\"7xRobert Horry, Nikola Jokic, and Carmelo Anthony. Image via: Getty Images 7x NBA champion, Robert Horry\u2019s podcast has created many questions in the minds of the fans. He sparked a heated debate about the jersey number 15, which once belonged to the former Denver Nuggets player, Carmelo Anthony. It seemed like Robert Horry was not at all afraid to answer his viewers with a bold and blunt reply. The franchise could most possibly retire the jersey twice, considering the impact both players have made on the franchise\u2019s history. He emphasized the fact that Nikola Jokic is a much of valuable player than Carmelo Anthony. Also, if the Los Angeles Lakers can retire Kobe Bryant\u2019s No. 8 and 24 jerseys, then why can\u2019t other teams do the same? Well, it is only a matter of time. <\/p>\n

\u201cCarmelo didn\u2019t win anything when he was there. He didn\u2019t even win Rookie of the Year when he was there. When you look at the teams, he kept getting beat, he never made it to the Western Conference Finals,\u201d Robert Horry further added. \u201cEven though he had great years there, it was not years where he won Western Conference Championship, won their conference. Went to the finals. I think that\u2019s what teams look at,\u201d The 7x NBA champion opened up about Nikola Jokic.<\/p>\n

Robert Horry said why Kevin Durant will never surpass LeBron James’ outstanding scores<\/p>\n

In the same podcast, Robert Horry also explained why Kevin Durant could never dethrone LeBron James\u2019 record-breaking scores. \u201cThink about it. You got to average 25 points for 20 years. That\u2019s putting it on the low. How many players gonna play 20 years?\u201d asked the former NBA star. \u201cLet\u2019s look at Chris Paul, who is a great scorer, but as he got long in the tooth, his scoring kind of diminished. Did LeBron\u2019s scoring diminish?\u201d He further added by saying, \u201cYou got to have the body type LeBron has, who can play like a guard and play like a big. How many players out there do we know outside of KD, who I don\u2019t see him playing for five more years?\u201d Robert Horry has blind faith in the Lakers\u2019 star LeBron James and his unbreakable scoring.
