NBA veteran Al Horford spent nearly two decades waiting for an NBA championship.
On Monday, Horford finally got his chance to bask in the glory of winning a title as the Boston Celtics won Game 5 of the 2024 NBA Finals over the Dallas Mavericks.
As Horford checked out of the game with a little more than two minutes to go and with victory in sight, the veteran put his arms in the air to exclaim his joy for the impending title win.
