Brad Stevens, the coach of the Boston Celtics, is shining the spotlight on Al Horford. The Celtics are known for being a complete team, ready to face any challenge that comes their way. It’s hard to find a weakness in this team, but when it comes to individual players standing out, Brad Stevens has no doubt that Al Horford is the man to watch.
In an interview with ESPN, Stevens praised Horford for his impact on the team, stating, “The bottom line is that we are much better because Al Horford is on our team, and everyone on the court is better because Al Horford is on the team. That is the most important. He is capable of lifting the team up. That’s how he’s always been. We don’t take it for granted. We know how important it is.”
At 38 years old, Horford continues to play at a high level, averaging 9.6 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 2 assists in the current playoffs. His presence on the court has been crucial for the Celtics, who are currently leading the NBA Finals 2-0 against the Dallas Mavericks.
With Horford’s contributions and the unstoppable performance of the team as a whole, the Celtics are on track to potentially win their first championship since 2008. The combination of Horford’s skill and leadership, along with the team’s unity and determination, has made them a force to be reckoned with in the NBA. As they continue their quest for the championship, all eyes will be on Al Horford and his impact on the success of the Boston Celtics.
