After it was the picture of a five-year-old Nikola Jokic in a Nuggets sweatshirt that went viral after he won his maiden NBA championship, former Los Angeles Lakers star Robert Horry joined the trend when he posted an image of him as a kid in a Houston Rockets tee.

He captioned the image: “I get it ..sometimes you just know” complete with a championship emoji.

Horry was still on his rookie contract with the Houston Rockets after he was chosen 11th overall in the 1992 NBA draft. He won two championships in 1994 and 1995, with the first coming under Hakeem Olajuwon’s brilliant run.

‘Big Shot Bob’ as he was known has had seven rings in his career with three different franchises. He was also part of the Los Angeles Lakers team that completed a three-peat led by Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal. His final two rings came with the San Antonio Spurs in 2005 and 2007.

It’s a weird universe out there. Who would have thought that Jokic would win a championship with a team whose sweatshirt he wore when he could barely dribble the ball? Or Horry who won not one, but two rings with a team whose tee he rocked when he was a kid. Surely, the two of them aren’t complaining.


Robert Horry Reveals Where He Hides His Seven Championship Rings

Not many would have expected him to hide his championship rings in the bathroom, but Horry did just that. And on top of it all, he had almost lost them in the process as well (via Slam).

“The recently retired Horry said a recent move has left his rings MIA and he believes movers may have placed his jewelry box amongst dozens of unopened boxes, against his orders. ‘I never wear them and the thing is, I don’t know where they are,’ he said on a conference call to recall playoff memories. ‘I just moved and they are in a box somewhere. The movers weren’t supposed to touch it, but they touched it, but I am hoping they are in the house somewhere. I usually keep them in the bathroom in a drawer.’”

The fact that he kept them in a drawer in his bathroom goes to show that Horry’s memories of the game are far more precious to him. But maybe a better hiding place is in order
