Quotes from Robert Horry

Athletes love challenges, and golf is something you can never master.

An NBA star is a role player. Your role is to score a lot of points; your role is to get a lot of rebounds.

You know what's funny, I really hate Par 3's. I feel like you have to be perfect from jumpstreet. But on Par 5's, you can mess up a little bit, but you still have time to adjust before you get to the hole and still end up with a birdie or a par.

Back when I got in the league, it wasn't a sexy game. It was more of a 'beat you down' game - you know, make sure you were strong.

A lot of guys... they want to take the big shot, and they talk about it because they're scared of it. You never heard me talk about it. You heard a lot of guys talk about it. But you don't have to talk about it, because if you have the confidence in yourself, and your team believes in you, you don't fear anything. You don't fear losing.

If you're in big-time situations all the time - like for me, high school was big-time situations, college, big time situations - you adapt.

I don't worry about being bothered by the media. Either I'm going to talk or not talk.

I think Phil Jackson started that feud. It happened many times that after team practice he would say, 'Kobe said this about Shaq, and Shaq said that about Kobe... ' We couldn't believe how could that happen, because just the day before we saw them together, jumping on one another.

The Dream is one of the best centers to play this game.

My favorite champions is the 1995 championship with the Rockets. We were the sixth seed without home court advantage.

Everybody has to do their role very well to win a championship.

Pressure can burst a pipe, or pressure can make a diamond.

It's the playoffs, man. If you don't get excited about the playoffs, you don't even deserve to be playing basketball.

I get excited for the regular season also, but it's just added excitement when the playoffs start.

A lot of guys, when the ball is coming, sit there and look at the clock; then it makes you rush your shot.

It's hard to close people out, regardless whether you're sweeping them or ending the series, period. It's hard.

You know, pass now to pinch post, cut, shoot the shot. Do things to facilitate the offense. That's what I did in Alabama.

You can't convince people of certain things. You let them think what they want to think.

To me, I have always been a Rick Adelman fan. I felt like if I had been in his systems, I probably would have been a better player than I was because if you look at his system, it was ideal for me.

I had a teammate whose motto was, 'If I make a million dollars, I must spend a million dollars.' I was like, 'If I make a million dollars, I'm hoping I can keep a million dollars.'

Pressure can make a diamond. Pressure makes me play better because I don't want to let my teammates or my fans down, and that makes me play extra hard.

You've got to be fearless.

It's huge just to get a game in the NBA Finals.
