Robert Keith Horry (/ˈɒri/ ORR-ee; born August 25, 1970) is an American former professional basketball player and current sports commentator. Seven times a National Basketball Association (NBA) champion in his 16-season career, he is widely considered one of the greatest[under discussion] clutch performers and winners in NBA history.[1]

He was given the nicknames "Big Shot Rob"[a] for his clutch shooting in important games[3][4] and "Cheap Shot Rob" for dirty play.[5][6][7]

Horry is one of four NBA players to win championships with three teams: two with the Houston Rockets, three with the Los Angeles Lakers, and two with the San Antonio Spurs.[8][9][10] He holds NBA records for most steals in a Finals game and for most three-point shots made in a playoff game without a miss.

Horry now works as a commentator on Spectrum SportsNet for the Lakers.
