On October 22, Beijing time, the NBA officially announced the complete list of the 75 superstars in NBA history. Celtics star, the Green Army's big three of the year Ray Allen, Garnett and Pierce were all selected for the 75! As a fan, I think it is also a double happiness for Ray Allen and Garnett. In addition to being selected for the 75, there are also unexpected gains: Garnett and Ray Allen's ten-year feud may have been revealed, and the two are likely to use this as an opportunity to reconcile!
The conflict between Ray Allen and Garnett erupted in the summer of 2012. At that time, Ray Allen's contract with the Celtics expired and needed to be re-contracted. In fact, Ray Allen did not mean to leave the Celtics at that time, he just wanted a long-term contract. On the one hand, it gives yourself a guarantee for your career, and on the other hand, it also means the respect you deserve for your dedication to the Celtics over the years.
However, in the minds of the Celtics management at the time, Ray Allen was already dispensable. His playing time was gradually eroded by Bradley, who was at odds with the team's fast-growing ball-handling core Rondo. During Ray Allen's contract, the Celtics have begun to consider trading Ray Allen. At one point, Ray Allen had even been informed to pack his bags and leave, but the last-minute deal was unsuccessful.
In the end, the Celtics gave Ray Allen a two-year, $12 million contract. This was unacceptable for Ray Allen, who felt he was not getting the respect he deserved. Ray Allen angrily rejected the Celtics' contract and opted to accept a $3 million contract from the Heat. You know, the Heat were the Celtics' main opponent in the East at the time!
Ray Allen's choice to join the Heat made Garnett angry. Garnett always saw Ray Allen as a betrayer of the team. Since then, Garnett has cut off communication with Ray Allen. There was a photo of ray Allen, Garnet, Pierce and Rondo at the event at the 2011 All-Star Game. Garnett cut off the photo directly when he was retweeted on his personal social media! This shows Garnett's attitude toward Ray Allen.
In fact, Ray Allen made the choice to join the Heat at that time, and Garnett was also responsible. When Ray Allen and Rondo were at odds, Garnett was not on Ray Allen's side. When Ray Allen and the Celtics were negotiating a contract extension, Ray Allen was said to want to stay and asked Garnett for help. With Garnett's position in the team at the time, he could have helped Ray Allen get the ideal contract to stay. But Garnett refused to help Ray Allen, telling him the team would make a decision!
Garnett and Ray Allen's ten-year feud has always been a regret in the hearts of Green Army fans! This time, Ray Allen, Garnett and Pierce were all selected for the 75th, and it was not expected to become an opportunity for Garnett and Ray Allen to reconcile. After deciding that Ray Allen and Pierce were selected, Garnett congratulated him on his personal social media: "Congratulations to Allen and Pierce for being selected in the 75. It is an honor and you deserve it. Congratulations to the kings! RESPECT！ ”
Ray Allen then retweeted Garnett's congratulations on his personal social media! It seems that Ray Allen has been waiting for a reconciliation from Garnett, but in this matter, Garnett is too stubborn! Personally, I think that in the feud between Ray Allen and Garnett, Garnett's responsibility is also greater, and his heart is smaller!
