Boston Celtics big man Al Horford had nothing but praise for New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady after the future Hall of Famer pulled off a thrilling come-from-behind victory against the Kansas City Chiefs to secure yet another Super Bowl berth.

Horford told A. Sherrod Blakely of NBC Sports Boston:

“There's no debate of who the best of all time is. I know he probably doesn't want to talk about that. We'll say it for him. We all know that he's the best and we should celebrate and enjoy it because it's something very special.”

The Patriots and Chiefs played an AFC Championship Game for the ages this past weekend. It was Brady versus young star Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes will likely be the MVP of the league and has proven himself to be an elite talent only in his sophomore year.

Mahomes' performance didn't matter because of Brady's late brilliance. The Patriots received the ball in overtime and stormed down the field for the win, with Brady completing clutch third down after clutch third down to put them in position to win it and set up a Super Bowl matchup with the Los Angeles Rams.

Al Horford couldn't help but be impressed by the living legend, and the veteran big man will be rooting for Brady and the Patriots in the Super Bowl. As for the Celtics big man himself, he is again having a very good season for Brad Stevens in Boston. He's averaging 12.2 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 3.6 assists while shooting 51.9 percent from the field and 36.4 percent from beyond the arc.
