Heinsohn is one of the all-time Celtic legends, having in mind that he continued to be involved with team as a coach and is currently doing a terrific job commentating Celtics games with a unique style and energy. He was a high scoring forward who immediately found his place in a loaded Celtics team upon his arrival.
He won rookie of the year averaging almost 17 and 10 and never looked back. He was in double figures for all of his 9 years in the league, with career averages of 18 and 9. Celtics all time leading scorer, Havlicek was a key cog in two Celtics generations. His steal which clinched the series against the 76ers in the eastern conference finals is one of the greatest and most replayed moments in NBA history. C Jones was the glue and energy guy for that team.
His averages were never impressive, 7. At the beginning, he was a backup point guard and an understudy to Bob Cousy, but later took his place once he. He won 8 rings in first 8 out of total 9 nine seasons, doing his job as an organizer on offense and a pit bull on defence, where he always took the task of stopping opposing star guards.
Satch Sanders was a role player who spent 13 years with the Celtics, mainly taking the task of rebounding and defending, which he did gracefully and effectively. He retired with modest career stats of 9 and 6, but fans in Boston recognize that those are not an indication of his importance. Robert Horry was a perfect example of guy always being in the right place at the right time. He was a member of the 94 and 95 Houston team which capitalized on the fact that Jordan took a break from basketball and captured 2 championships on the back of their talisman in Hakeem Olajuwon.
Later, Horry found himself a member of a Lakers dynasty in the early s. Led by their legendary Shaq and Kobe duo, Lakers 3-peated in dominant fashion and are still the last team to accomplish that feat. That was, however, not the end for Horry who went on to perform for another s dynasty in San Antonio, where he got himself 2 more rings to cap off one of the strangest and most impressive resumes.
Although never a star, he did his part in each of those championships, as he was one of the deadliest shooters and playoff performers of his generation. Whenever he was on the court with game on the line, you could always count on him to deliver.
In his best season for the team, he averaged a double-double— He went on to help the Celtics to seven championship titles in his nine-year career, throughout which he was a proven role player. He was a scorer of the bench who thrived in big playoff moments. He averaged 13 and 5 for his career, and having in mind the amount of stars he played with, that is highly impressive.
Horry was a great role-player on championship-winning teams and had multiple moments where he came up clutch for the team. Robert Horry has won 7 rings having played 16 seasons in the NBA. He has the most rings by a player since the s. As per Horry, his second ring with the Houston Rockets was the most special one of his career, given that his team was seeded sixth in what was considered a very tough Western Conference.
The game went into overtime. After Shaquille O'Neal fouled out, Kobe Bryant led a late run to seal a victory for the visiting team. Horry finished with 17 points in 37 minutes, his career-high in the Finals. He averaged 7. Could the Lakers defy all odds and three-peat in ? The answer was yes, but not before some tough early-round series.
In the Western Conference Finals, the Lakers went up against the toughest challenge of their three-year dynasty in the Sacramento Kings. The Lakers staged a huge point comeback in Game 4 of the Conference Finals.
It all came down to the final play of the game, with the Lakers down 2. Several shots around the rim were missed, and the ball got tipped out to a wide-open Horry for three—who nailed it. After the Lakers barely got past the Kings, the Nets in the Finals were no match for them. They swept New Jersey, completing their unbelievable three-year run. Horry, who only averaged 8 points in the Finals, had just captured his fifth ring. The Spurs were pushed to the brink in every playoff series, especially against Detroit, who won it all the previous year.
He scored 21 points in the fourth quarter and hit the game-winner in OT—a phenomenal display. He would only play one more year after that, but he had one more title run with the Spurs in his tank.
