Houston Rockets: The creation of the legendary “Big Shot Bob”

With the Houston Rockets set to face off against the San Antonio Spurs tonight, it’s worth examining Robert Horry, who won championships for both teams and hit clutch, game winning shots for each team.

The Houston Rockets drafted Robert Horry with the 11th pick in the first round of the 1992 NBA Draft and became an instant starter for the team immediately during the 1992-93 season. In his first season, he finished fourth on the team in scoring with 10.1 points per game along with 5 rebounds per game. During that season, Horry also recorded 20+ points on seven different occasions, and the Rockets went 5-2 during those games.
