A lot of Boston Celtics fans got really upset, when Ray Allen left, in free agency to join the Miami Heat. Dude signed with the Heat, just weeks after the Celtics lost to them, for the second straight year. Then, he went and hit the clutch three-pointer to beat the Spurs.
Ray Allen was a part of the “Big 3” Boston Celtics era, when he was traded, along with Kevin Garnett, to join Paul Pierce. In their first season, the Celtics won their only title. Two years later, they came close to winning another, but Kobe Bryant’s Lakers won two straight.
Because Ray Allen helped Miami win two straight, he got two rings, instead of the one his former teammates got. The next couple of seasons in the league were tense, but they’ve all retired now, except for Rondo. Today, Rondo, along with KG and Doc Rivers were at the Celtics’ game against Cleveland, for Pierce’s jersey retirement, and Twitter is going in on Ray Allen for golfing with George Lopez and Chris Spencer.
