Horford and his family moved to Lansing, Michigan, where he played for Grand Ledge High School in Grand Ledge, Michigan.
He was considered a four-star recruit out of high school, and he committed to play at the University of Florida under coach Billy Donovan and teammates Joakim Noah, Corey Brewer, and Taurean Green.
Horford achieved a lot during his collegiate career. He helped the Florida Gators to win back-to-back NCAA championships in 2006 and 2007, as well as being named the 2007 SEC Tournament MVP.
After their final championship, Horford, Noah, Green, and Brewer all declared for the NBA Draft.
The Atlanta Hawks selected Al Horford as the 3rd overall pick of the 2007 NBA Draft. He then signed his rookie contract with the Hawks worth $17.5 million for four years.
He was runner up for the NBA Rookie of the Year and he was the only player in league history to be unanimously selected to the NBA All-Rookie First Team.
In the 2009-2010 season, Horford’s third year in the league, he was selected to his first NBA All-Star Game. He finished the season with averages of 14.2 points and 9.9 rebounds.
The following season, Horford signed a five-year contract extension worth $60 million. He was also named an All-Star for the second straight season.
He suffered injury-shortened campaigns during the 2011-2012 and 2013-2014 seasons, but Horford had his career year during the 2012-2013 season. He averaged 17.4 points, 10.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and a block and a steal for the season.
Horford was named as a back-to-back All-Star once again in the 2015 and 2016 NBA All-Star Games.
Al Horford was a free agent in the 2016 NBA Offseason, and the Hawks were optimistic to keep their star big man. But they ultimately failed and Horford signed a lucrative $113 million deal for four years with the Boston Celtics.
He was named to his final All-Star Game during the 2017-2018 NBA season.
In the 2019 offseason, Horford signed another big deal, this time with the Philadelphia 76ers.
The contract was for four years and $109 million, with $97 million guaranteed.
However, he only played one season with the Sixers before being traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder. He played for 67 games with OKC before being ruled out for the rest of the season because the team wanted to prioritize developing their young players.
Prior to the start of the 2021-2022 NBA season, Horford finds his way back to the Celtics after he was traded to Boston, along with Moses Brown, for Kemba Walker.
Al Horford shares his reaction on the trade via Twitter:

Al Horford has been involved in a number of causes around the world. He has collaborated with Basketball Without Borders, the NBA’s fight against AIDS, the Make-A-Wish Foundation, and local charities in the Dominican Republic.
Horford also pledged $500,000 to aid the fight against the Coronavirus pandemic in the Dominican Republic and every city he has played basketball for (Michigan, Gainesville, Florida, Atlanta, Boston, and Philadelphia).
The 35-year-old might be in the tail-end of his career, but there is no doubt that he still has a lot left in the tank.
And he is the perfect veteran piece to help guide the Boston Celtics to another NBA title run.
