Horry's return to NBA not finalized

Monday, June 2 2008 -- San Antonio Spurs forward Robert Horry said June he's considering to step away from the game after winning seven NBA championships in his 16-season career. "Right now I'm up in the air," Horry said. "That's all I can really tell you, up in the air.

The defending champion went down to the Lakers in five games in the finals of the Western Conference. The series concluded on the 29th of May 2008, and it is widely expected that this would be Horry's last year.

Horry has been playing in the playoffs in every one of his NBA seasons. "I think that if I stick around I'm still better than a lot of players," Horry said. "I might not be as fast as a lot of them or as quick. But I'm smarter than probably about 98 percent of the league."

Horry said that while he'd like to play for the Spurs, he wasn't ruling anything out. Horry won two titles each with Houston and San Antonio and three with the Los Angeles Lakers. He's one of only eight players in league history with seven or more rings.

Horry also added that "I want to play, 80 percent of me wants to play and I'm sure as soon as I get in the gym and see people bouncing the ball it would turn into 100 percent. So we'll just have to wait and see what happens."
