    If he had said Dream was better than Tim, even if he said Dream was flat out better, nobody would have a problem. He didn't have to say "ten times".
  • @DaxSports1
    I think you guys are misinterpreting what he's saying. Robert is admitting he's biased towards dream because Hakeem was a mentor who taught him life lessons. His relationship with tim was strictly basketball.
  • @SiriusV21
    Dream might be better, but not ten times better. Come on now.
  • @tcameron6029
    TIM DONCAN IS ONE OF THE GREATEST TO EVER PLAY THE GAME !!!!!!!!!!!
  • @rodneyhigh2840
    He said 20x better but it’s not a player 5x better than Timmy

    Despite "Big Shot Rob" is indifferent to San Antonio nowadays, there's no doubt his presence and contributions are so invaluable during his time there. Simply put: Without his G5 2005 Finals heroics, there's a higher chance of no 3rd Title for San Antonio. He and Mario Elie infused toughness and nastiness to the Spurs they acquired from winning consecutive Titles in Houston. And it's a bit disheartening despite his accolades, it seems his input was not well-accepted. He once cited they could have five (5) Titles in a row should the 0.4 shot didn't happen while he quipped the Spurs should have stayed big against the Mavericks like what the Heat did in 2006 Finals. Mike Munroe wrote an article about how Pop and the Spurs parted ways with Horry unpleasantly. IIRC, there was a funeral they attended. Pop and other Spurs reps were there with Horry, who that time (2008) a free agent. Horry said Pop will contact him about a possible contract or job capacity within the organization. Pop didn't called. No team expressed interest that led him to retire after 16 clutch-filled Seasons. "Dream" 10x better than Big Fundamental is an exaggeration. His explanation at least create a disclaimer. Let's face the fact some NBA players didn't like the ho-hum, low key atmosphere of San Antonio. And despite not winning consecutively, the fact they've won on five separate occasions is impressive in itself. And no doubt, Horry and Elie did their great part to make it happen, giving the Spurs confidence their system and culture is viable despite respective chagrins.

    Tom Chambers dunking on Mark Jackson would of been the most disrespectful poster to sign
  • @jomuski6591
    Why the air quotes before "changed the game"
  • Last I checked they consider Abdul-Jabbar Legend too so what's wrong with Bernard King he was a hugely talented player a bucket waiting to happen so all respect to Bernard King
  • It's still a ridiculous statement to make. 10 times better? Hell nah. For me Duncan is in much top 10 and Hakeem is at number 12 all time for me. Both phenomenal all time legends but Horry was tripping with that comment, I remember when he said it on the Jump.
  • I've noticed a lot of these players really don't understand how good dream was because that American myth machine got them buying their own hype
  • @emblem2425
    10x is so outlandish that Horry's explanation totally makes sense.
  • @curtisthomas3598
    Thank you Robert for the Bernard King reference. That guy was a beast.
  • @McTrickery
    I fuckin love nba behind the scene stories.
  • They always asking about their top 5 players when honestly their opinion on the top 5 best teammates sounds hella interesting if they’ll be like what Horry had to say bout Dream or what RJ had to say about Kidd
  • Top 10 no particular order Duncan, Jordan, LeBron, Kobe, Shaq, Magic, Kareem, Wilt, Mr. Russell, Bird/Curry! Dream there hanging out with the Barkley’s, Clyde’s & KD’s of the world on the benchl!!!!! DID SOMEONE SAY BIAS?????????????😂🤣😏😏😏😏💯
