With the Boston Celtics winning the Larry O'Brien Trophy and becoming the NBA champions for the 18th time, Al Horford also became the first player from the Dominican Republic to win an NBA title. Who is he, and how much is his net worth?

"Big Al" is the son of the first-ever Dominican Republic star to ever play in the NBA, Tito Horford. While he spent much of his basketball career in the United States, playing at Grand Ledge High School in Michigan before playing college basketball at the University of Florida, where he won two NCAA Championships, Horford has not been shy about being a Dominican, proudly hoisting the flag when he won the NBA title with the Celtics while also representing the country in various international competitions.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, the big Dominican was eventually drafted by the Atlanta Hawks as their #3 pick in 2007 before being named to the NBA All-Rookie First Team in 2008. He eventually became a three-time NBA All-Star and won Bronze at the 2011 FIBA Americas Championship.

Horford is also married to one of the Dominican Republic's biggest celebrities, former Miss Universe Amalia Vega. He spent his early career with the Atlanta Hawks before he went to the Boston Celtics.

He was soon traded to the Philadelphia 76ers in 2019 before heading to the Oklahoma City Thunder the next year. In 2021, "Big Al" went back to Boston where he eventually won the NBA title as he helped the C's win its record 18th NBA championship.
