I think Robert Horry should go into the HOF. He is the only person that has won 7 NBA rings with three different teams. Some of the Celtics from the Russel era that got in do not have the great stats either. The Lakers don’t win the 3 championships without him on the team and the Rockets and Spurs don’t win the 2 championships without him on hte team. Every team and coach in the NBA wanted him during his run. Michael Jordan should be the new Logo for the NBA without a doubt. He is responsible for taking the NBA global and Intergalatical (Space Jam)

I agree with 800lb and most others. I am a Lakers season ticket holder for 9 years and saw it all. I love Big Game Bob but putting him in the Hall is like calling a lotto winner a great businessman. Every club he won a ring with would probably have still won that championship without him. Rodman should be in without question as should Artis Gilmore and the Kings new coach, Mr. Westphal.

Yes, absolutely. Robert Horry was a winner. How different would history be if the Sacramento Queens had won the championship in 2001, or if Detroit were the back to back champs in ’05. Robert Horry has a huge effect on his teams, even if the numbers don’t support it. The NBA hall of fame is not like the MLB hall of fame, the restrictions are not as strict, and Horry definitely has a place.

Horry already got his award for his career: 7 championship rings. He did nothing to deserve the Hall.

Rodman, on the other hand, can make a decent case for membership.

I… don’t think so. How can a guy who was never named as an All-Star be considered HOFe material? Rodman was a two time All-Star, two time Defensive Player of the Year, and had seven rebounding titles to go along with his rings. Horry didn’t have any individual accolades, he just made big shots. He made plenty of them, but I don’t think that makes him and HOFer.

Definitely not – sure he was clutch, but he was also often left wide open. Teams usually draw plays to stop the dominant guys (Shaq, Kobe, Duncan, Ginobili, Olajuwon) in the last seconds of games and have the other guys make the shot. Horry was the “other” guy.

In all 7 of his championship wins he was never the pivotal player just a role player. Then if a player who played on every team for boston from 1959-1966 with the 8 straight should be in also. He is the ultimate role player
