“I’ve got five kids…I’ve got five kids!”

At an age when most dads with five kids might be satisfied to play weekend pickup ball in the park, saving their energy to mow the lawn later, Al Horford is still sprinting up and down NBA courts, blocking shots and nailing three-pointers against NBA youngsters half his age.

Horford, who will turn 39 on June 3, is one of the most popular players in Boston Celtics history. Jaylen Brown’s gentle teasing in that video illustrated just how much Big Al is beloved by his teammates, coaches, fans and everyone around him.
