Legendary NFL quarterback Tom Brady expressed his approval in a unique and humorous way regarding Al Horford’s outfit choice for the Boston Celtics’ championship parade.
On the morning of the parade, Horford arrived donning a distinctive shirt featuring an image of Brady from a particularly memorable moment—his slightly inebriated celebration during the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Super Bowl parade.
The image on Horford’s shirt wasn’t just any moment; it captured Brady in high spirits, celebrating his seventh Super Bowl victory.
This was the same day when an exuberant Brady famously threw the Lombardi Trophy from his boat to another across the water.

Reflecting on this incident, Brady later admitted to being significantly tipsy, which influenced his decision to toss the trophy, a risky move that could have ended with the trophy at the bottom of the bay. “I was definitely inebriated, because had I not been, I don’t think I would’ve taken the chance realizing that thing would’ve fallen like 90 ft. to the bottom of the bay,” Brady recounted in an interview with People.
Reacting to Horford’s playful nod to his parade antics, Brady took to social media to share his sentiments. He posted a GIF of Jack Nicholson nodding approvingly, a famous scene from the 2003 film “Anger Management.” This response not only highlighted Brady’s good humor about the reference but also his tacit endorsement of Horford’s creative tribute.
While Horford’s outfit choice was unlikely to surpass the sheer spontaneity and daring of Brady’s trophy toss, it certainly added a clever and memorable twist to his parade appearance.
Horford’s decision to wear the shirt was both a commendable nod to another athlete’s championship celebration and a testament to the camaraderie and mutual respect that can exist between sports stars across different disciplines.
This moment of inter-sport homage underscores the light-hearted and celebratory spirit of championship parades, making Horford’s approach to his attire a noteworthy and delightful aspect of the Celtics’ parade festivities.
