out!
This was fabulous! What a tribute to this outstanding player! As a diehard Spurs fan, we all shout the never-ending praise of Big Shot Rob❤🎉
Hell yeah, Big Shot Rob was one of my all-time favorite players since his days with the Rockets. Great tribute to a fantastic player. His defense doesn't get talked about enough.
I wasn't a Laker fan, but I had no time for crying Kings fans. You tapped the ball out to Robert Horry ffs. What did you think was going to happen?
We are not crying about the Horry shot, we are crying because of the Horry shot, the terrible reffing in game 6, and the choke job at home in game 7. If any one of those 3 things go differently the Kings win in 02. Of those 3, the Horry shot bothers me the least.
Secret agent Vlade doing a solid for his old team 😂
AMEN brother! When you play on teams the best players ever you are pretty damn lucky. However, he was the perfect compliment to those players. He contributed every single game and stepped up big when needed to. He is one of those few players you could put on any team and that team would be better for it.
I’ve been waiting for a Clayton Crawley video for weeks
The sheer love for the game that is apparent in every one of your videos is dang near awe inspiring. Keep it up!
im so glad one of my favorite nba players is finally getting the credit he deserves, he is infinitly more than just some guy who was lucky to be a bench warmer for 7 title wining teams, there is a reason hi teams won, there is a reason teams wanted him. Robert horry deserves to be in the goat debate.
Clayton. Thanks for this Video. This is the best analysis n compilation of Horry's greatness. He's indeed the best Role Player of all time. I think that should be His Hall Of Fame Title. 7 Rings which he actually Instrumented esp. With that buddy check against the Suns when the Spurs where running out of Ideas at age 36. I think He's the Smartest player to watch on a game, relegate himself & go unnoticed till around the very end when it mattered.
Honestly I noticed Horry the 1st time when he saved the Spurs in the 2005 season's game 5. I didn't know he has been literally saving the big winning teams since Olaguwon n the LA Lakers men!!!!! Game 3 @ Philly could had easily been Iverson's game but for Horry again, and game 3 against Iverson and Carmelo's Nuggets Hurry was there again for the spurs.
I didn't know they where down 2-1 to the Kings in 02/03. & where loosing for the kings to make it 3-1 in game 4 but for Horry who was there to help the Lakers tie it 2-2. & win their last Series.
I think its safe to say that when Horry left the lakers after giving the Shaq-Kobi team their 3pt 3rd ring, that Lakers didn't win another ring till Kobe came into his Own. But before Kobe would come into his own in 2008; Horry would Help the Spurs win another 2 Rings by 36 in 07 the year they took Iverson n Carmelo's Nuggets n Steve Nash's Suns out to win his 7th Ring.
Hiorry / Heorry. Is a True Hero, the smartest and was instrumental in every team he played and watched the game & was always out of site like a ghost who only literally always open at the dieing moments of the game to put his team forward with that Clutch 3.
I think is only the Spurs that won it b4, during and after Horry came n left. Hakeem Olaguwon's Rockets and Shak Kobe's Lakers didn’t win the Play Offs without Horry. That's they didn't win the playoffs b4 Horry came or after Horry left.
So he did 2 with Hakeem, 3 with Shaq-Kobe n 2 for the Spurs.
I think he was so smart in choosing teams to move to. Like making sure he left the suns to play for the lakers.
I think he always knew the team with the greatest potential to win playoffs to go to next and play for. Its amazing that all the teams he intentionally moved to he won rings with them to finished his Career with 7 rings.
Its really amazing. His timing. He just knew the next best team to go to & new when to leave.
He did it back to back with the 1st 2 dominant teams Olaguwon's Rockets 2pt 94,95 when Jordan left & Shaqs's 2000/1-2002/3 series. But won for the Spurs not consecutively but almost consecutively, in the 2005 ,07 series.
Horry is Truely impeccably great.
If Not for this video I wouldn't know Horry was there throughout Olaguwon's 2pt n Shaq's Lakers 3pt. Only really knew & noticed him at Spurs 05 Buzzer Game 6, Clutch 3 to level the Spurs up 3-3 & force a game 7 against the defending Champs Chancy Billups, Hamilton , The Wallaces' Pistons.
Thanks Clayton for this Documentry & Analysis.
Truely Spot on & Beautiful.
Wise Horry. Smartly got his 7th (7- The Symbolic, Iconic, Number if Completion) Ring & knew it was Finished n retired just b4 turning 37. Its amazing.
