Far less than he did to help Houston and LA win their championships. Horry played a vital role in garnering the championships in Houston and LA. In Houston, his range helped spread the floor and in LA he learned to play defense at the PF position. He did a fantastic job against TD although I'm sure you don't remember that. However, in Houston and LA, Horry was either a starter or he came in immediately off the bench -- he hasn't had that role in SA. He has made some great plays but the same could be said of other role players off the bench. He hasn't had to play the same vital role in SA that he did in Houston and LA.
When in doubt, fabricate?

Yep, fabricate is what you do best -- trying to find some stats that make your point for you. One of the years you quoted, Horry was hurt most of the year -- it's why he played so few minutes.
Here is a better look -- see if even YOU can't tell the difference:
Houston: (min. per game each year): 30, 29, 32, 37
LA: 30, 30, 20 (this is the injured year you quoted), 22, 20, 26, 29
Spurs: 16, 19, 19, 16, 13
In Houston, he averaged 32 minutes a game.
In Los Angeles, he averaged 25 minutes per game.
In San Antonio, he's averaged 15 minutes a game.
Don't see the difference here, huh? I laugh at the way you twist things around. In SA, Horry has never averaged 20 minutes a game -- in LA, he never averaged less than that. Keep spinning and twisting -- I'd say it was a nice try to make your point look better but it really wasn't.
