Al Horford is a widely underrated player in the NBA. In a day and age where it is easy to just look at the box score and basic statistics, the main portions of Horford’s work can, easily, be overlooked. While its known to Boston Celtics fans how effective he is, many critics discount the fact that he can do almost everything on a basketball court.
The five-time all-star has enjoyed a long career in the league, thus far. His tenure with Atlanta saw him develop into a top center in the league. However, he has become an important part of a contending team, here in Boston, and what he does for this team is far more than put up points or gather rebounds.
