Michael Jordan became a millionaire NBA champion despite using support when needed

Robert Horry is the only modern NBA player to win more championships than Michael Jordan. However, that only gave him one interaction with the Chicago Bulls legend. Amazingly, Michael Jordan reached out to Horry for help but never spoke to the Houston Rockets star again.

Robert Horry was drafted by the Houston Rockets in 1992. He spent the first 4 years of his career with the team. So that makes him the right guy for Jordan to call when he’s in town.

“Michael Jordan called me one time… this was a long time ago. He said, ‘You know, I’m coming to Houston. I’d like to know a good place to eat and hang out. You know, just a place to relax. I told him the location and I slipped in to see if he was there, and he was. I was like, oh, he took my advice.Of course, I never heard from him again

the seven-time champion said on a recent episode of the Big Shot Bob podcast.

In typical Michael Jordan fashion, he never spoke to Horry again. Since Horry was so young at the time, Jordan knew it was the right thing to call him to ask about a great hangout spot in the city. And Jordan even listened to the young star’s advice. But this did not lead to a fruitful relationship between the two.

Horry may have remembered this, however, as he used his numbers against Michael Jordan to prove he was better.

In addition to having more championships than Jordan, Horry also found himself at one point losing fewer Finals than Michael Jordan. Horry said: “I saw the stats for me and Jordan the other day. I looked at it and was like, damn, I didn’t even realize that. I only lost about 10 games in the finals and he lost 14.I think I’m better than Jordan“.

Obviously, Horry was joking as he has always shown love and respect for Michael Jordan. Horry even said that Michael Jordan is the best player of all time.
