Boston Celtics veteran Al Horford is brimming with confidence as he anticipates an electrifying season ahead, fueled by the potential of his teammates Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. Having trained alongside them recently, Horford is optimistic that the duo is poised to take the NBA by storm.
Frustrated by the disrespect the pair faced during the Olympics, Horford sees this as a catalyst for their relentless drive. “I wasn’t happy with how they were treated. They mean a lot to me, and their motivation has become our collective fuel for this season,” he shared, reflecting a unified determination within the team after such criticism.
Horford has witnessed firsthand Tatum’s commitment, noting that his dedication has reached new heights. “I arrived at the facility at 8 AM, and JT was already finished with his workout. He must have started around 6, and he’s been on this grind for two weeks now.” This dedication aligns with reports indicating Tatum’s intensive training regimen aimed at improving his jump shot, a focal point of scrutiny last season.
As for Jaylen Brown, Horford is impressed with his transformation. “I’ve been in the gym with Jaylen, and he’s looking bigger and more powerful. It seems like he’s added at least 10 pounds of muscle. His hunger and drive are palpable.”
With such commitment and a fierce determination to reclaim their status, the Celtics appear ready to contend fiercely for a second NBA Finals title. The upcoming season holds the promise of a dynamic resurgence, led by the superstar Jays who are eager to prove their worth on the grand stage.