He's Truely The Best Role Player in NBA History &
Clayton, You said it Right & I think you titled it so very right as well. "ROLE PLAYER" Hall Of Fame. I think we should suggest it yea.
Thanks Clay.
He wasn't lucky, Teams that were trying to become championship caliber were signing him because they knew he would be a glue guy for there all stars. He had that dog in him fr
This video is funny as hell I always had love for big shot Bob but yo you’re funny as hell 😂😂😂
Your commentary at 13:46 is spot on. It was exactly my thought when I was watching the game.
"Clearly a lie." 17:16 lol that jumpscare. Anyway great video!
Dude this is your best video yet, I love the enthusiasm and jokes
Robert Horry is the first inductee in the Clayton Crowley hall of fame.
This is an excellent top shelf quality production! Absolutely killed it! Love it!
Clayton, not highlighting the Nash moment 🤣🤣🤣
Bruh Arnett shouted you out Bruh Clayton. I'm glad he did. You got me Bruh. Just subscribed. Thanks for the content.
Will Smith?
Great video! I just texted him this video because he is too modest to look up videos like this about himself, but I always tell him that there are some great videos of him and I appreciate you taking the time to make a video like this about my best friend. Thank you Clayton!
Of course being 59 years old and from die hard San Antonio Spurs fan… I've known about the legendary "big shot Bob"… But I have never, never heard the story telling of "Saint Bob" in the way this you do it. Well done Clayton and I am a fan and a new subscriber.
As a Rockets fan, I absolutely understand his importance to those championship teams. Such a clutch player. I love seeing the film of Hakeem getting the ball to Horry with the game on the line. That shows respect and confidence; many superstars would insist on taking those shots themselves rather than give the ball up for a better shot.
The music, the commentary, made this feel like a 90's classic basketball documentary that hypes you up. Amazing.
10:55 sums this up perfectly. Kobe couldn't, Shaq couldn't, Horry could...
So refreshing to finally watch a great video essay without a sponso cut in the middle! Kudos to the excellent work!! 🔥🔥
thanx for this, horry was my fav player growing up, had him traded to all my teams in nba live 95',96',97',98' on the super nintendo. I remember convicing my dad how good horry really was and after the 95' playoffs he was convinced.
Robert Horry is my #3 most loved NBA player of all time. He is even rarer than the likes of Jordan, Kobe or even the others that want to be named GOAT.
A truely inspiring undercover NBA legend...
Great content..
insightful for a non basketball watcher like myself...
Cheers 🥂
Cheers Clay. I've always found Horry interesting, great to see a video on him!
This year 2024. It's been 16 years since his retirement. People still talk about him. He's definitely a "Legend"
Big shot Rob, Jack Stack, Sweet Lou, Manu. Just to name a few. Them boys important coming off that bench
Possibly the most understated player in NBA history. But to those that know, Horry's a literal legend. It's sad that the kids these days will never see him in a playoff game.
Another great installment in a great series. Thanks Clayton!
"He body checked the piss out of Steve Nash" is the funniest thing I've seen and heard in a while 😂😂😂 he really fucked him right up
Big Shot Bob ain't afraid to get his hands dirty.
Great video man! I don’t watch basketball content too much but this was really entertaining!
Everything about this video goes down Smooth. The music. The quirky topic and script. Just. Smooth.
They don’t call him Big Shot Rob for nothing!
Fantastic video and hell to the yeah! No fluke this man won 7 titles. It was because these teams were smart enough to go get him!
clayton ive been watching you since you have had 1k subscribers and the last 4 minutes were some of the best content ive ever seen
Love the vibe in this video Great job
What other series are you up to? Defenders, All decades squad, do whatever you want. Just love your content
They will never be another Jordan, and there will never be another Robert Horry. It was't just the playoffs, he performs best when his team needs him. Having literally watched every game in his prime with the Lakers, whenever the Lakers are in trouble,that is the only time he seems to tries to score outside of the triangle offense. Nowadays,everyone wants shots and numbers and get paid. Very unique fella.
Great video man😂 I like this new way of editing and writing
Thank you for this vid. Winning when it counts is not about stats. It's about IQ, grit, Defense and the intangibles. Robert Horry is one of the greatest examples of this. Rodman might be second.
Awesome and fun video. Big shot Bob really has this clutch gene that some hall of famers do not have.
One of my top 10 favorite players of all time...I miss the NBA and players like him !
4:51 how has that assist never been more hyped up? Genuinely one of the smoothest dishes I ever seen
