Horry! Horry! Horry! Horry! Horry!Robert Horry, or Big Shot Rob, was always known for coming up huge down the stretch. Arguably the finest shot in his 16-year career came in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals against the Sacramento Kings in 2002, when his game-winner...
A Stern Ruling
So the Suns road obviously isn't going to be an easy one. That became painfully obvious last night with 18.4 seconds left in the game. Big Cheap Shot Bob managed to prove Amare and the Suns correct. David Stern managed to give the Spurs the momentum right back by punishing the...

It was an incredible game with all kinds of twists and turns through it. Saying that the Spurs got off to a fast start is an understatement. The Spurs led 28-11 at the end of the first quarter. The Celtics shot only 24% while allowing the Spurs to shoot 57%. The Celtics were also outbrebounded...
Horry will always be part of Kings history
You know about the local ties in the NBA Finals, which started Thursday night.
There's the Magic's Hedo Turkoglu, the former Kings sharpshooter. There's Magic coach Stan Van Gundy, who jilted the Kings two summers ago. And there are Kobe Bryant and Phil Jackson of the...

Like most NBA fans living outside the greater San Antonio area, I was rooting for the Hornets last night. I always like to see new blood deep in the playoffs and I was excited about the prospect of a Lakers/Hornets series pitting the top two MVP candidates against each other.

LOS ANGELES — As I sit down to write this, I’m about 36,000 feet above middle America, winging my way toward Los Angeles for Games 1 and 2 of the 2009 NBA Finals, which tip tonight. And I just woke up from a perfectly-planned and brilliantly-executed 5...

The 6th Man: It’s been quite a summer. Gary Payton, Karl Malone and Horace Grant are Lakers; Robert Horry and Mark Madsen aren’t. That’s the easy part. Now try and stay with me: Brad Miller is a King, Hedo Turkoglu is a Spur, Speedy Claxton is...

How F’ing great was the finish of tonight’s game? This buzzer beater will probably make it into my top 5 favorites (nobody will ever dethrone Robert Horry’s three in the WCF vs. Sacramento). These kind of shots are why I still view Kobe as the better player than LeBron...

In one of those breathless e-mails that always make me feel vaguely sad for the PR intern that had to write it, the Sixers announced today that they've signed Donyell Marshall, because he was too soft to get a Euro offer. No, wait, it's because the seventh team in fourteen...

In the great history of the National Basketball Association, there may never have been a more unlikely Most Valuable Player winner than Steve Nash.
And the man won twice.

So James Posey, who has helped the Miami Heat and Boston Celtics to championships, is moving on to New Orleans. The New Orleans Hornets offered Posey a 4-year $25 million contract, and the Celtics decided not to match.

After Glenn Davis dropped the Orlando Magic tonight in the second round of the NBA Playoffs, we got to thinking about all of the other sub-par NBA players throughout the years that have canned some pretty big shots. Guys like Robert Horry and Derek Fisher kept coming to mind...

Full Court would like to award Robert Horry, other than the fact that he looks like a less-suave Will Smith, for his ever-great decision-making and intuition as he has proven time and time again that it isn't all a battle of will, nor a battle of skill, nor a battle of heart, but...
Al Harrington almost choked out Don Nelson
Just yesterday, I was watching an old Suns/Rockets game on ESPN Classic when I was reminded of the time Robert Horry threw a towel in Danny Ainge’s face when Ainge was coaching Horry in Phoenix. (The only team with which Rob didn’t win a championship.) Like a lot of older...

There has been some talk of late that the Spurs are interested in acquiring Vince Carter. Duncan says he would love to have Carter as a teammate, and why not? At age 32, Carter remains one of the NBA's most productive small forwards, averaging 20.8 points, 5.1 rebounds and 4.9...

Can we move on from this unfortunate situation yet? We all need to come to terms with the fact that Darius Miles is going to sign with a team ( for who knows what reason), play 2 games, and drill Portland on their salary cap.
Why are we all so worried about this anyway? The team has ...
