Robert Horry can't find his seven championship rings

By J.E. Skeets

Misplacing one ring I can see. You left it sitting on top of the refrigerator after washing the dishes or digging around in the garden. Happens all the time, no big deal.

Losing two rings? It's more of a stretch of the imagination, sure, but maybe you took 'em off before showering and they accidentally fell behind the toilet. I don't know, slippery ceramic or something. It's possible.

But seven rings, Robert Horry(notes)? You "lost" seven NBA championship rings! How'd you do that? No, no, I'm not even mad; that's ... that's just amazing.

Following a videoconference with NBA greats Robert Horry, Dominique Wilkins and Bernard King about the most amazing moments of their careers, Horry admitted that he doesn’t know the exact whereabouts of his seven championship rings.

"Honestly, I don't know where they are right now!" Horry started, laughing. "I just moved, so I think that they're in a box somewhere in my house. The movers weren't supposed to touch it, but they did. I used to keep them in a jewelry box in my bathroom, but I think that they're in the house somewhere."

I suppose it's an obvious question, but I'll ask it anyway: Were any of the movers wearing a No. 0 Bulls jersey?

    I'm sure Bernard King and Dominique Wilkins were thrilled to hear that a role player who picked up seven rings thanks to All-Stars and Hall of Famers can't find the damn things.

    7 Rings according to Kobeaners means that Horry is better than Kobe and Lebron combined!
    Horry: Where is my puppet?!?

    Big shot Bob...was fortunate to be on talented teams that he was. I will give him credit for making some clutch shots, but he wasn't a MJ or Kobe carrying a team to a championship. By the way, I was helping some guy move out of his house last weekend and I found 7 Gold championship rings lying around, does anyone want to buy one?

    Thank you mark i. Bernard King is my favorite player of all time, he never made it out of the second round. Horry should have kept that to himself.

    Whether he lost 2 rings or 7, he obviously kept all the rings together in the same spot so it makes no difference... What kind of writers does Yahoo! hire? This article is ridiculous.

    Maybe you need to play another seven years, win 7 more championships and replace the 7 rings you lost.

    My pops and I actually had a conversation about this last night. "I mean, if Kobe keeps 3 in a display case, where does Horry keep his? How does he keep track of them?"

    whats the point of these comments if they just get deleted? I did not swear or make any racial remarks. I simply gave my opinion on this article and Yahoo! news in general.

    #4, Wiz, when the heck did Kobe carry a team to a championship?
    Robert Horry has accomplished way more than Kobe has, which is help Hakeem get 2 rings, Shaq get 3 rings, and help Tim Duncan get 2 rings.
    Kobe helped Shaq with those 3 as well.

    #22, DMAN, Horry accomplish way more than Kobe? You are obviously mentally challenged.
    When are people going to realize that the TEAM gets the rings, not one player with a supporting cast. No player has one a championship ring by himself, there is always a strong team.

    who really cares what King and Wilkins has to say about him misplacing his rings. Were they not so selfish they both would have rings...
