In his 16-year career, Horry, 53, got to play on three of the best NBA teams to have ever been put together.
After the Houston Rockets picked the ex-Alabama standout at No. 11 in 1992, he won back-to-back championships alongside Hakeem Olajuwon between 1994-1995.
He then landed on the fabled three-peat Los Angeles Lakers, sharing the court with Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal.
And in 2003, the forward joined the San Antonio Spurs dynasty built around Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, and Tony Parker – with whom he claimed another two titles.
Only members of the Bill Russell-era Boston Celtics added more championship rings to their trophy cabinet than Horry.
And the NBA icon holds each of them very dear to this day – so much so they are stored in a secured place only he can unlock.
“I keep my rings in a safe deposit box,” Horry, who became known as Big Shot Rob thanks to his clutch shooting, told DailyMail.com.
“I’m the only one with a key.”
All in all, Horry played in 244 playoff games.
Only three NBA players have made more postseason appearences – Duncan (251), Derek Fisher (259), and LeBron James (282).
He now shares his basketball knowledge with NBA fans, serving as an analyst and commentator on Spectrum SportsNet for the Lakers.
TV viewers will also be able to watch Horry test his willpower on a competition show Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test soon.
The series puts participants through a number of Special Ops challenges.
Horry stars in Season 2 alongside Blac Chyna, Dez Bryant, and JoJo Siwa, among others.
