NBA: Ranking the 30 best players to win NBA Finals with 2 or more teams

Best NBA players to win NBA Finals with two or more teams: 18. Robert Horry

Robert Horry is possibly the poster boy for championship role players who have won everywhere. He is often used as the other side of the either-or when comparing historically great players: would you rather be Charles Barkley and never win or Robert Horry and never be the star?

As great as the “Round Mound of Rebound” was, this is a disservice to Big Shot Rob. Horry may have never made an All-Star game but he played like a star during the Finals. He set a Finals record with the Houston Rockets for most steals in a single game (seven) and also hit numerous clutch shots en route to the only two championships in Rockets history.

In his four seasons with the Rockets Horry averaged 10.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.4 steals, 1.2 blocks and shot 35.6 percent on 2.7 3-point attempts per game. Speaking of Barkley, Horry was part of the trade package sent to the Phoenix Suns to bring Barkley to Houston. Horry had a notably rocky relationship with coach Danny Ainge which led to him being quickly shipped to the Los Angeles Lakers. Horry was a key reserve for all three of the titles won by the Shaq and Kobe Lakers.

After winning titles with the Rockets and the Lakers, Horry would move on to the San Antonio Spurs. His late-game heroics were not a thing of the past, even as his role diminished. He would go on a scorching run of 21 points in the fourth quarter and overtime against the Detroit Pistons in 2005, helping to lock down his first of two championships with the Spurs. Winning his seventh championship gave him the most any player not part of the 1960s Celtics. While he will not go down as a star, Horry was certainly a star role player and was the definition of clutch.
