David Ortiz might have officially hung up his spikes after the 2016 season, but the Red Sox legend is still a dedicated Boston sports fan through and through.

As such, the Baseball Hall of Famer was happy to see the Celtics finally get over the hump and win its sought-after 18th championship in June.

Ortiz has regularly been a fixture near the parquet floor during Celtics games over the years, but he also has close ties with C’s veteran Al Horford — with the two Dominican stars forging a friendship that goes back before Horford even first donned Celtic green for the first time in 2016.
