""If you're my teammate, I'm with you and I have your back and I'm all about you," Horford told ESPN. "But all this hugging and half court at the end of the game and all this friendship. No." The dinner was casual. Camp was a week away. Horford wasn't officially signed because of the Jonathan Kuminga stalemate, but he was committed."
"In the 2022 NBA Finals opener, Horford hit six 3s and scored 26 points in San Francisco, wresting away immediate series control for the Boston Celtics as he ached for his first title in his 15th season. It was one of the best games of his career. But it was soon followed by one of the most devastating. "Then we talked about Game 4," Curry said. "When we kind of ripped it from him.""
Al Horford attended a San Diego dinner with opponents days before signing with the Golden State Warriors and kept an old-school, non-fraternizing stance toward rivals. He insists on loyalty to teammates and avoids offseason camaraderie with opponents. Stephen Curry recalled conversations about Horford's Game 1 and Game 4 performances in the 2022 NBA Finals, when Horford hit six 3s and Curry later scored 43 to flip the series. Curry texted Horford in July, and team insiders say Horford independently decided to join the Warriors, a move GM Mike Dunleavy considered finalized.
