Amelia Vega shared a wholesome reaction after Al Horford’s first NBA championship

Al Horford is coming off his first NBA championship. The Celtics center has come a long way after nearly seeing his career end during the 2020-21 season with the OKC Thunder. However, he revived his career after the Celtics traded for him before the 2021-22 season. The veteran big man contributed to Boston’s resurgence, helping them return to the summit after 15 years.

His wife, Amelia Vega, who stood by his side through thick and thin, shared a wholesome post for him before opening night.

“Ourhchampion has a trophy,” Amelia wrote.

Al Horford, 38, is one of the oldest players in the NBA. He’s still a reliable contributor to the Celtics. Since his return to Boston, the Celtics have been to the finals twice (2022 and 2024) and made the conference finals once.

In his second stint with the Celtics, Horford played 208 games, averaging 9.5 points, 6.7 rebounds and 3.0 assists while shooting 48.3%, including 40.5% from 3. His floor spacing ability and versatile defense elevated the Celtics and made them one of the most unbeatable teams in recent memory.
