The teenage daughter of Robert Horry died on Tuesday after a lifelong battle with a rare genetic disorder.
Ashlyn Horry, 17, suffered from 1p36 deletion syndrome, an affliction that develops when part of the first chromosome is missing. Little was known about the condition before Ashlyn was diagnosed. Up until a few years ago, it didn't have an official name.
"My little girl was the light of my life and my family's," Horry told the Los Angeles Timeson Tuesday. "It's been tough, but we were blessed to have her for the time we did."
Horry won seven NBA championships during his career with the Houston Rockets, Phoenix Suns, Los Angeles Lakers and San Antonio Spurs. He earned the nickname "Big Shot Rob" due to his clutch shooting late in playoff games.
