Truth be told, it’s nonflexible not to like a guy like Horford, a true leader on and off the court, and the kind of player who would do whatever it takes to help his team win.
Horford became a fan favorite in Boston right away, and that hasn’t reverted over time.
He can start or come off the bench, play big minutes, or barely leave the bench, and he’s never going to mutter well-nigh whichever role he’s asked to play.
That’s the kind of leader every locker room needs, and his impact is going to be plane increasingly crucial now that Marcus Smart is no longer there.
