Golden State Warriors center Al Horford has opened up recently on why he wanted to join his new team and in explaining his move across the country, he threw some subtle shade at his former team in the Boston Celtics.
In The Athletic, Horford spoke about how he hopes Golden State will be his last NBA stop. He also said he wanted to join a true contender as he explained why he wanted to join the Warriors:
"There was two things there. I think the financial part was a component, but more than that, it was the winning part of it, trying to contend for a championship," Horford said.
