Five years later, Los Angeles's dream theater is about to become the birthplace of another dynasty.
Los Angeles fans still refuse to believe that the Hawks are about to step on the Lakers and climb to the championship throne for the third consecutive year. They still crave victory, hoping for some divine power to make the OK duo temporarily set aside their differences.
Perhaps feeling the anticipation of the fans, Robert Horry, who was hailed by Magic as one of the "Top Ten Clutch Players in the League", stepped up today.
At the start of the fourth quarter, the Atlanta Hawks were already leading by 14 points.
But then, Robert Horry received a pass from Shaq and hit a three-pointer.
In the next play, Horry slid off a pick at the top of the arc, received a pass from Kobe, and nailed another three-pointer.
Robert Horry pursed his lips and pumped his fist in front of one of the camera lenses.
Was he narcissistic?
No, he just knew that his daughter was smiling behind the camera.
