Horry's game-winning shot

Robert Horry is the least glamorous name on this list, but he is also a seven-time NBA champion and one of the best clutch players and winners in NBA history.

His first finals clutch moment came in game 3 of the 1995 NBA Finals. Horry scored a 3-pointer to increase the Rockets' lead to four points, with 14.1 seconds left in the game. Houston won that game and continued to sweep the Orlando Magic and win the title.

He did it again in 2001, this time in the purple and gold of the Lakers. In game 3 of that finals series, Horry opened a four-point lead, 47.1 seconds to go, with another 3-pointer. He ended up that game with four consecutive free throws and gave the Lakers the lead in the series against the 76ers.

Another crucial shot from Horry came in game 5 of the 2005 NBA Finals. Horry followed the fourth quarter of three made 3-pointers with a game-winning 3-pointer, with 5.8 left in overtime, and gave the San Antonio Spurs a 3-2 lead against the Pistons.

Robert Horry didn’t just make his way into this list, he earned it. Almost every one of his 56 3-pointers in the finals has a story behind it. He might not be remembered as one of the best, but will surely be an example of a true winner.
