Horford spends time teaching basketball to youth abroad



Hawks center Al Horford is living proof of the NBA’s global impact on the game of basketball.

Dominican-born and the son of former NBA player Tito Horford, he grew up admiring the game from afar.

That’s why Horford said was so eager to be a part of the Basketball Without Borders Americas program that wrapped up Sunday night in Mexico City. It was his chance to give back to children who are growing up the same way.

A joint venture by the NBA and the international basketball federation FIBA, the developmental program uses the sport to create positive social change in education, health and awareness around the globe.

“I always wanted to be able to help out, anything I could do with the NBA, as far as helping to spread the word internationally,” Horford said. “The game has truly gone global. And it’s important to go out and spend time with kids and make a difference. When they asked me if I was interested, I was in right away.

“It’s even better for me this year, with this camp being in Latin America, because I’m able to relate and talk to kids here and really do some positive things for the NBA and basketball in general.”

He's okay for a PF, but if we're going to continue using him at C, I'd like to see him put on some muscle.

What keeps Horford from being Karl Malone? He's soft. Hope he looks at this post and see's what can be done in a year. The Hawks need to have these expectations of him as well.

Horford can be great. I just dont think anyone has asked him too.
