2. Horry’s Game Winner: It was Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals, and the Kings were up 2-1 in the series. With the score 99-97, the Kings lead with 10 seconds left, but the Lakers had the ball.
During that sequence, Kobe Bryant drove to the basket missing his shot, then Shaquille O’Neal attempted to tip the ball and missed. As a result, the ball was swatted to the top of the arc by Vlade Divac where Robert Horry took the ball and shot right before the clock expired to swish the basket, resulting in breaking the hearts of many Kings fan.
When asking Kings fans of moments that have haunted this team throughout their time in Sacramento, the Horry shot will always be mentioned. Unless they are not real fans.
