For me. “I’ve never set a deadline (for retirement),” Horford said. “I want to make sure I’m healthy. To continue to enjoy what I do, and fortunately I have the support of my wife and family This is very important to me… They’ve been asking me this for a few years now and I feel good about it. Why not do it? “I don’t want to limit myself,” he explained.
