He has won 6 championships and you can say it was due to the great players he had around him and it was, but without him at least half of those championships never would of been won. Do you think the Spurs could of lost Game 5 against the Pistons and then beat Detroit at home in Game 6 and won Game 7 without his game winning 3 pointer or 24 points in the 4th quarter and overtime? What about the 3 pointer to win against the Spurs when he was with the Lakers if he misses Lakers are down 1-3 instead they go back to San Antonio tied up at 2-2. In Houston they where down 1-3 and Horry of course came up with HUGE SHOTS down the stretch. He has ice water in his veins and has hit shots that without the teams probably never would have won a championship. I am not saying he is a lock or should be in, but at least after he retires and has waited the 10 years I believe that is the waiting time he should at least be on the ballat for possible candidates. Of course his shot today wasn't a huge shot they would still have a tied series and Spurs still have home court, but it basically put the nail in the coffin on Denver having a shot at winning the series. He has hit other big shots in playoff games that where similar scenarios like in Game 2 against the Blazers with the Lakers he hit the game winning 3 then in Game 3 put them away with a 3 pointer again. It just amazes me how he can always hit those shots in those situations almost every time. Maybe he shouldn't be in the hall of fame, but any guy that has played like that in those situations deserves to get at least a nod from the Hall of Fame saying we know how important you where to those championship teams you get our nod of getting a chance at being selected by your peers.
