Boston Celtics big man Al Horford has long been an anchor for his team, so its no surprise he was a big part of the club’s Game 1 victory to open the 2023 postseason. Horford finished with 6 points, 9 rebounds, and 2 assists to go with a steal and 2 blocks, but per usual, his impact on the game went far beyond box score stats.
Now in his sixteenth year as a pro, Horford has established himself as one of the NBA’s top veteran talents. Not only has he done a nice job keeping Father Time time at bay, but the former Florida Gator is now a critical leader in the Celtics locker room.
