Alfred Joel Horford Reynoso OMDSM^[1] (born June 3, 1986), nicknamed "Big Al", is a Dominican professional basketball player for the Boston Celtics of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He is a five-time NBA All-Star and won the 2024 NBA Finals.

Horford played college basketball for the Florida Gators and was the starting center on their back-to-back National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) national championships teams in 2006 and 2007. He was drafted with the third overall pick in the 2007 NBA draft by the Atlanta Hawks, with whom he played nine seasons before signing with the Celtics as a free agent in the 2016 off-season.

After three seasons in Boston, Horford signed with the Philadelphia 76ers in the 2019 offseason and played a season with them before being traded in the 2020 offseason to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Prior to the 2021 season, Horford was traded back to the Celtics. He reached the NBA Finals in 2022 and 2024, winning his first title in the latter after playing 186 career playoff games without one, the second most all-time.
