In a summary, no.


The HOF is an individual accomplishemnt, and the NBA is more star driven than any other league.

I like Horry, but he was never even one of the top two players on his team, much less one of the best forwards in the history of pro basketball.

I most definitely see your point but it is hard to argue against a more clutch player in any sport. The guy basically turns the off switch in the reg. seasonand turns it on in the playoffs.

I think there is a plethora more talented players that should go before him, and that he might not even be worth discussing, its worth talking about with his history of incrediblely clutch plays when it matters most.

All good points, but if you look at how the voters vote, just being on a champioship team doesn't get you in. Even if you were a key part.


Look at guys like Mychal Thompson, Byron Scott, World B Free, or Horace Grant.


All were on multiple championship teams, and were very good players, but non are in the Hall of fame. And the only one who MIGHT get in is Scott.....in a looooonnnnggggg while.

Robert Horry will probably make the HOF, after all, the experts say the true stars come out in the playoffs and if that's true then Horry is a lock.



I'd be surprised if he didn't... :coffee:

I agree with Jared, although it is great he won 6 championships, 7.4 PPG is way too low to get there. :coffee:
