Pure hate in the NBA All-Star Game: Kevin Garnett revived his old grudges against Ray Allen [Video]

The one who was considered the first ‘Big 3’ of the modern era made up of Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen in the Boston Celtics still provides material to cut, but not in the way that fans expect because this Sunday, in the All-Star Game, it was noted that Garnett still holds grudges towards Allen.

In the tributes made by the NBA for his 75 years, almost all the members of the 75 best players in the history of the league, but one of the meetings that stood out was the look of hatred and indifference that Garnett gave to the see Ray Allen.

At the time of the ex-Miami’s presentation, Garnett decided to keep his eyes fixed and avoid greeting Allen, who met LeBron James recalling the title they both won in 2013.

Allen responded with the same indifference and went to his place for the photo that the league was going to take of all the attendees for the anniversary.

Garnett’s hatred of Allen is long-standing and it all goes back to 2012, the date on which the tripler left the Celtics to join the Heat. This marked a break between the trio, including his relationship with Pierce.

According to Ray Allen himself in an interview for the ESPN program First Take, the original plan was for the ‘Big 3’ to retire in Boston, so they would seek to renew contracts for their final seasons . The problem is, according to Ray, management snubbed him by last dealing with him.

“I wanted a contract and we wanted to make sure that we all retired together… They signed the others and when it was my turn it was like ‘this is what we have left for you,’” he said.

After this, as a free agent, he decided to sign with Miami for two years and six million dollars, exactly half of what Boston offered him, but he didn’t want to renew because he felt slighted.

Since then, a feud arose that was not only on display at the All-Star Game, but also when Allen was left off the Celtics’ 10th anniversary championship roster for the season 550-2012 or when Massachusetts currency withdrew the Garnett and Allen’s number did not attend.
