He's the most under appreciated player of his era. He belongs in the HOF. He's been very good for 16 years on both ends of the court. Absolute glue guy. Even at the age of 36, he is the best big man on the Celtics, who have been one of the best 3 or 4 teams in the league these past 2 years. He is a big part of why. Take him off the court, and these Celtics would not even be a contender. He is that important to them, especially on defense. When he plays poorly, they lose. Like tonight....
Al Horford is a professional basketball player who currently plays as a power forward and center for the Boston Celtics in the National Basketball Association (NBA). He was born on June 3, 1986, in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic, and played college basketball at the University of Florida, where he won two national championships in 2006 and 2007. Horford was selected as the third overall pick in the 2007 NBA Draft by the Atlanta Hawks, where he spent the majority of his career before joining the Boston Celtics in 2016. He has been named an NBA All-Star five times and has also been recognized for his strong defensive abilities, earning NBA All-Defensive Second Team honors in 2011 and 2013. Aside from his basketball career, Horford is known for his philanthropic efforts, including his work with the Dominican Republic national basketball team and his support of various education initiatives.
Watching this final Boston Championship game vs Dallas. Horford deserve to get in the Hall. Based on his college career and 5 time All Star with the Hawks. Solid years with Boston and now a Championship yes he should be in.
A case can be made but I don’t see it… now IF he adds a title to his resume, then probably, maybe. And let’s not compare Horford to someone like Bobby Jones… Bobby was 2nd team NCAA AP All-America, had two great ABA years, immediate impact in the NBA too, if DPOY was given out back then he would’ve gotten one, I think he made the Playoffs every year of his career, one of the GOAT defensive players, like 4x All-Star, won 6th Man of the Year, was an important piece on a championship team (and one of the best teams ever)! Al has him beat on longevity but I think at their peak, Bobby was a more impactful player, and yeah, he’s more accomplished. Ofc that a title will boost your chances, like for KC Jones for example (winning a bunch of them with the Celtics dynasty)… it is what it is. But look at someone like Tom Chambers… 20000 career points, was All-NBA 2nd at his best, just great during those years even won ASG MVP at some point, so on… and he’s not in the HoF! You got someone like Michael Cooper that didn’t make it yet… FIVE times NBA Champion, as an important piece, DPOY, one of the best defensive players ever, one of the best 6th men ever! I mean… I don’t know about Iso Joe but I think LaMarcus has to make it at some point, yeah!… 20000 career points, 7x All-Star, 5x All-NBA… Some players also make it due to peak talent shown or even adding potential to that (helped a lot when it comes to Ralph Sampson for example)… You can even talk about impact and influence on the game, and iconic status…..
You do know Hall of Fame in basketball is different than football. Basketball is all the way from high school to your pros. It’s not called the NBA Hall of Fame
If you have to ask or make a case whether a guy is a Hall of Famer, they’re not a Hall of Famer. Al Horford has had a good career and is a really good player for any and every team he’s been on, but no. But then again Dan Patrick would like to see Robert Horry in the Hall of Fame 😒
All he can do now offensively is shoot 3's and his percentages on that is low. He used to have a little post game but abandoned that and now he's some 3 point sniper now lol🤣
Well you could definitely make the case he was no less then the 2nd best. Peak Shawn Kemp was a whole problem. I love Gary Payton but Kemp was the best player on that 96 sonics team.
@@DennardC_27Still beat a great team without even going seven games. I think they expended a lot of energy winning during the regular season that year. The most important thing is they won the championship.
Al Horford NBA champion (2024) 5× NBA All-Star (2010, 2011, 2015, 2016, 2018) All-NBA Third Team (2011) NBA All-Defensive Second Team (2018) NBA All-Rookie First Team (2008) 2× NCAA champion (2006, 2007) Second-team All-American - NABC (2007) Third-team All-American - AP (2007) SEC tournament MVP (2007) better career than Ben wallace AL will get in

Where's Dan's talk on betting ?? That needs to be on here , please
As a Florida fan I don’t think he is, but I will smile if he gets in!

He doesn't have the numbers but on his impact alone I wish he could be.
Yes, he does is not the NBA Hall of Fame.
Hortford has better numbers than ben wallace and ben is in the hall of fame
It’s called the Naismith Hall of Fame not the NBA Hall of Fame
It's not after last night's pathetic display of 0 points on 7 shot attempts (all 3 pointers, no made free throws) in the playoffs

There are way worse HOF cases than Horry.
Keep in mind Al won back to back NCAA Championships with the University of Florida
Did Dan say Shawn Kemp was the best player on the court in the 96' Finals? Did I hear that right?
Well you could definitely make the case he was no less then the 2nd best. Peak Shawn Kemp was a whole problem. I love Gary Payton but Kemp was the best player on that 96 sonics team.
@@Riles3152 Maybe....but he was on the court with MJ and Scottie Pippen.
@@mikek7050Kemp was definitely more dominant than Pippen in '96. I wouldn't agree with him over MJ, though, that's nutty.
@@Vic-Vega go back and rewatch that series. Jordan didn't shot particularly well that series. They won that title ugly
@@DennardC_27Still beat a great team without even going seven games. I think they expended a lot of energy winning during the regular season that year.
The most important thing is they won the championship.
