Robert Horry Compares Trae Young Flying On A Different Plane During Last Year's Series Against Miami Heat To Kobe Bryant Leaving Lakers To Promote Book
Seven-time NBA champion Robert Horry has that old-school approach to playing on a basketball team.
He believes it takes a lot for a player to be away from teammates, especially during the postseason. Horry recently spoke on when Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young flew on a separate plane during last year's first-round series against the Miami Heat.
Horry called Young's behavior disrespectful to teammates.
"For us, it's a different era," Horry said on the Big Shot Bob Podcast. "When something like this happened, we was like, `Is there a family problem? Is there something wrong?' If you come back with not a good answer, that's fucked up. Don't do no shit like that. We're a team."
Horry compared it to when former teammate Kobe Bryant once left the Los Angeles Lakers to appear on the Jimmy Kimmel Show.
"Don't disrespect us," Horry said. "It's a disrespect to your team because we've been out there battling. You didn't lose. We lost. You can't do that as a good teammate. I remember the situation when Kobe went on Jimmy Kimmel and the Lakers got a game ... I went on TV and said, `Well, Kobe you should've been there. You had no reason not to be there. You're out promoting your book. Everybody got mad at me for saying that but you know what? Kobe was there for the rest of the season."
