Highlights of Al Horford’s defensive performance against Joel Embiid during game seven of the playoff series between the Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers (5/14/2023).
Big Al has historically been the best defender on Embiid. He is strong enough to not get bullied and is smart enough to not fall for up fakes. Most of Embiids buckets on Al were fadeway type shots
Size vs skill embiid has 40pds and 3 inches on horford but can’t back him down because horford knows positioning when to jump and when to switch guess that’s what happens when you’ve spent nearly 20 years in the nba
