Robert Horry began his NBA career by being drafted in the 1st round, 11th pick by the Houston Rockets. Experts and fans thought the pick would be Harold Miner. Carroll Dawson, Rockets executive vice president of basketball, defended his choice by saying, "If we drafted on public opinion, I don't think we would be here very long." Good choice.

Horry, playing in pain from a sore heel, helps lead the Rockets to beat the 76ers with 29 points, his high of the season. He finished 11 of 15 from the field and had 5 assists. "It’s a lot easier to do that when you’re up by 20 points," says Horry. "You can throw the ball up there, and you just know it’s going in. And if it doesn’t, you’re still up by 20."

The Rockets tied the NBA's longest winning streak by winning the first 15 games of the season. The 15th game was won against the New York Knicks played at Madison Square Garden. They went on to win 22 of the first 23 games which is the best in league history.

Left wide open, Horry shot a 17-foot jumper and landed his only field goal of the game with 6.5 seconds left to win the game against the San Antonio Spurs in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals. "I saw Robert wide-open and gave him the ball," Olajuwon said. "He was our hero for the first game."

Shaq was a part of the Orlando Magic team in this NBA Finals matchup against the Rockets. Magic must have been confused about which team Robert Horry played for because they kept throwing him the ball, a NBA Finals-record 7 times. The Rockets won 117-106 to a 2-0 lead in the series they went on to win. "I kind of felt like I had a magnet on my hands out there," Horry said. "I was fortunate to step into the passing lanes, read their offense and play well."

After being listed as questionable with a knee injury prior to the game, Clyde Drexler goes out and scores 21 points to lead the Rockets to a 101-97 win over the Denver Nuggets. "I guess the older you are, the quicker you heal," Drexler says. "It felt good. Hopefully, it will feel good in the morning." Drexler had plenty of help in the scoring column, as Robert Horry (22 points), Hakeem Olajuwon (20) and Sam Cassell (19) all had key roles in the victory.

Robert Horry sparks a second-half run by scoring all nine of his points in the 3rd period to help lead the Rockets to a 121-106 win over the Dallas Mavericks. The Mavericks team included young guard Jason Kidd who lead the NBA with 5 triple-doubles.

The incident followed a flurry of technicals after a flagrant foul by Shaquille O'Neal that sent Karl Malone to the floor at the 8:51 mark of the third quarter and the Jazz ahead 60-51. While Malone, called for a technical for arguing with O'Neal, was arguing with the Lakers' big man, Horry threw a punch that appeared to strike Hornacek in the chest, sending the Utah guard's neck snapping back. Hornacek was not injured and continued to play, but Horry, with three points, was ejected.

Horry, who was hospitalized Sunday because of an irregular heartbeat, will remain on the sidelines for now. Horry was told to sit out the game against the Hornets and tonight's contest against Dallas. "I'm going to be reevaluated Thursday," he said. "They say I have nothing to worry about. The muscles are fine, the blood flow is fine. I've just got an extra beat in my heart, probably caused by a virus. Right now, (doctors) just want me to take it easy."

Horry landed 7 points, 6 rebounds and a game-high 4 blocks against Indiana for the 111-104 win in Game 2 of the Finals.

"Robert Horry played a great game tonight in a lot of different ways," Lakers coach Phil Jackson said. The versatile 6-foot-10 forward had 17 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals. When overtime started, it was Horry who sank a 15-foot baseline jumper to give the Lakers the lead they would never relinquish. Moments later, when O'Neal missed a short hook, Horry was there to grab the offensive rebound and slam it through. It all compensated for his ugly turnover in the final 17 seconds of regulation when the Lakers could have put the game away. "When it went out of bounds, I thought: 'All right, we'll just have to win it in overtime,'" said Horry, who has two championship rings from 1994 and 1995 with the Houston Rockets. "It's disappointing when you turn the ball over because it was the last five seconds of the (regulation) game. But it's no big deal. You turn it over and then you have to let it go." And once O'Neal fouled out in overtime, they went into open floor mode and Bryant and Horry were at the hub of what was happening. "I thought we were still OK," Horry said. "We lost him at a very important time. But we can come out and do penetration things and get easy jumpers without Shaq in the game. Sometimes, people think we rely on him so much that we can't win without him." The Lakers did win, 120-118 in this Game 4 of the Finals against Indiana.

Horry scored 7 points in the last 47.1 seconds of the game against the 76ers to win game 3 of the Finals 96-91 taking the Lakers to a 2-1 lead in the series. He started with a 3-pointer then shot a pair of free throws with 21.3 seconds left and then another 2 free throws with 9.5 seconds remaining. He ended the game 3 of 3 from three-point range, 4 of 5 from the floor and 4 of 4 from the foul line.

