Al Horford wasn’t amused when a reporter laughed at the notion of him being an ‘elite shooter’

The way Al Horford has reinvented himself into a 3-point shooting threat has helped the Celtics evolve into one of the most offensively potent teams in the NBA.

The veteran post player shot 44.6 percent from 3-point range during the regular season, which was second among qualifying players according to ESPN. Only 36 players in the league shot at least 40 percent from three this season, which means on average there’s about one or two players per team that can keep up with that percentage.

Horford is also shooting 47.6 percent from the field, which is third amongst Celtics starters behind Robert Williams III and Jaylen Brown.
