Boston Celtics' Al Horford has become an NBA champion. Horford played 186 games in the playoffs before he won his first-ever NBA title. His wife, Amelia Vega, was proud of him. In a never-ending series of pictures and posts that Vega shared on her social media, one was the prophecy that her son made just a month ago.

Vega posted a picture of the prophecy that her son, Ean, had made on May 9. He had written on white paper with a green pencil that he dreamt the Boston Celtics had won the championship.

Vega shared the story that she had posted in May.

“I dreamed that Bos won championship. It started when DAD told me to come to bench the confetti fell I ran to half court and cried with happy tears a hug with mom and dad I grabbed the Larry O’Brian Trophy. The END,” the text in the picture said.
