Nice article. Great that he is getting recognition. One of my favorite Gator bball players. Still remember when he was a freshman and dominated the glass against a solid Bama team at O'Dome. The crowd was chanting his name by the end of the game.

They are only getting that respect because they are earning it. Hawks have been playing great all season.

The title said "Al Horford", one of the mods must have changed it.

Horford was battling an injury before that Ohio State game, and he could sense the team’s younger big men were nervous about stepping up. He approached Donovan before tipoff and suggested the coach counsel them one last time. “You cannot put a price tag on his basketball IQ,” Donovan says, “and on how he creates chemistry.” The team nicknamed Horford “The Godfather,” because he knew what everyone was doing and thinking, and how to provide just the right quiet advice.

Veterans on the Atlanta team that Horford joined in 2008 noticed his maturity right away. “As a veteran, you see all these rookies come in with certain priorities,” says Zaza Pachulia, a member of that team. “You could see Al was different from other rookies. He just wanted to win.” Horford would often call Donovan during that rookie season and ask for tips on how he could put Josh Smith in better positions, the coach says.

That team was all about team chemistry. The best I ever saw in college/
