Also explain why some say he should be inducted into the HOF? Are all "great role players" entered into the HOF discussion? Anyone who was old enough (not classy) to watch the NBA from the early 90's through the mid 2000's will always remember Horry. Not many people are going to remember the other "great role players."

Clifford Robinson, Kevin Willis, Charles Oakley, Derek fisher, how long do you want to go.. All had long careers. All were great role players.. all must have been clutch !!!!!

ZWICK 4 PREZ;1778293 wrote:a winning DNA LOL GTFOOH. You're probably the guy that want teams to draft a QB cuz "they just know how to win" too.
Horry was always a solid player. You discounting that is laughable.

like_that;1778295 wrote:So now he was a solid player, but not a great player? Look at these career numbers 7 ppg, 4.8 rbpg, 2.1 apg and tell me that is a guy you would fap to have on your roster regardless of name recognition. Horry was signed onto teams for his clutch factor, especially the last 4-5 years of his career. You're delusional.

Thanks for playing again.

Things I've learned form Zwick today.

Let's move on.

like_that;1778310 wrote:Everyone of those players weren't given max contracts (even though some of them were all stars) either. If you are given a max contract I don't think expecting you to hit some crucial shots in the 4th quarter is too much to ask.

ZWICK 4 PREZ;1778312 wrote:I know know what you're saying. You're frustrated with Love. He misses too many shots. But the whole issue is .... That's gonna happen. He's not playing his game any longer. And we can't expect him to because his game doesn't fit on this team. I think he's doing fine for what we're asking him to do. Which is not play his game.

I was very high on him coming out. He's shown flashes, but overall he's meh. Slacks off a LOT.

like_that;1778275 wrote:LOL at clutch not being a factor. Robert Horry made a career and prolonged his career out of being clutch. Look at his numbers career numbers, they are average at best and some say he should be a HOFer.
