One hard foul out of frustration and now Spurs haters are comparing him to Bill Lambeer. Just thought I'd bust their chops and ask this question.

Don't give me any crap about MVP's. Karl Malone would trade his MVP trophy for a championship ring in one second.

Horry, of course. He was a complementary player on all six of those squads. Speaking of busting chops, how many towels has Steve Nash thrown into coaches' faces?

Robert Horry Steve Nash

Robert Horry has never been anything more than a role player. He could have never lead any team to even the playoffs. He wouldn't have won six rings if he hadn't been lucky enough to play alongside the likes of Olujawon and Shaq. He was just in the right place at the right time. Steve Nash is a leader. He can't even be compared to the likes of a washed-up-since-his-first day-in-the-NBA Robery Horry. There are legends like Barkley, Malone, Stockton, and Reggie Miller who have never won championships. Robert Horry rides in the back seat and happens to win six. He's just one lucky guy. Sure he's hit some clutch shots in the playoffs throughout the years, but would the teams he was on even be in the playoffs if the leaders weren't there and it was just a team full of Horrys? Even if Steve Nash never wins a championship, he will join the company of legendary players, because he is a leader, not a mere role player in the right place at the right time like Horry.

Of course everyone knows that Horry has six rings and Nash doesn't have one yet. What does that have to do with anything at all?
Horry has hit some clutch shots in his career, without question. He's been a valuable role player and seems to show up when he's needed. Having said that, his foul tonight on Nash a cheap foul made out of frustration. Any time a role player takes an unwarranted cheap shot at a star, especially one like Nash who is a class act, it just smacks of cheesiness.
Rings and championships have nothing to do with it. Horry, tonight, made a snap decision that for a while will brand him as a punk.

Who really cares how many rings any of them have won?
It was a hard foul and he will get a suspension. If it had been say Boris Diaw or Raja Bell that he took out then maybe not, but it was the reigning MVP.
For all of you that keep stating that Robert Horry hasn't helped win titles. You should go back and review all of his clutch shots that either won games or series. Ask Kings and Pistons fans about big shots that lost titles.
If the Suns win this year, I don't think any fans will be saying that Barbosa or Marion happened to hope on the luck Steve Nash train, they will say they were contributors. They are role players just like a lot of others in the NBA. There are only so many star slots to go around so the rest are just role players.

Horry may have won six rings (and has undoubtedly made clutch shots), but none of those really count as him leading a team to a title whereas you wouldn't be able to say that for Nash if he wins a championship.
Horry rode comfortably to three titles with Kobe and Shaq's Lakers (I'd go as far as to say Fox and Fisher were probably more pivotal players in that run), two with Hakeem and the Rockets, and one with Duncan's Spurs.
I remember reading an article somewhere a long time ago (when the Spurs beat the Pistons) that fits him accurately: he's an underachiever who happens to play for the right teams (or happens to be at the right place) at the right time.

How many MVP trophys does Steve Nash have to Robert Horry?

I'm not sure what your point is, but I'd like to make the point that Jud Buschler has three more rings than Steve Nash too. Go obscure Bulls riding the Michael Jordan championship train.

I don't think they would have won it all, but the common concensus is that they were busy owning their opponent and would have at the least gotten to the next round. Still, playoffs are won through discipline. Hot headed players can't be trusted. Had they kept their cool they would have done better. The better question would be would the suns have won the title if Boris and Amare hadn't had brain snaps?