Doctors discovered a hematoma under Horry's abdominal muscle. He continued to play.

Kobe Bryant gains an assist as he throws the ball to Robert Horry. Horry squares up and makes the series-winning 3-pointer against Portland in Game 3.

The crowd was silent as Robert Horry hopped around the court after his series-clinching three-pointer Sunday in Portland. Shaquille O'Neal was the first Laker to greet Horry, wrapping him up and squeezing him like a rag doll. The other Lakers hugged him, some even whispering things in his ear that made Horry smile. In the middle of all this, Horry kept looking for Kobe Bryant. When Horry and Bryant found each other, they smiled, laughed and hugged, and then Horry thanked his young teammate for making the pass that made him the hero. Brian Shaw looked at both of them, his teammates and friends enjoying this special moment together, and thought about the gesture Horry extended to Bryant and how Bryant's face beamed. "Robert said to Kobe, 'Thanks for trusting me,' " said Shaw. "That was big. He was just happy that Kobe thought enough of him to let him take that game-winning shot." At halftime, Horry had approached Bryant as they were walking back onto the court to apologize for missing two shots after Bryant had passed him the ball. " 'Yo, I missed two jumpers for you, but next time, I'll knock it down for you,' " Horry told Bryant. With 2.1 seconds left, Horry made good on his promise after Bryant, double-teamed as he drove for the basket, found Horry wide open in the corner right in front of the Trail Blazers bench. Then, as teammates wanted to congratulate him, Horry just wanted to thank Bryant. "I just wanted to let him know that I appreciated him for believing in me and giving me the rock, 'cause he could have taken the shot," Horry said. "That made me feel good to hear Robert say that," Bryant said. "That's what it's all about, having that trust. Once you have that trust, you have that bond. Your teammates feel like you trust them. I trust them completely -- all of them."

The shot of a life-time is made by Robert Horry in Game 4 of the WCF against the Sacramento Kings. The series was seconds away from being over and sending the Lakers home down 3-1 ... Shaq missed the shot, Bryant missed the shot and Divac swats the ball to the outside, directly to Horry who scoops it up and makes the game-winning shot with 0.6 seconds left. The Lakers come back to the win the series and then the Finals.

Gov. Don Siegelman today proclaimed "Robert Horry Day" in Alabama and honored the Alabama native during a reception at the Governor's Mansion for his accomplishments in the National Basketball Association (NBA).

"From his days of dunking at Andalusia High to draining three-pointers for the L.A. Lakers, Robert has truly made the most of his opportunity to live his dream of playing basketball," Siegelman said. "I speak for all Alabamians in saying, Robert Horry will always be a champion in our hearts and a role model for our children."

With 3:52 remaining in overtime against Golden State, Horry hits a clutch 3-pointer to put the Lakers up for good.

Then Horry, as he did in the Lakers' dramatic playoff victory over Sacramento last year, was in the right place at the right time - with a pass into O'Neal deflected right to him.

Robert Horry, generally one of the Lakers' most mild-mannered individuals, has been fined $10,000 for one decidedly ill-mannered gesture. Horry shoved a TNT cameraman as he walked off the Target Center court at halftime of Tuesday's Game2 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Horry called it self- defense, he thought the cameraman was about to back into him but the act was seen by a national television audience, and the NBA treated it harshly. "I ain't saying nothing about it," Horry said of the fine. "What do I need to say about it? Of course I'm going to appeal it unless they're going to give it to charity or something, give it to the victims of this crazy war."

Although Horry wasn't in a mood to defend his actions, coach Phil Jackson did. "I think they should leave cameramen off the floor. They've got long-range lenses that they can reach the pitchers all the time on the sideline," said Jackson, who viewed a replay of the run-in. "Rob, in his defense, was overrun by the guy who runs out there with the cable, and then that irritated him,' Jackson said. "And then the cameraman, in his direct path, he kind of moved him over. The guy didn't fall down. But I didn't see the shove. I'm glad the NBA protects the camera people on the court."

Horry has signed with the Spurs. The contract is for two years, the second being a team option. The first year is valued at $4.5 million and the second year is $5 million.

Robert Horry plays his first game against the Lakers in the Staples Center since signing with the Spurs. To say that he was warmly received would be an understatement. In pregame he went around hugging and talking with everyone from his former team in between nailing 3-pointer after 3-pointer in warm-ups. During the pre-game, Mitch Kupchak presented Horry with a framed version of his gold home jersey while a tribute played on the big screen. The crowd (myself included) gave him a standing ovation and chanted "Horry, Horry, Horry!". He will always be loved in Los Angeles.
