The evaluation of players due to the number of rings on their fingers has a been long-used method to measure a stars greatness. Robert Horry, who has won seven titles during his 16 seasons in the league, is here to say those chips dont mean literal greatness.<\/p>\n
The always-blunt Horry said as much during the California Strong charity softball game on Sunday:<\/p>\n
All these other idiots who dont play basketball and never played basketball, when they say you wanna judge a guys greatness by number of championships theyre idiots, Horry told TMZ Sports.<\/p>\n
Heres the thing that people are so stupid about. They measure great players by how many championships they win. Its the stupidest thing, he said.<\/p>\n
There is a myriad of factors that revolve around the chance to win an NBA title: roster construction, coaching, chemistry, path to the playoffs, etc. Horry, whos won titles with the Houston Rockets (1994, 1995), Los Angeles Lakers (2000-02), and the San Antonio Spurs (2005, 2007), ensured to drop some names to make his case.<\/p>\n
Thats like saying Karl Malone, Charles Barkley and Patrick Ewing are not great players.<\/p>\n
Horry was fortunate to join teams that had a path to a championship and a roster built to contend for one. Saying his seven rings make him a better player than Michael Jordan (six), who catapulted the Chicago Bulls to basketball immortality, is just sheer dumb logic.<\/p>\n
