OT Robert Horry - great read

[Rastapopoulos]

Check it out - trust me on this one. Just to whet your appetite:

However, as dominant as we were in that three-peat run, I feel we could’ve done more if it weren’t for egos and complacency. Honestly, I left the Lakers with so much hatred for that team.
...
My first game back in Los Angeles against the Lakers, they had a thing before the game to present me with a special jersey. Everybody was all smiles. They parade me out there at the Staples Center and I had to act all happy. And I was happy for the fans, and for what we achieved. But if you understand one thing about me, understand this — I’m a guy who is constantly seeking motivation. That’s how you get ice water in your veins. So I remember looking at the smiling people from the Lakers’ front office and thinking, “Man, you just wait. I’m gonna break ya’ll hearts.”
I actually have five NBA titles thanks to the Lakers. Three from playing with the team, and two from them showing me the door.

I get Horry and A.C. Green mixed up. Same thing. Green liked to give dirty looks at people.

Green was a virgin so that explains the dirty looks

Try to alter AC Green's chosen path?

Think we could sign Horry as an assistant coach? He sounds like a good culture, no nonsense kind of guy.

Great Article. He was a killer. Totally dependable. He probably owns an oil well down there.
