Adam Silver teams up with Celtics veteran for charity event

The Boston Celtics are off to a strong start in the NBA Finals, taking a 1-0 series lead against the Dallas Mavericks after a dominant performance in Game 1. The Celtics, who finished the regular season with a league-best 64 wins, have been on a roll throughout the playoffs, only losing two games in the first three rounds.

While the focus is on the court, veteran big man Al Horford took some time off to join NBA Commissioner Adam Silver in unveiling a renovated gym at a Boston Boys & Girls Club as part of the NBA Cares Finals Legacy Projects program. This initiative showcases the league’s commitment to giving back to communities and leaving a lasting impact beyond the basketball court.

Horford, who is aiming for his first NBA title and potentially nearing retirement after nearly two decades in the league, has been a key player for the Celtics in their championship run. Despite turning 38 earlier this month, Horford has shown that age is just a number, remaining productive and playing a pivotal role for the team.

As the Celtics continue their quest for another championship, Horford’s off-court contributions highlight the importance of giving back to the community and making a difference beyond the game of basketball. With his leadership and experience, Horford is not only a valuable asset on the court but also a role model off the court, inspiring others to make a positive impact in their communities.
