message: Robert Horry is simply one of the greatest clutch shooters in NBA History, and keep in mind the fact that he is a "role player."  Nobody talks about him during the season, but he's basketball's version of "Mr. October" once the playoffs are in full throttle.  He's also known how to put himself in the right situation.  Just consider who he's teamed up with over his 
career:  In Houston, it was with Olajuwon.  In LA, with Shaq.  And now he can spot up when the defense collapses on Tim Duncan.  I'm not taking anything away from him, though.  Anyone can be open; it's the great ones who hit the shot.  Also, most people only remember these game-winning treys he's made.  If people watch the entire game, Horry has quick hands and a knack for drawing crucial charges at the right time.  He's also a reliable passer and post-feeder.  Just a great weapon for any team to have in clutch game situations. Amanda
I think you mean baseball's version?  Contrary to popular belief, its not his clutch treys that win games, but his one-dribble-from-the-arc-stretch-armstrong-one-handed-lefty-dunks that completely demoralize other teams.  As an example I will cite the 4th quarter of Game 5 in the 2005 Finals vs. San Antonio.  that dunk had me reeling in my seat.  Bubbachuck 21:16, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Clean Up Tag

message: Not that I didn't WISH he had a seventh, he's an amazing player.  But he hasn't earned it just yet.  The proof?
Correct me if I'm wrong, there was a year in between that article and today, but I'm pretty sure the Spurs were knocked out of the playoffs by the Mavericks.  Which by the way...was just unfair. NinjaJew 13:19, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: No Seventh Championship To Date

message: I'm pretty sure Horry's nickname back when he was winning championships with the Lakers was always "Big Shot Rob".  So far as I know the "Big Shot Bob" thing started after he joined the Spurs, when Tim Duncan called him that in a post game press conference.  Some sports columnist (I can't remember which) claimed that Duncan only calls Horry "Bob" as a way of teasing him, since Horry doesn't like the name.  Nevertheless, "Big Shot Bob" seems to have become the more commonly used version of his nickname.
I doubt this detail is worthy of inclusion in the article (and I'd want to back up my memory with some cites first), but I figured I'd mention it here. --Tim314 15:51, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Big Shot Rob vs. Big Shot Bob

message: Is it just me or are the dates in the clutch shot section way off? I dont feel like doin the research but it claims that the western conference finals were on the 7th and somehow the NBA finals game 3 was on the 11th?...So that would mean a best of seven series was finished and the next one was 2 games away all in the matter of a couple days?...NOT POSSIBLE!!!—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.161.197.159  (talk • contribs)
:Good catch.  I've filled in the correct date and added cites to all of the items in that list. Thanks! Kuru talk 04:47, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
