that's why they call him "big shot rob"... he delivers the goods when it mattered most, and when the san antonio spurs needed to win a pivotal game 5, robert horry delivered...
down by 2 and facing defeat, the spurs relied on the clutch shooting of horry as he hit the game-winning 3 pointer, sending the spurs to a crucial road win over the defending champs detroit pistons, and one win away from their 3rd nba title since 1999...
if you would remember, way back in 1994, horry, then an ex-houston rocket, was actually traded to detroit for sean elliott... he was even suited up to play for the pistons until they found out that elliott didn't pass his physical exam, so the trade was called off... the pistons went on to finish a dismal 20-62, while horry returned to the rockets and, later that season, won his first of 5 nba championship rings...
and now the spurs are on win away from the larry o'brien trophy... and it's all because of one big shot from big shot rob...
