Michael Jordan is a common name in the history books of the NBA. However, his most impressive feat is probably his perfect finals resume. Synonymous with clutch, His Airness was unbearable on the biggest stage.

Jordan was the come-up the Chicago Bulls desperately needed. A hunger to win coated the five-time MVPs skin. Likewise, after getting the taste of triumph, Jordan’s obsession grew. And he never left another NBA finals series.

However, while he had the 6-0 record, the Bulls weren’t invincible. And Robert Horry, who won seven championships made a case for him being a better player than the GOAT having a better finals record.

Horry is better than Michael Jordan

The Chicago Bulls were a ruthless dynasty ready to conquer the NBA world. Jordan was leading the pack and dominating in the series. However, losses are a part of the process, and His Airness lost 11 games. On the other hand, Big Shot Rob lost just nine games while winning seven NBA championships. And during his podcast, Horry had the jokes ready.

He said: “I saw this stat of me and Jordan the other day. And I was looking at it like damn, I didn’t even realize this. I lost only like ten games in the final and he lost 14. I am like I am better than Jordan. That’s what I’m talking about.”

While the comparison between Horry and Jordan may be unlikely, the seven-time champion was one of the most effective role players of all time. Like Jordan, Horry was never afraid of the big moments. The Los Angeles Lakers legend made a reputation for making clutch shots over and over.

However, luck was on Horry’s side as well. Playing for three prolific dynasties, Big Shot Rob was always competing. He was most effective with his draft team, Houston Rockets. Averaging 12 points and 6 rebounds in the playoffs, his reputation began to take shape.

Even though just a role player, Horry was the one teams looked to when the pressure was the highest. His unique shot-making ability made him a crucial part of the best teams. Without his contributions off the bench, the dynasty probably wouldn’t have thrived. A late-game assassin, Horry was the savior in the shadows.
