The 75 greatest NBA players of the 2010s, ranked

31) Al Horford

Veteran big man Al Horford is currently in his 17th season in the NBA and still playing a key role despite being one of the oldest players in the league. If he is still effective at age 38, that gives fans an idea of just how effective he was in his early 20s at the start of the 2010s. 

Horford started his career with the Atlanta Hawks and spent most of his prime with the team, serving as a versatile, two-way big man who could do a little bit of everything. As a result, the Hawks made the playoffs each of his nine years there. And in his seven seasons with the Hawks during the 2010s, he posted 15 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks in 497 games. 

In 2015, he signed with the Boston Celtics and played three seasons with them to close out the decade during his first stint. In total, Horford logged 705 games in the 2010s and put up 14.6 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks. That resulted in him making five all-star teams and an All-NBA team, making him one of the most underrated players of his era.
