  1. Next step for Horford is to pass the Ball to Brown in the post, he almost never does it it and has never done it throughout the years…not a big fan of him because of that.

  2. X Factor Al has adapted like Tom said. In today’s NBA it’s adapt or retire. (or play overseas) Love everything Al brings to the table on the floor and in the locker room. Thanks guys! ☘️🔒

  3. Haven’t looked at the physics like people have for free throws ( underhand is better )
    But maybe more arc on 3 pt shots is desirable.

  4. Do you think Al’s evolution to a 3pt shooter (if you wanna call it that) will be beneficial to his longevity?

    He’s not getting banged around in the paint like a typical big man. Less injuries to the body = playing till he’s 45.

  5. Growth from a player who grew up playing and perfecting an entire different era is rare. Now a 38 year old doing it, nearly unheard of.
