The retired NBA players often speak on the state of the game today. Some speak with praise, while others are critical. This tendency to comment sparked a heated moment between two former players. Now, one of them has clapped back. The ex-teammate of Shaquille O’Neal shed light on a surprising emotional side of the player who attacked him. The candid remarks provide a glimpse into the emotional turmoil that can sometimes accompany a successful career on the court.
It’s not every day that a fellow player dissects the emotional well-being of a colleague. But that’s exactly what happened when the 7-time champion, a former teammate of Shaq and Magic Johnson, offered some surprising insights.

Robert Horry is one of the few players to remain undefeated in the finals. Now, the 52-year-old discusses a variety of things on his podcast ‘Big Shot Bob’. Recently, amidst discussions about Anthony Davis’ contract extension and prospects for the upcoming NBA season, a more intriguing dialogue emerged – one centered around former Washington Wizards star Gilbert Arenas.
Agent Zero has been very outspoken in his Vlad TV interviews and podcast appearances. It seems he has rubbed some people the wrong way, including Robert Horry. Speaking about Arenas, the Los Angeles Lakers legend said, ” You know, this is…a guy who’s mad at the world.”
This honest observation peels back the layers of Arenas’ emotions and exposes a lingering sense of dissatisfaction. Horry’s candid commentary delved deeper into Arenas’ career, acknowledging his prowess as a prolific scorer but hinting at an absence of other essentials.
“He didn’t win a championship…never done anything but score a lot of points. You know, he wasn’t a defensive player,” said Horry. While highlighting his on-court achievements, it subtly underscores the missing piece in Arenas’ trophy case.
Notably, Arenas once outright dismissed the validity of Horry’s rings. Agent Zero claimed they meant less since he was never the main man on the winning team.

Surprisingly, Rob still asserted that there was no personal animosity. “Yeah, I’m cool with him, you know…I have no beef with him,” Rob further clarified.
Horry added that once “You get a nickname, you’ve made it in this league…agent zero.”
This tidbit provides context to the player’s perspective while smoothly transitioning the narrative. Big Shot Bob played with two of the most iconic nicknames in the NBA – Superman / Big Diesel and of course, the inimitable Magic.
