Yeah, but everybody loves to hate Big Shot Bob… I mean, look at his nickname. You can’t tell me there aren’t some Sacramento fans still bitter about Vlade’s unintentional outlet pass — right into the waiting arms of ole Robert.

His legend has simply grown over time.

I’ve seen that hip check over and over. I’m not gonna say that Horry didn’t get a good lick on him. The reaction by Nash afterward with his extra arm flinging made it look worse. It wasn’t that long ago James Posey body checked Kirk Hinrich and his name is hardly mention for cheap shot artist. He also took out Luol Deng and broke Tyrus Thomas nose.

Michael, you are correct. If West sets that pick on Horry, nothing at all is said.

I seriously do not understand the outcry over this. Horry leans into him, but it looks like he barely makes contact. I can see if it was a real malicious bump and Horry put his entire body into him, then I could see it. And how does Horry get the tag of dirty player after one hip check. People have played dirty their entire careers and don’t get called out for it, yet one hip check and Horry is now a cheap shot artist.

I agree, it did not look like a dirty play at all. As a matter of fact, it look like your every day pick. Unfortunately, David West’s sore back, magnified the extent of the pick. To me, it looked clean.
