Al Horford came to limelight after he joined the Boston Celtics in 2016. However, this man is one of the few centres who has played the entire decade.

From Atlanta Hawks to Boston Celtics and now, Philadelphia 76ers, Horford has made a great impact on both the ends of the floor. He has a career average of 14.1 points, 8.4 rebounds, 1.2 blocks and shoots at a rate of 52.4% from the field. He was hardly a 3-point shooter till 2015, but with the "Big Men" dropping in those threes becoming a trend, Horford improved his 3-point shooting drastically. He currently shoots at a rate of 36.6% from the 3-point line.

In 2015, Horford helped the Atlanta Hawks reach the Conference Finals and did the same in 2017 and 2018 for the Boston Celtics. With that, he is a five-time NBA All-Star, one-time All-NBA and one-time All-Defense. His stats and achievements make him one of the best centres of the last decade.
