What makes this ring extra special is that Al didn't get it warming the bench, or even coming off it. He was absolutely crucial to the win, and showed he was still an elite defender at 38.
He played extremely well tonight. And part of Al's play can be attributed to KP and Hauser giving him rest and providing solid D when they were in. Hauser had a great game, all around.
@@goriotv2023 yeah, it was a crazy series. the Al and the hawks were the team that gave the celtics the most trouble that year, not even kobe's lakers.
Al Horford played his ass off at his age diving on the floor, rebounding, and scoring the man showed quiet leadership. What we witnessed folks is Team Ball. A unit with no egos and unselfish players. BRAVO!! Celtics.
I live in Massachusetts but I've been a Warriors fan all my life, but I do like the Celtics and attended a lot of games. Its good to see Al, whose been on the team for so long finally get his ring. Brought a tear to my eye. I told my brother after the 2022 finals "don't worry dude, they'll be back and win it", proud of those guys.
@user-kl5rg8mq3e actually fans were very respectful to me. Boston fans don't get enough credit, after that game 6 I met accouple of random fans and we hung out after and just talked about the series. Obviously there are bad Celtic fans but that's true for every fanbase, C's fans get a thumbs up from me
The example the memories that his son will have of his father when he grows up will be soo important. U can tell he loves admires looks up to his father daddy. He doesn’t miss a game and is always cheering for his daddy. Wow wow wow.
I was so happy when he came to the Celtics back in 2016. He always gave Celtics trouble when he was in Atlanta. Nd i would always say he needs to come to the Celtics. Im more happy for him than anyone on this team. A milestone of playoffs games. Finally got it done. Well deserved Big AL
As an avid Mavs fan I say congrats to Celtics and Al Horford. A wonderful player and more importantly wonderful human being. I’m disappointed but really happy for this man and a great great franchise. I grew up in Dallas in 60s and watched Celtics every Sunday afternoon after football ends. Jo Jo white. Havlicek. Then Bird and company.
Al Horford is just so lovable and rootable. Everyone is thrilled for him cuz he's always been the most professional, team oriented leader guy you can have on your team. And I'm so grateful he's on mine 🍀
Love This interview so much. Amen 💯Al Horford. You are a Great example too your Team mates, Your Family and the whole NBA. Couldn't be happier for you winning a Championship 👏❤️. God Bless You 🙏❤️
@@blacklyfe6881lmfao you will never get away from hate. We warriors fans have been hated on for years and even after kd left. You will always get hate especially being the lakers rival. Next year youll see. Dont get comfortable
Proud of you Big AL. Your story is inspiring, never stop doing what you are doing until you get what you want outta it. He stuck with it and keep coming back and it’s paid off enormously. CONGRATS BIG AL!!!!!! 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
@@bkn1248 I be forgetting me, like so many of you, are just words in a comment section on a post/video of someone living out their dreams. Why don’t you guys do the same instead being a hating a** b****, especially when no one will care in the future and you’re gone forever.
In the world of professional sports with all the dopes and prima donnas , it so refreshing to see a great person like Al Horford finally win a championship.Congrats Al..... couldn't have happened to a nicer guy 👏👏👏👏
I am so happy for Al this man hung in there he was determined to get his first chip and I just knew this was the year for him and the team much respect to the Celtics well-deserved the team was put together for a championship run hopefully they can run it back with the same crew
when JT began to really play team ball, not iso, he unlocked the team potential, and add that with Porzingis streching the floor, they are the perfect team
Celtics last won Banner 17 on 6/17/08 Celtics win Banner 18 on 6/17/2024 Boston Area Code is 617 Won Game 5 for with score 88-106....18 points for Banner 18! Meant to be! Long time coming! Lets go Celtics☘️🏆🥳🎊🎉🙌☘️
Dominican pride!!! I’m not, but I grew up with them and they are some of the most loving, humble, hard working people I know. Al is a great example of that.
That’s a real star right there, he knows his roll and plays it very well, humble but steady, and everything it’s about the team, congratulations my fellow citizen, well deserved!!
Happy for Al! Warriors fan rooting for the Cs to win, primarily for this guy and then the rest of the team. Every single player did their best to contribute, well deserved win! 🏆🍾🥂
Mavs fan, this guy is the reason I'm just happy my team made it, I wanted to see this dude and KP win when the season started and I saw their squad, glad they got it done, even at our expense 💙
I'm a laker fan and I know it hurt him last year to be so close and come up short to his first championship, I'm glad he didn't give up and retire thinking he's never going to get one. Respect
I agree. Not a celtics fan, but extremely happy for Al. In fact I told my friend I heard a rumor Al was hungry for a ring. Tuff to beat when someone hungry..,
I'm super happy for Al Hortford a veteran and he deserves this his dedication to the NBA and to Boston and also for Tatum and Brown Prozignoz I am happy for these group oh and Danny White. Drue his 2nd but, to those guy's it's there 1st and I am happy
Horford attends the church where God literally speaks to people.. All of this was actually promised to him (with words in his ear by the Lord).. Glad that soon humanity will start to see his true church (I.D.M.J.I) flourish via many people and many in the spotlight such as Horford...
Whether or not he ends up in the HOF, Big Al is a Celtic legend. Lots of Horford memories throughout the years. He's been the anchor of Celtics' defense for so many years, while also taking some of the toughest defensive assignments.I'm so happy for him. My soul would never rest if he didn't get a ring as a Celtic.
Congratulations Al he’s very much deserves this. I remember he carried ATL for a while great job 💪🏾💯. I hope he retires now with this and go along and be greater off the court with his family this’s the icing on the cake let’s go. 🏆🎉

