10 Greatest role players in NBA history

#1 Robert Horry - Houston Rockets/ Lakers/ Spurs

Robert Horry

Robert Horry is the only player to win multiple championships with three teams - Houston Rockets (1994, 95), Los Angeles Lakers (2000, 01, 02) and the San Antonio Spurs (03,05). He was rightfully named "Big Shot Bob" for his tendencies to knock down huge clutch shots and over the course of his 17-year career, he did almost every year in the postseason.

Horry has played in 244 Playoff games, good for third all-time only behind Tim Duncan and Fisher. Other than his ability to knock down clutch shots, Horry was able to allow teams to play small as he could shoot the long ball and had good lateral quickness for a 6-9 forward.

Every time somebody says Michael Jordan is not the greatest player of all time because Bill Russell has 11 titles, Horry is bound to come into it as a sarcastic comparison because of his seven NBA titles. Although sarcastic, Horry has earned every one of his seven titles, given what he provided to his teams.
