Vancouver Grizzly Fan
AKA Vancouver Baller
We all know that Horry isn't on the same level as Bird, Magic, Wilt, Jordan, Thomas, Russell, etc. Horry is without a doubt if not the best then one of the best role players this league has ever saw.
One thing he did do was make contributions and clutch performances to seven championship teams. Horry also did alot of things that didn't show up on the box score.

Clutch Performances
Horry nailed a jumper with 6.5 seconds left to give Houston a 9493 win over San Antonio in front of over 35,000 at the Alamodome.[11]
Horry drained all seven of his three-point shots. However, this proved to be not enough as the Lakers lost Game 2 103101 and ultimately the series 41.
With the series tied at 11, the Sixers were within one point with under a minute to play and with Shaquille O'Neal on the bench having fouled out for the Lakers. Brian Shaw found Horry in the corner and he drilled the three with 47.1 seconds left to give the Lakers what proved to be an insurmountable four-point lead. The Sixers never recovered.
Down by two with 10.2 seconds left, Kobe Bryant drove on Ruben Patterson and kicked the ball to Horry, who hit a game-winning three.
The Kings led 9997 with two seconds left when center Vlade Divac knocked the ball out of the paint after Shaquille O'Neal missed a putback layup. The ball came to Horry, who launched a game-winning three-pointer as time expired to give the Lakers a 10099 victory. Instead of going back to Sacramento down 1-3, the shot tied the series at 2-2 and allowed the Lakers to defeat the Kings in 7 games on their way to a third straight championship.[12]
Horry inbounded the ball to Manu Ginóbili who was cornered by two Pistons defenders. Ginobili returned the ball to Horry on the left wing, who then hit a three-pointer with 5.9 seconds left to give the San Antonio Spurs a 9695 victory and a 32 series lead heading into Game 6. Horry scored 21 points in fourth quarter and overtime to carry the struggling Spurs.
The Spurs led by one with 30 seconds left when Horry hit a game-securing three-point shot, handing the Spurs their fifth straight playoff victory in Denver.
I'm not saying Horry is a first ballot but, should be considered for his "Contributions" for the 7 rings he got.