LeBron’s son finally won a ring 😢
@@ndnd7614No shame in that LeBron is an All Time great.
@@ndnd7614Horford ring at 38 1 > Lebron rings at 38. 0
This man goes to a Church that God speaks. Glory to God.
Horford was still in Atlanta Hawks in 2008 when the Cs won their 17th Title. Fast Forward 2024. You got one Big AL
He was a rookie in the 08 season.
Actually Al took the celtics to 7 games that year, almost eliminating them from the playoffs and preventing the 2008 championship.
He helped Atlanta push that Celtics team to 7 games in the first round. Nothing easy!
@@davidares286 Yes. I still have the 2008 DVD. KG was shocked they went to Game 7 vs th Hawks.
@@goriotv2023 yeah, it was a crazy series. the Al and the hawks were the team that gave the celtics the most trouble that year, not even kobe's lakers.
The best thing about this championship. Seeing Al Horford win.
🤢
@@bkn1248 he is almost my age. Sorry you feel that way.

Well deserved al thanks for everything you've done for this city
So happy Al got one and doing it
With the Celtics is extra special
Congratulations al

I think al horford can go out on top he finally clutched one..
Al Horford played his ass off at his age diving on the floor, rebounding, and scoring the man showed quiet leadership. What we witnessed folks is Team Ball. A unit with no egos and unselfish players. BRAVO!! Celtics.
Also the Celtics were hustling for rebounds and points
Congrats to Al - Faith and prayer combined with discipline were cornerstones for his success
❤ I agree with you.
💙Those are keys, and in that order, to succeed in what you want in life👌🏻🙏🏻🏆👍🏻

Ian’s facial expressions from 3:57-4:08 are hilarious. Al got himself a superstar in the making 🎉
He was killing me! 😂😂😂
@@TMRazlin lmfao why does he do that is he disabled?

Happiest for him! Loved watching him growing up
Great guy.. Congratulations on achieving that !!
This Celtics team went through the same path as the Bad Boys Pistons. The heartbreak to eventually getting over the hump.
He is the only reason I wanted the celtics to win
X2

Well deserved. He's been a part of good teams majority of his career. You need players like him on your team.
Al tonight: 9 and 9 with a +20 rating. 31:35 minutes played. Baller. Champion. Couldn't be happier.

Nah he going to retire.
@@blacklyfe6881 I got him playing 2 more years at least
He can definitely still play
He can play til he's 60 in this watered down league.
