Monday’s coronation for the Celtics marked the end of a long road for several key figures on Boston’s roster.
Franchise stalwarts like Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum have waited a long time to finally hoist up the Larry O’Brien Trophy on the parquet floor.
But no one has waited quite as long as Al Horford.
The 38-year-old forward/center finally secured his first championship at the end of his 17th NBA season — a fitting cap on a career that has featured two successful stints with the Celtics.
The veteran — signed through the 2024-25 season — hasn’t divulged any information about his future plans.
