Al Horford’s Comic Book Farewell…
Holy sneaker stains and three-point rains! Al Horford might be trading his four-leaf clover charm for a new pair of wings in the wild Western Conference. The Celtics’ mastermind, Brad Stevens, dropped a bombshell with the finesse of a sledgehammer, pals! “I’d say that’s unlikely,” he said, causing jaws to hit the floor faster than a slam dunk. He started the presser by giving a shout-out to some hoop legends – Jrue “The Seal” Holiday, Kristaps “Unicorn” Porzingis and Luke “The Tower” Kornet – but when it came to Al, Brad became as cryptic as a fortune cookie.
But wait, there’s more! The Scribble Squad – aka the reporters, including the great Anthony Slater and ESPN’s Captain Whisper, Brian Windhorst – have spread whispers louder than a Vegas slot machine that Horford might be packing his bags for the neon lights of Warriorsville, Hollywood, or high altitude action with the Nuggets! Al, however, is playing it cool, like a cucumber at a snow festival, taking his time with the fam before making any big-time decisions. He’s been non-committal about staying in Cloversville, and Payton “The Hopeful” Pritchard is crossing his sneakers, hoping for a Celtics sequel.
Al was the wise Yoda of the Celtics galaxy, teaching young Jedis like he was handing out lightsabers! “You can’t replace Al,” declared the younglings. They’ve been trying to put the broken pieces of their shattered dreams back together. Al’s shot stats are as solid as Grandma’s secret meatloaf recipe, and his locker room presence – priceless! The mighty Horford has worn many jerseys, but his heart? That’s still in Boston. So whether he dons a new super-suit or retires to make three-pointers in his local gym, he’ll forever be in the hearts of Celtics fans. Overflowing crowd? More like overflowing hearts!
