Fans of the Boston Celtics may have noticed a recent tweet by ESPN’s Kirk Goldsberry showing veteran Boston big man Al Horford as the NBA’s top scorer for the corner 3-point shot, where he is hitting 55% of his attempts to stand alone in terms of efficiency from that part of the floor.
Asked about his lethal effectiveness from that part of the court, the Florida alum shared he actually wasn’t aware he’d been leading from that part of the floor of late. “I honestly didn’t know about it, but as you guys can tell, I’m in the corners a lot,” he said with a bit of a wry grin after Boston’s 107-99 win over the Chicago Bulls on Monday evening via CLNS Media. “Right or left, I’ve just got to be there and be shot-ready.”
