The Warriors have recently confirmed the signing of free agent Al Horford after a prolonged stretch of negotiations yielded no fruit with Jonathan Kuminga. Their front office has resumed business in full swing after everything was put on hold for the Kuminga negotiations.
It was almost considered imminent news at one point that Horford would sign with the Warriors, but it seems the Dub Nation (Warriors fans) had their feet in two boats over what they felt about Horford joining the team. While some were excited about the six-foot-nine-inch power forward joining the roster as a potential small-ball center, a post went viral on social media that showed what Horford’s sister Anna really felt about the Warriors.
Fans resurfaced an old post from the former NBA champion’s sister, which she wrote after the 2022 NBA Finals when the Celtics lost to the Warriors in six games.
“Congrats to the bi*** a** Warriors. Yes, I’m salty. Yes, it was a shi**y loss. Love our guys & love how far we came. Sad for my brother, who played an amazing game. Go Cs.”
Warriors supporters saw this resurfaced post on X and made their feelings known about the same.
“Life comes at you kinda slow sometimes.”
“She’s probably livid.”
“She was insufferable during the finals.”
“The Anna Horford vs the Warriors Twitter is going to be a hilarious side story these next few seasons.”
“Her digital footprint is quite something lmaooo.”
“Anna Horford and that boy mama from the Rockets vs Warriors Twitter is going to be hilarious,” said a fan in reference to the intense back-and-forth between Draymond Green and Tari Eason’s mother from earlier this summer.
Al Horford averaged 12.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 2.8 assists while shooting 62.5% from three-point range in the 2022 NBA Finals, but that was not enough to surpass the Warriors. Naturally, his sister Anna Horford, who loves the Celtics dearly, was upset at the time.
Even now, Anna Horford has not held back on social media as she seemed to hint that she would’ve preferred if Horford stayed with the Celtics instead of joining the Warriors.
Following the confirmation of the signing, Anna Horford went on social media and shared a collage of images from her brother’s days on the Celtics, along with a picture of Paul Pierce crying, showing her ‘current mood’ about leaving.
“Boston Forever,” read the caption of her post, hinting at her gratitude and that her allegiances still lie with that team even when her brother has joined the Warriors. This shows that she might still resonate with the same feelings about the team, despite her brother’s addition to their roster.
Al Horford averaged 9.0 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 2.1 assists while shooting 36.3% from behind the arc on 5.2 attempts per game in 2024-25. This shows that the power forward can play as a solid stretch big for the Warriors alongside Quinten Post.
Once we get the details about the multi-year contract (expected to be a two-year, $11.7 million deal), we will get a better understanding of how the Warriors can proceed in the Jonathan Kuminga situation that persists for their front office.
