Social Media Reacts to Former Atlanta Hawk Al Horford Winning His First NBA Title

Theo

Al Horford is officially an NBA champion.

Al Horford, who spent the first nine seasons of his NBA career in Atlanta, won his first NBA title with the Boston Celtics tonight. This is Horford’s sixth season with the Celtics and he has played an integral role on one of the most dominant teams in NBA history. Horford was filling in for the injured Kristaps Porzingis and finished tonight with nine points and nine rebounds. He shot 2-3 from three.

Horford was arguably the best player in one of the most consistent eras in Hawks history. In the nine seasons that Horford played with the Hawks, Atlanta made the playoffs every season and during the 2014-15 season, Horford helped the Hawks to 60 wins and their first ever Conference Finals appearance from the east. He was a four-time All-Star with the Hawks and made the All-NBA Third Team during the 2010-2011 season.

Social media reacted accordingly when Horford finally got a title after all these years:
