Ice Cube: The basketball world really does hold Charles Barkley career over Robert Horry. The way he's treated and the way what he means to basketball. At the end of the day, the fans get it right. The players who were star players that didn't get a championship are treated like superstars.

Mike Bibby on Lakers-Kings series in 2002: We like they were getting our champagne ready in the locker room to celebrate winning the Western Conference and you know we kind of sh*t the bed. I still, the Robert Horry shot… I still can't watch it… Like I watch the highlights and stuff up until that… I can't watch it. I haven't watched it. I just won't watch it. Just like cuz I know it was taken from us. That was our championship and we went to we went to game seven. It just shows you that we are a better team. If you watch some of those highlights, you could see like Shaq's face, Kobe's face, rest in peace, they're like it's over. I mean, you can see in their faces just staring at the ground and but game seven, we go to game seven, kind of sh*t the bed in game seven, two for 13 from three, under 50% from the free throw line and we go to overtime. We end up losing in overtime and they interview me after the game. Me and Kobe are getting interviewed after the game. I don't think I've seen them ever interview a losing player. And they're interviewing me and Kobe. The guy I mean he starts asking me questions first. I'm pissed. I just I don't even remember what he asked me.

Robert Horry tells TMZ Sports he knows he fits the criteria to be in the Hall of Fame ... but at the end of the day, he's not sweating it if the powers that be think otherwise. We caught up with Horry out at LAX this week ... and asked him all about how he's still waiting for his spot among the all-time greats.

While his stat line isn't comparable to Michael Jordan's or Larry Bird's, Horry says people need to realize the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame highlights more than just one's NBA career. "It's about your basketball career not what you did in the NBA," he said. "I know what I did throughout my career as a basketball player, those are Hall of Fame stats."

Jorge Sierra: Jaylen Brown (age 28) passed Kevin Garnett in playoff scoring tonight. He's No. 42 in history. He also moved ahead of Robert Horry in three-pointers for No. 17.

Samaki Walker: Now, mind you—at that point, I’m thinking: “Now I gotta kill him.” Because you crossed the line. Look, I’m a cool dude. I live my life with principle. I’m not about bravado—I’m secure within myself. But when you cross a boundary with me, then I have to make a decision as a man. Kobe made a calculated decision. I was the new guy on the team. At that time, Shaq was hurt, missing multiple games. This was the second year after we won our first NBA championship, heading into that second run. We were hitting some adversity—team was tired, vets were banged up. Truth is—Kobe was mad at the team. He couldn’t go at Shaq or the vets like Robert Horry. So he went at me, the new guy, to send a message to the team. That’s what Kobe used to do—he would do something to make a statement to everybody else.

On a recent episode of “NBA Today,” Horry gifted an 8-year-old child George and his father Nick a new signed jersey after they lost one when their house burned down, via ESPN’s Malika Andrews. It was truly a touching moment for George, who also got to shoot around on the ESPN set with NBA analyst and former Miami Heat player Udonis Haslem. Losing a Lakers jersey may be something minor to most, but these things can mean so much sentimentally and to have Horry himself gift it personally just means that much more.

During Spectrum SportsNet's postgame show following the team's 107-99 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday., he argued the Lakers have a "big four" thanks to Hachimura (at 5:28). “This is the big three, but there’s a big four,” Horry said. “I’m like, RH (Hachimura), there’s a big four. We don’t talk about RH, and if I talk about this RH I’m talking about Rui. ... Tonight he had 15 points. He was the best on the team in the +19. But yet y’all forget about RH."

Rob Jenners: You're gonna end up paying Luka Doncic I mean insane money to try and get him out of Dallas but I don't foresee a scenario where he leaves Dallas. Robert Horry: Do you remember we had the same scenario about two or three years ago we were talking about Giannis, like the Lakers was playing a long game to get Giannis… I think he signed that huge deal.. It's either these Laker lovers who just trying to throw rumors out there or these people who are just sitting around just saying what insane sh*t can we say. Jenners: It's the dumbest thing we can drum up, how about Luka Doncic to the Lakers, there you go. Robert Horry: “You got to think about this, Luka is gonna be how old in what like 31, 32? Jenners: By the time his deal's up? Horry: Yeah. Jenners: Yeah maybe. Horry: He ain’t the best defensive player now and that’s the Lakers problem. You got to have some athletic guys that can play some defense and Luka, he can score the best of them but we also know you got to take beers out of his hands cuz he ain't the one that stay in shape… He ain't gonna be what you need probably.”

Robert Horry on Anthony Edwards’ take on MJ era: ‘For me I think he just, he was trying to be comic relief now because we that you think about it, you just slapped Vince Carter in the face you just slapped Karl Malone in the face, you just slapped Charles Barkley, you just slapped Shawn Kemp in the face… These are just some of the guys I can say off the top of my head… Then he said ‘I didn't watch back in the day’. Magic Johnson was out of the League when you was f*cking born, MJ was out of the League when you was born, so why you even commenting about MJ? So I just laugh. He’s is comedy relief when it comes to certain things because he put himself in that position after the crazy sh*t he said, like he's going to be the go-to guy of Team USA. How do you think you can be the go-to guy with LeBron, KD, and especially Steph?

Scoop B: Now that you're going to be in [Hall of fame] is there any other of your cohorts in the Lakers purple and gold that you’d also like to see being inducted? Cooper: Of course. I think Byron Scott, Norm Nixon should definitely be in there, hopefully they will be considered there in the future. Robert Horry, one of the players. You know what I found out that the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame isn’t about what you did on the court most of the time; it is but it’s your contribution to the game. Giving back to the game in any form or fashion.

Rudy Tomjanovich: I really believe [Horry] belongs in the Naismith Hall of Fame. He’s proven it time and time again. He’s made so many teams champions playing a role, and that’s so important. It isn’t about just the stats. It’s about getting results. I pray that one day he’s going to be able to stand up there and accept that honor.
