Robert Horry isn't a one time all star though breh, and also isn't a DPOY, and an all defensive player. Ron Ron has a much better shot at the hof than Robert Horry.
Yall can debate who was better, who's got a better shot at the Hall, etc. :manny: That wasnt the point of my post.
So anyone who isn't a "star" is a role player? :dahellbill:
Nah but great role players can occassionally veer into star territory, if only for a moment :sas1:

Breh, I'm saying the criteria you listed doesn't even apply to Horry because he never made an all star game

Both Artest & Cassell were great players tho. At best Horry was the 3rd/4th best player on his teams (and that's considering the Shaq/Kobe teams didn't have much outside of those 2) :manny:

One thing the game is missing these days are the great role players. Guys like Horry, Artest, Sam Cassell. Not stars but everyone knew them and they had their own swagger about them, unique personalities helped. Maybe 1 all star appearance, never one of the best players in the league, but always played a role in outcomes and more often than not, showed up big in big moments.

Nowadays seems role players are out here tryna be superstars :mjpls:

People never bring up how he basically won a finals for Kobe/Shaq and Duncan. The lakers were down 2-1 and if they lose that game 4 they're down 3-1 and most likely lose the series. The spurs/detroit series was 2-2 in that game 5 and if the Spurs lose that, they go down 3-2 and play game 6 in Detroit (in which they lost).

why not?
in any other sport with his rings and clutch performances hed be a hall of famer

Are there any examples of players like Big shot bob in other sports? Such mediocre stats, and 0 individual accolades.

Dude averaged 7 pts a game in the playoffs , but half them points seemed to be in the last 10 seconds of the game with his team trailing. Its like dude was saving all his life force to shoot 90 pct from the 3 point line at the end of games.

Horry had talent to be more than what he was he probably gave up starting roles on other teams to compete for chips...

6'9 guy who could shoot the three and pass, great defender, clutch.

He's not a HoF'er but he's possibly the best role player ever. Stats don't do his talent justice.
