Yep. Robert Horry has been on 7 NBA Championship teams.
Shaquille O'Neal has been on 4.
Bob Pettit has been on 1 (but played for 3 other titles vs Boston).


Wonder though, is Horry one of the "NBA's 50 Greatest Players" (like Pettit, Pete, and Shaq) ??

Has Horry been an 11-time NBA All-Star every year he played (like Pettit)?
Has Horry been one of only TWO players in NBA history to average more than 20 points a game in every season he played (like Pettit) ?

You left off Glen Davis who also won 1 with Boston...

Nope, nope, and nope. Just pointing out your error in saying Bama had just King and Sprewell when Horry is probably the best player Bama has put out. Here are some of Horry's accomplishments in the NBA:

- 7 championships (most of any who didn't play for the '60's Celtics)
- 1 of 3 players to win consecutive championships with 2 teams
- 1 of 2 players to win on 3 different teams
- Most 3 pointers all-time in the NBA Finals with 56
- Most 3pt field goals made without a miss in the playoffs (7)
- 7 steals (NBA Finals record) in GM2 of the 1995 Finals
- 1st player to have 100 steals, 100 blocks and 100 threes in 1 season
- 9th all time in playoffs 3pt Field Goals made
- Top 15 in steals and blocks in playoffs
- Scored 21 points in 4th/OT in Game 5 of the 2005 NBA Finals (prominent ESPN columnist Bill Simmons said of the performance, "Horry's Game 5 ranks alongside MJ's Game 6 in 1998, Worthy's Game 7 in 1988, Frazier's Game 7 in 1970 and every other clutch Finals performance over the years")

Magic Johnson said Horry was "one of the 10 best clutch players in league history."

He's not a Hall of Famer but the dude could ball...
