In addition, he started in 42 of the 60 games he played with Boston, showing that he can still contribute at a high level.\n\nWith more than <strong>100 three-pointers made in each of the last three seasons<\/strong> and a solid <strong>41% success rate from the perimeter<\/strong>, the Warriors consider him an ideal complement to the stellar trio composed of <strong>Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler III and Draymond Green<\/strong>.\n\nDefensively, he also provides guarantees. According to GeniusIQ, Horford recorded a <strong>46% field goal percentage allowed defending isolations<\/strong>, the seventh-best mark in the NBA in 2024-25.\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Legacy in the NBA<\/h3>\n\n\nHorford becomes one of the few players in history with at least <strong>900 three-pointers and 1,300 blocks<\/strong>, sharing that distinction with Rasheed Wallace, Brook Lopez, and Clifford Robinson.\n\nWith this signing, the Dominican player expands his legacy in the league and joins a Golden State project that seeks to maintain competitiveness in the Western Conference while betting on experience and versatility in the center position.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SANTO DOMINGO. \u2014 Dominican veteran Al Horford has reached a verbal agreement to sign a multi-year contract with the Golden State Warriors, according to his agent Jason Glushon confirmed to ESPN this Sunday.
