Celtics big man Al Horford, who is returning to the team next year, packed them in at “Raising Cane’s” on Boylston Street.

Horford, a hero of the Title run and a fan favorite, was filming a commercial Thursday and just being an all-around nice guy to fans a day ahead of the Duck Boat parade.

“Man, it’s a special place to me. I feel like for me, it’s the love of the people here for their sports, for the game,” Horford told the Herald. “I’ve been all over the country and I just haven’t seen the love, the care, the commitment from people not only towards their sport, but their community.

“That’s very special,” he added about the Hub.
