Known for his huge SHOTS at the most Opportune times in the GAME.......Robert " BIG SHOT" HORRY loses his biggest HERO EVER...Daughter Ashlyn HORRY.

Diagnosed from birth with a RARE Chromosome Disorder called 1p36 Deletion Syndrome which is characterized by intellectual disability, delayed growth, seizures and respiratory problems. I once saw her on a TV Special about ASHLYN, ROBERT, and Family on what a normal day for them is and they took it in stride as though everything was fine and ASHLYN was doing what she could.

I know all the teams Robert played for in his 15 Professional Seasons feel this loss as well especially the ROCKETS as she was born in HOUSTON when ROB played with Kenny THE JET SMITH and DREAM.

There was one incident I remember about HORRY when he hit the GAME-Winning SHot in the 2001 PLAYOFFS vs the Sacramento KINGS a reporter asked one Vlade DIVAC about Horry's shot he Vlade simply said," IT WAS LUCK".........Horry's response was," I do this all the TIME...HE BETTER START READING THE PAPER or SOMETHING".........that was BIG SHOT as smooth and as quiet as an NBA PLAYER can be yet a BIG-TIME SHOT-MAKER and PLAYMAKER at the BIG-TIME Moments.......BIG SHOT ROB is what they call him.

The other teams HORRY played for was the SUNS, LAKERS, and SPURS and has 7 Championship Rings in which he was a HUGE PART in all of them and a TRIBUTE to what kind of HUMAN-BEING ROB was on and off the FLOOR.

And I know we know him as BIG SHOT and ASHLYN knows him as her BIGGEST SHOT.......She will be missed as she touched so many.

ASHLYN HORRY 1994-2011 R.I.P.

There is a FOUNDATION set up in ASHLYN'S Name at www.ashlynhorryfoundation.org to donate towards the cause.
