AL HORFORD

There are always a lot of guys that have potential, but to make it a certain amount of years in the league, it takes more than just potential. You have to be professional, you have to be a good teammate, do things the right way. So now, any chance I get to talk to younger guys, I do it.

My favorite off the court workout would be biking.

It's a blessing to be an NBA player and to be in a position to help other people.

For a number of years, I wasn't consuming any dairy and suffered some injuries. At the time, I wasn't taking advantage of a wholesome diet with dairy and cheese and milk. Once I started implementing the dairy, including chocolate milk, I started to feel the difference.

My family's very important to me.

I always tried to be a guy that plays hard and was committed to giving his all, on and off the court. So that's something I'm really proud of.

As a competitor, I want to push myself as much as I can to be at that level that I want to be.

Basketball Without Borders is very important.

Concussions, you have to be really honest with yourself, and sometimes that's hard to do.

Being on the road is hard, and just being able to come home, and have our fans rally behind us, it's good for a change.

Being a presence on the defensive end, I know that's important to me, I have to establish that.

I always drank chocolate milk growing up and I remember my grandmother would always have it when I would visit her in the Dominican Republic - that's when it all started.

I don't have a problem with anybody. Until I get on the court.

Coach Donovan always harped on making sure that we're on the same page, that we're feeding off each other, and that's one of the things that I feel like I add value to.

I think that in Atlanta I was hoping that things would have worked out. Once I saw that things weren't going to work out, I saw what was going to be the best situation for me to try to win an NBA championship.

It's good to have expectations, I believe. You want to come out and you want to compete. You want to do special things.

Parents are sometimes a little more passionate about their sons and daughters.

The best advice-giver in my family definitely has to be my mom.

I don't have any tatts. If there's something one day that catches my attention, I might consider it. But on my neck? I don't know. I don't like anybody that much.

It's the Playoffs. This is what you play for.

I always admired the Celtics from afar.

My mom wanted me to play baseball. She didn't want me to play basketball.

Basketball in Latin America is growing a lot and it's being seen with the quantity of players in the NBA.

I'm big on cereal. I don't eat a lot of sweets, but when I've got a sweet tooth, I'm going to cereal, that's my go-to.

I like to go to the park with my family and friends and either play soccer, play tennis, or just go for walk.
