On March 14, Beijing time, the Boston Celtics played at home against the Lone Rangers. In this game, the Celtics will retire the number 5 jersey of meritorious player Kevin Garnett. According to The Boston Globe reporter Gary Washburn, the Green Army invited Ray Allen to the jersey retirement ceremony, and the Green Army 08 champion group will be reunited at home.
Garnett's jersey retirement ceremony was originally scheduled for February 14, 2020. However, due to the new crown epidemic at that time, the game was empty, so the Green Army decided to postpone the date of the retirement of the KG jersey. With the arrival of March 14, the Green Army also began to prepare for the event.
Garnett joined the Greens in 2007, forming the Big Three with Ray Allen and Paul Pierce. In 2008, KG helped the Green Army win the championship; in 2010, he returned to the finals with the Green Army, but unfortunately lost after 7 big battles with the Lakers.
During Garnett's Green Army career, Ray Allen and Pierce were his two most important teammates. But over the past decade, Garnett and Ray Allen have had a bad relationship, and the two have not been in contact with each other. But starting with today's All-Star Game, the Big Three of the Green Army are back together and posted a group photo of the three on social media.
The Green Army held a jersey retirement ceremony for Garnett, and Ray Allen was also invited. It also marks the normalization of relations between the three giants of the Green Army. It is worth mentioning that after Garnett retired the jersey, only Ray Allen was left in the Big Three who did not retire the jersey. I wonder if the Green Army is considering retiring Ray Allen's No. 20 shirt in the future?
