I wished He and Cassell would've stayed with Houston, they were to take over.
Where the offseason has more buzz happens.

As worded ("which do I think of?")......honestly, all three. They ALL come to mind when thinking of Robert Horry (only the Suns---who I totally forgot he was ever a member of [for half of one season]----doesn't come to mind).

His biggest role and importance was no doubt to the Rockets, and there are several relevant factors relating to those years: they're largely his most statistically productive years (again: biggest role), first two titles, memories of him torching a disengaged Dennis Rodman in the '95 WCF.

Steady role player for the Lakers, where he added three more titles [more than he got with any other one franchise], the memorable shot against Sacramento; also more games played in a Laker uniform than that of any other one team.

The Spurs are his least productive years, but they still come sharply to mind based on a few factors: final two titles [bringing his number to 7, more than any player NOT a member of the Bill Russell Celtics], the hip-check on Nash incident in '07; also remember him going off against Phoenix in '05: in rs was <19 mpg averaging 6.0/3.6.....in 5 games against PHX in WCF he averages >31 mpg and 10.2 ppg with 7.8 rpg. I can't scratch these events from my mind (though I'd like to, having been a Suns fan at the time).
