In the first round of the NBA playoffs, Boston Celtics have taken a two-game lead against Atlanta Hawks. Last season, the team competed against Golden State Warriors during the NBA Finals but were not able to win the championship. This year, the Boston Celtics are hoping for a different outcome.
One of the significant players who has helped the team in the playoffs is the veteran center Al Horford. The five-time All-Star has made 13 points and 14 rebounds in the first two games of the series. He has been known as a skillful player, but many didn’t know about his purpose in his career and his life.
“My whole purpose in life is to please God, to ensure I’m doing his will and that I’m living my life in that example,” he said in a 2021 interview with NBA.com. “Based on that, that’s how I go about my life, and then the rest of everything will fall in place.”

In a recent interview with Sports Spectrum, he also emphasized that his success in his career is a blessing from God.
“This is what I live by, you know, my faith—my faith in Jesus Christ. And what he’s done in my life is what I live for,” Al said. “It’s been a beautiful journey for me. God has spoken to my heart, and great things have come out of that. You know, blessings in my spiritual life, but also blessings with my family and my career, in many different ways.”
