Robert Keith Horry (/ˈɒri/ ORR-ee; born August 25, 1970) is an American former professional basketball player and current sports commentator. He earned the nickname "Big Shot Rob",[a] because of his clutch shooting in important games. A seven-time NBA champion, he is widely considered to be one of the greatest clutch performers and winners in NBA history.
He played 16 seasons in the National Basketball Association (NBA), winning seven championships, the most of any player not to have played for the Boston Celtics of the 1950s and 1960s. He is one of only four players to have won NBA championships with three teams; he won two with the Houston Rockets, three with the Los Angeles Lakers and two with the San Antonio Spurs with no defeats in NBA Finals.[2][3][4] He holds the NBA record for most three-point shots made in an NBA playoff game without a miss and the record for most steals in an NBA Finals game. Horry now works as a commentator on Spectrum SportsNet for the Lakers.
