Al Horford

Al Horford is my kind of player: never the loudest name, always the one you cannot win without. The 208 cm Dominican big man, affectionately called Big Al, is a five-time All-Star and an NBA champion who built his reputation on defense, versatility and steady professionalism rather than gaudy stat lines. He is the connective tissue of great teams, the veteran who absorbs the tough assignments and keeps the locker room sane. The fact that he has stayed effective and durable for so long says everything about his basketball intelligence. I will always take a quiet craftsman like him over a flashy scorer.
