big shot robert horry Stories - The Dream Shake
Robert Horry may be gone (from the NBA) but not forgotten
With the close of December... we're beginning to see a lot of "best of the 2000s"/end of the decade sort of material. Which is cool. I like retrospectives. It's an analog to top-10 lists -- which is always a writer's crutch for story ideas. This time around though, it brings us back to the...
I just might have to buy a new jersey!
Was stumbling around on the Interwebs yesterday...when I ran across this gem of an article.Allow me to quote the great Robert Horry:"I don't want to retire, especially after a year like I had last year,''..."I didn't get a full season in like I wanted to see if it's really time for me to retire.

All good things.Except this.There is only one player who deserves to wear #25 with "Houston" or "Rockets" on the front of the jersey. His...
The answer is Robert Horry - there is no debate
... nonetheless, I figured I'd pump up this story as much as I can. It's a good debate if you like obvious choices:"Big Shot Bob" v. "Mr. Big Shot"I think it's quite obvious that Chauncey Billups isn't even in the same ballpark as Robert Horry. Hell, he's not even in the same league. They are not...
Yao > LeBron. There's your math lesson for the day.
Rockets v. the LeBrons tonight. Also known as "one of four nights each year when T-Mac actually tries to play defense!" T-Mac really only makes a concerted effort to play D when he's facing Kobe or LeBron. Factoring in his yearly, um, "vacations" and that's about 3-4 times each year T-Mac faces...
the Twelve Days of Christmas - Rockets Edition
Traditional Christmas songs have a tendency to be overplayed (not to mention the inherent suck-factor). I therefore present you with: The Twelve Days of Christmas (Houston Rockets/NBA selfish wishes)...On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me ...a series of blow-out victories!...
