In search of a closer: Nuggets challenge notions
NBA history is littered with the famous buckets. Derek Fisher's shot with 0.4 seconds left to beat San Antonio in 2004 ... Michael Jordan over Bryon Russell in 1998 ... Magic Johnson over Kevin McHale and Robert Parish in 1987... Robert Horry over, well, a lot of teams.

Robert Horry Says Phil Jackson Encourage Kobe vs. Shaq
Much like I would venture to say Shaq is the main person driving the buzz and fueling the drama with Dwight Howard, I have always wondered what place Phil Jackson truly played in the oft-discussed Kobe vs. Shaq feud.

Robert Horry Says That Phil Jackson Started The Kobe-Shaq Feud
When the Los Angeles Lakers won three straight NBA titles, from 1999-2000 to 2001-2002, the dynamic duo of Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant led the way and dominated the NBA like not many players have.

Sean Elliott nearly retired from the NBA in 1994
In 1993, Sean Elliott was traded from the San Antonio Spurs to the Detroit Pistons in exchange for Dennis Rodman. Elliott would go on and play one season with Detroit but never did quite fit in while Rodman helped the Spurs reach the playoffs but like Elliott, never did fit into the culture of the Spurs and his off-the-court antics would ultimately have him shipped off to the Chicago...
