Robert Horry was a key component of several championship teams throughout his 16-year NBA career. Horry won 7 NBA titles with the Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Lakers, and San Antonio Spurs, and had the luxury of playing for several of the NBA’s coaching icons, such as Rudy Tomjanovich, Phil Jackson, and Gregg Popovich.

Horry also played alongside several of the game’s best players, and the list of big men that he’s taken the court with is enviable, as he’s played with the likes of Hakeem Olajuwon, Shaquille O’Neal, and Tim Duncan.
