Seven-time NBA champ Robert Horry played with some of the game’s greatest bigs over the course of his 16 seasons in the Association. From Hakeem Olajuwon, to Shaquille O’Neal, to Timmy Duncan.
But which one was the best?
Appearing on the “All the Smoke” podcast with Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson, Big Shot Bob’s answer was easy: “Dream is No. 1. No question.”

Dream’s number one by far. Nobody wants to talk about it… He’s a really quiet guy so we try to veer away from him. We don’t talk about him. But to me, if you look at what he put together, Defensive Player of the Year… MVP in one season, all-time leading shot blocker… His body of work was just incredible.
Horry spent the first four years of his career playing alongside Hakeem in Houston, winning back-to-back championships in 1993-94 and 1994-95.
Perhaps the most skilled center to ever play, Olajuwon was a natural at his position. And to think he didn’t pick up a basketball until he was 15-years-old…
