Horry was known for making big shots, but was actually a career 34% 3-point shooter (35% during his time with the Spurs) who had a knack for being on the right team at the right time and lucked his way to 8 championships.
Bonner is a consistent threat from long range, 42% career 3 pointers (42% with the Spurs).
They both averaged between 6.5 and 7 points per game over their careers and both were average defenders who were not spectacular 1 on 1, but could play solid defense within a strong system (like the Spurs). Horry was 3 inches shorter and 20 pounds lighter than Bonner.
This is the problem with your analysis. While mine is based on facts and reality, yours is skewed by a nickname- "Big Shot" Rob, when actually Bonner is a much more consistent shooter that serves the Spurs purposes more effectively.
Lay off Bonner. He's not that bad. Dude drives a 99 Pontiac Grand Prix. He's no high-flying athlete, but he's got enough strength, size and intelligence to get under opponents' skin. So he's plenty serviceable on defence. Plus, he's a rare big that can shoot- a critical attribute for opening up driving lanes for Parker.
You keep making these comments as if you are some kind of basketball genius, but I guess the nuances of the game (like having an unclogged lane free of shot blockers for Parker to operate) seem to skim right over your head.
And your criticism of Pop? Laughable. Pop has more knowledge about basketball strategy and adjustments in his little finger nail than most casual fans have in their entire body.
LeBron is clearly the best player, but I think it's funny that someone didn't vote for him.
It's probably someone just messing with LeBron because he knows LeBron will cry and whine like a little **** that it wasn't unanimous.
I appreciate LeBron for his bball skills, but personally I think he's a little whiny crybaby who schemed to manufacture a team of SuperFriends so that winning a championship would be easy.
Wow, what an ego! It's fine to want to be the best, it's ok to get upset when you don't win, it's fine to complain quietly to your BFF DWade (I sure he thinks you're the bestest defender too), it's admirable to use the "snub" as fuel to get better. But what makes LeBron such a **** is that when he says these things he comes across as a whiny little baby who doesn't know where reality ends and his self-delusional ego begins.
I've never heard any of the greats complain once about stuff like this. Can you see Jordan being a whiny ****? Bird? Magic? Malone? That's part of what made them great. They were tough, hard-nosed players who worked hard and didn't expect things to be handed to them. They didn't conspire to create a team of Super Friends so that winning would be easy. They didn't whine when they didn't get their way.
By the way LeBronna, lots of players have guarded 1-5. That shows how little you know about NBA history.
And guarding 5s in today's perimeter-oriented NBA is a lot different than it used to be. There's what, 1 or 2 dominant offensive centers in the league right now and LeBron does not guard them. I'd like to see LeBron try to guard Shaq, the Dream, Ewing... They'd eat his tattooed ass alive. Shaq would average 40 and 20 over LBJ without even having to jump.
LeBron is partially right though: he is the only player in NBA history to have flopped in front of 5 positions.
You have some really unhealthy, deep-seated hatred for the Red Rocket. You should seek professional counseling.

Put on your big boy britches son!
The first was when, in response to another article where LeFlop denied he flops, I wrote (and then read) that LeFlop has an extensive flopfolio.
Was it hard enough to cause a 260 pound LeBron to slide 20 feet across the floor?
Probably not.
But this isn't the best example to use if you're trying to prove LeBron is a flopper. This will not make it into LeBron's top 50 flopfolio.
That should be fun.
LeBron may actually be called for a foul or two.

And they'll all be filled by bent-over dudes! LOL!
The way they stand is gayer than Jason Collins.
All it takes is a LeBron and a couple of other decent players.
