When Al Horford managed to achieve success at such a young age, it set a precedent for his NBA career.
Before becoming a pro, Horford led the Florida University Gators to back-to-back NCAA championships. The impressive feat put things into perspective, he told CLNS Media’s Anna Horford on the latest episode of Horford Happy Hour, it helped shape him into the player he is today -- one of the league’s most dominant big men who couldn’t care less if his name isn’t always mentioned as one of the NBA’s greats.
”It seems like every since I got to the NBA, after success in college and winning championships, I feel like I really learned early that what makes me happy or what I want to be a part of is winning and being on teams that win or have a chance to compete and playing the right way,” Horford said.
