Al Horford’s sister Anna Horford did not hold back when a fan passed a rude comment about the Celtics star’s son in a recent video where he was having basketball practice with his father. "NBA 3’s at nine years old,” Anna captioned in the video of Ean that she shared. A rude fan who appears to be a Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid’s fan responded to the video saying, "Little bros foot was on the line that’s a f*ckin 2." It was hard for Anna to digest the comment as she embroiled herself in a verbal spat with the fan with back-and-forth comments.
"Appropriate that you called my nephew little bro since we all know who Embiid’s father is," the NBA star’s sister responded. The heated exchange further escalated when the X user who goes by Joel Embiid Truther under the username @EmbiidIsHim replied, "Would you rather I have called him a stupid little f*ckin toolbag that couldn’t hit a 3?"
Defending her nephew, Anna added, "Not sure why you’d talk about Embiid like that when you’re supposed to be a stan account."
It appears that Ean enjoys playing basketball like his father. In a previous chat with the NY Times, the 38-year-old shared that his son is also involved with the Celtics. "He’s so involved with the team. He really loves being a Celtic. He just really relishes it,” Horford said. “And to see him throughout the season being so invested in it, so committed with it, my girls too, my (four) daughters are super into it, but he’s playing now so he’s starting to understand it a little more," he added.
Horford is married to former Miss Universe, Amelia Vega. The couple share five children together including Ean, Alía, Ava, Nova and their youngest Mila.
As for Joel Embiid, he has been in the recent headlines following his return update as he is expected to give a much-needed boost to his team, the Philadelphia 76ers.
