    Damn man every time Ray Allen comes up why we gotta talk about him leaving Boston. Why can't we leave that in past and appreciate this guy's work ethic and accomplishments.

      @bandaekwaro Před 6 lety +5

      True!!I am tired of people talking about some grown-ups being mad at Ray because he chosed to leave an environment for a better one!!!!When you appreciate someone, you accept their choices!!! Kg is being a pussy!!

    • @brianchua4240
      @brianchua4240 Před 6 lety +2

      Wasn't Ray Allen's last year in 2012 with Boston also a rocky one? Rumors of trade talks, and then signing Jason terry before resigning Allen?
      If they don't want ya, leave. Period

      Bird was a shell of himself and they stayed loyal to him,but got rid cornbread Maxwell,who not only showed up in the finals,but saved birds legacy. Cb was the finals mvp and no one dates speak on birds horrible finals,that's what I call the LeBron effect,the detract him so much but other stars get a pass on their worst moments in the playoffs,Jason Terry lit kobes ass up and the mavz swept the back to back Lakers,did okc in as well,but their a weak championship team.

  • @wizdomtrust1596
    @wizdomtrust1596 Před 6 lety +35

    They should have treated him like KG, Pierce, and even Rondo and then he wouldn't have left in the first place. They acted like Ray Allen was Kirk Hinrich, cuttin' his minutes with no remorse like he was replaceable, offering him a shit contract, and so he dipped. "You don't know what you've got till it's gone."

    • @SwishScopeOfficial
      @SwishScopeOfficial Před 6 lety

      But Rondo and Pierce was on the trade table too. So was KG and Pierce again year later. AND RAY STILL PLAYED OFF THE BENCH IN MIAMI EVEN THOUGH BOSTON OFFERED MORE. I swear ya'll skip half the details.
      At the end of the day, if Ray has a problem with Danny Ainge and the front office, go ahead and stick it to 'em, but he should've thrown his teammates a call and formally let them know after what they've been through. Pierce used to console Ray all the time over the phone and apparently he didn't deserve a call either.

    • @adammwakikoti2759
      @adammwakikoti2759 Před 6 lety +2

      The bridge was burnt before they offered him more cash. The bridge was burnt when Ainge told him he needed to sign the doo doo contract. You just don't do that to the guy that was the best three point shooter the league had seen to that point.

    I get it. The animosity was towards the front office for not offering a bigger contract to a point he decided to go to a different team that paid him less. He didn't wanna give Celtics that satisfaction of taking a low ball deal when they said he's family. We all know Celtics are not loyal lol.

    • @AerysTMD

    Ray is a class act. He never speaks about how Boston always puts him in the trade block every year and actually did get traded but the deadline was passed. Then he was going to be a backup behind a unproven young Avery Bradley. Celtics were ready to dismantle the team and ray took the first chance to get out. And then look. Boston traded everybody

    @EM-ny4dx Před 6 lety +20

    Boston was both foolish and stupid. They should have payed the man and signed him. For some reason I don't like the way they treated Ray Allen. That was a slap to his face. They made him feel unappreciated. Very unprofessional. He deserved better treatment. So Ray said. I'm headed to Miami. That was his slap back on Boston for not giving him a little more money and signing him. Ray Allen is a Veteran of the game. Boston did him cold. They are the ones that betrayed Ray Allen. No respect or appreciation for what Ray brought to the game.. Boston screwed themselves and should be blamed. Not Ray.. Bunch of Idiots!!
    P.S) Why didn't they ask Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett to take a pay cut for their buddy to keep him in Boston. Since KG was upset about it. He felt Ray betrayed the team but really it was the other way around. So why didn't KG offer a pay cut of his salary to keep Ray.. that was another option or maybe other players.
    RAY ALLEN was a professional basketball player. A veteran of the game. He deserved better treatment and appreciation. He helped Boston win a championship. KG pissed at Ray for no reason. Ray did what was best for himself. No apologies and it paid off. He won a championship with miami. I think that really pissed off KG even more. Knowing that Ray Allen got one more ring than KG. It hurts but paybacks a ******* . Don't blame Ray. Blame Boston KG. You're taking it on the wrong guy. They making Ray Allen to be the scapegoat for Bostons own mistake. - Get over it!.. 😭.

  • @Mattitude23
    @Mattitude23 Před 6 lety +2

    i'm so glad Ray came out to speak publicly and address the many questions that surrounded what happened with the Celtics. Ray did what he had to do for his career after finding out that Doc and Ainge wanted to go another direction and basically telling Ray ,"Hey it's up to you if you want to come on board with us or not, but we are not going to pay you what you want." Meanwhile Pat Riley comes along, offers Ray what he wants AND an opportunity to win another ring. I would've done the same thing. It's all about business.

      I mean apparently it wasn't a money issue but he felt disrespected, unappreciated he was told he was family when he joined them then they turn around and try to trade him numerous times or his name was in the conversation like he was washed up he one upped them by going to an rival contender for less money and winning a ring they were salty bc they thought he would take a backseat to the bs bc he was a good guy so he put his real family over his fake one plus Rondo is the real 🐍 he thought he was better than Ray( never that) so he got even he's not a dummy he made a G move before they could on him.

      That's how you know he messed up and he is just trying to excuse himself from what he did. Another sign, is KG not talking to him. You know KG is loyal to the point that he finished his career in Minnesota. Ray Allen left the Celtics not even talking to his teammates or calling them to let them know. He knew he was going to a team that was challenging them to win the Eastern Conference at the time.

      Baby Purn ok bet but then you can’t say it was “business”, Boston offered above market value apparently cuz he took a $3M deal instead $6M. It was personal, he didn’t like Rondo, didn’t like Bradley getting his minutes, and he thought he was still worthy of big contracts. Miami was the perfect place to give it back to Boston.

    They were more than rivals that year, come on Ray. These teams played each other in the 2010 playoff with D wade and then the Celtics went on to beat Lebron's Cavs. That following offseason Lebron goes to Miami to beat YOU guys because he couldn't do it alone. Then they played in the 2011 playoffs and then meet again in the 2012 Conference Finals in one of the best series I've ever seen. If you go back and watch those games from that 3 year period, you can tell the animosity and hatred the 2 teams had for each other. there barely went a game where there wasn't an altercation between the 2 teams. Truly believe this was the last real old school rivalry the NBA had, so stop Ray, everyone on both sides of the locker room knew there was a personal distate for each other at that time

    Rays my favorite player of all time. Bias aside.

    They offered him a contract last, didnt give him what he wanted
    They let others make him offers
    They waited till the last minute to offer him said contract
    They sided with Rondo
    They debated and probably would have started avery Bradley over him (which is a good basketball decision but understand Ray had never come off the bench since his rookie year)
    Everything points to this being more of a busines decision and I personally dont or never will hold anything against him, he got a second ring out of it, a happy ending to his career and as a die hard Celtics fan im happy for him.
