What Beef? Ray Allen And Kevin Garnett Have Finally Put Aside Their Differences 

 

Ray Allen joined the Boston Celtics in 2007 in hopes of creating something special, and he didn’t disappoint as they managed to clinch a title in 2008 against the Los Angeles Lakers. However, a crucial decision in Allen’s career sparked the end of an era for the Celtics and their ‘Big 3’ of Garnett, Pierce and Allen.

Come summer of 2012, Ray Allen, who was bothered by previous trade rumors and contract dispute in Boston, made a decision to join their Eastern Conference rival Miami Heat, who at that time, were obviously the team to beat and the biggest roadblock to his former Celtics team.

Allen’s decision didn’t sit well with his Boston teammates, particularly Kevin Garnett. Garnett, Pierce and Rondo have been feuding with Allen ever since he left, but now, ten years later, things have finally changed for the better.

During the All-Star weekend in Cleveland already, where both Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett, alongside their former teammate Paul Pierce, were honored as members of the NBA’s 75 team, Garnett and Allen were seen talking to each other for the first time since Allen left for Miami.

Then, last night, during Kevin Garnett’s Boston Celtics jersey retirement ceremony, Allen was one of the guest and the two shared a hug that ended in a group hug.
