Robert Horry was highly impressed with young Manu Ginobili

Robert Horry has a mixed relationship with Spurs fans. He played a significant role in their 2005 and 2007 championships — most notably with a huge 4th quarter and OT performance in Game 5 of the 2005 NBA Finals against the Pistons — but he can also be a wildcard when it comes to what direction he’ll take when discussing one of his three former championship teams. In one interview he’ll praise the Spurs, and in the next he’ll draw fans’ ire for bizzare comments such as claiming Rudy Tomjanovich was better coach than Gregg Popovich, or blurting out that Hakeem Olajuwan was “20 times better” than Tim Duncan in a conversation that wasn’t even about Big Fun.
