Isaiah Thomas used his son to troll Al Horford’s free throw flinch

Al Horford just finished his 10th season in the NBA, but every so often, a very common occurrence in basketball seems to catch the 6-foot-10 forward off guard.

Most recently during the Eastern Conference Finals, Cavs forward Kevin Love missed the first of two shots at the line, prompting Horford to cower as the ball bounces off the rim in his direction. His fearful response isn’t new. Horford exhibited similar reactions to missed free throws as a member of the Atlanta Hawks in 2011 and 2015.

Celtics teammate Isaiah Thomas and his son, Jaden, poked fun at Horford’s flinching via Instagram Friday.
