Mike Bibby on Lakers-Kings series in 2002: We like they were getting our champagne ready in the locker room to celebrate winning the Western Conference and you know we kind of sh*t the bed. I still, the Robert Horry shot… I still can’t watch it… Like I watch the highlights and stuff up until that… I can’t watch it. I haven’t watched it. I just won’t watch it. Just like cuz I know it was taken from us. That was our championship and we went to we went to game seven. It just shows you that we are a better team. If you watch some of those highlights, you could see like Shaq’s face, Kobe’s face, rest in peace, they’re like it’s over. I mean, you can see in their faces just staring at the ground and but game seven, we go to game seven, kind of sh*t the bed in game seven, two for 13 from three, under 50% from the free throw line and we go to overtime. We end up losing in overtime and they interview me after the game. Me and Kobe are getting interviewed after the game. I don’t think I’ve seen them ever interview a losing player. And they’re interviewing me and Kobe. The guy I mean he starts asking me questions first. I’m pissed. I just I don’t even remember what he asked me.

Robert Horry tells TMZ Sports he knows he fits the criteria to be in the Hall of Fame … but at the end of the day, he’s not sweating it if the powers that be think otherwise. We caught up with Horry out at LAX this week … and asked him all about how he’s still waiting for his spot among the all-time greats. -via TMZ.com / June 1, 2025
While his stat line isn’t comparable to Michael Jordan’s or Larry Bird’s, Horry says people need to realize the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame highlights more than just one’s NBA career. “It’s about your basketball career not what you did in the NBA,” he said. “I know what I did throughout my career as a basketball player, those are Hall of Fame stats.” -via TMZ.com / June 1, 2025
