A recent spirited discussion among my friends stemmed from this controversial statement: “Robert Horry is a top five clutch player of all time.” Two heavily debated sides, lack of compromising, and 10 personal attacks on fanhood later, we agreed to disagree on the definition of clutch.
Clutch is an intangible, butterflies-in-the-stomach type of category. It all comes down to a feeling. Even on our weekend warrior basketball teams there are players you trust to have the ball in game deciding possessions.
To me, there are few players that imbibe confidence more than Robert Horry. The list is short, and definitely sweet: Larry Bird, Michael Jordan, and Kobe Bryant (modern era).
To some, putting an average player in this list, above such greats as Reggie Miller, can be sacrilege.
