Deprived of Ultimate Honor Despite 7 Rings, NBA Veteran Cherishes Shaquille O?Neal-Triggered ?Hall of Fame? Moment

Shaquille O?Neal is a 4x NBA champion and widely considered the most ?dominant? player that the NBA has ever seen. He was one of the few players who could instill fear into his opponents whenever he played. However, he is also an incredibly kind and intelligent human who has grown his net worth exponentially after his retirement from the NBA.

In a recent social media post, the 7-foot NBA legend gives his bold opinion on a former NBA star who was denied of basketball?s ultimate honor, the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame (or NBA Hall of Fame).

Robert Horry, who retired from the NBA in 2008, was elated by the former Laker star?s support. He thanks Shaquille O?Neal on his Instagram story, ?Coming from you @shaq that?s my Hall of Fame moment. Much love my brotha.?.

Robert Horry is now a commentator for ?SpectatorSportsNet? for the Lakers and also has his own Spotify podcast channel called ?Big Shot Bob Pod with Robert Horry? where he discusses everything related to the NBA.

However, during his playing days, he was known as a ?clutch? shooter. He played alongside some legendary NBA teams which won him his seven championships. He won two with the Houston Rockets, two with the San Antonio Spurs, and three with the Los Angeles Lakers.?

Robert Horry deprived of ultimate basketball honour

Despite winning a staggering seven NBA Championships in his 17-year-long NBA career, he only averaged 7 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game. However, he was a great ?impact? player who made ?clutch? shots when his team needed him the most.

In the decades-long debate of whether NBA Championships equate to a player?s greatness more or the player?s actual contribution (through statistics) to the NBA team, Robert Horry’s ‘Hall Of Fame’ eligibility is still doubtful. Either way, being a seven-time NBA Championship is an achievement that very few NBA players can boast about.
