Ray Allen on Kevin Garnett: He has 'forgotten the genesis' of our relationship

Ray Allen discusses his former Boston Celtics teammates discussing their relationship with him on "KG's Area 21," and says he felt Kevin Garnett had 'forgotten the genesis' of their relationship.

Hi,
Gee, wee. Ray, let it go. You made that decision, nobody put a gun to your head and forced you to do it.
You think you did the right thing - fine, but the rest of your crew have a different opinion. So, stop trying to change it. All your efforts look ridiculous.

Ray Allen. Total class. Accountable for his own actions, intelligent, well spoken. Certainly comes across well and seems to rise above his few outspoken former teammates in terms of maturity and reason when dealing with his departure from Boston. Pierce seems to be coming around to that realization. KG and Rondo may never get over themselves enough to figure it out. On the court, at least, they were fun to watch together for a couple of seasons.

Stephen A. Smith. Well, he's closer to being under control here than usual. Must have been an off day.

Ray is a traitor, oh management didn’t have enough money for me. KG and I grew up together....yada yada yada so you leave, going to the enemy for LESS money....???? KG obviously took being a champion and being a Celtic very seriously. He says KG forgot, well he forgot childhood roots and loyalty obviously, I had to make the best decision for me....he should have added to fuck Kevin, now he acts all innocent. Then I was in LA, nobody called me for Paul’s retirement, I
didn’t even know. Well nobody called me and I and the whole public
heard about it. Glad the traitor wasn’t invited.

Ray Allen, totally classless. Refuses to take responsibility for how his decision impacted his teammates even though he is intelligent and well spoken. Certainly comes across as self absorbed and unable to rise above his pettiness and unwillingness to engage protesting his innocence. Pierce is clearly taking the high and more mature road but there is probably a reason he didn't invite Ray to his retirement. Funny how Pierce didn't invite Ray and wanted no part of sharing his night with IT. KG and Rondo are real, they don't play BS games. Let's hope Ray figures it out. On the court they were fun to watch but there were always back stories that Ray kept his distance from the others on the team some of their events. But at least they would trick or treat with each other. Maybe that is what they are still doing.

Actually, Allen was invited.

Didn't go because he thought it would be a distraction given past events. Said he thought the focus belonged on Pierce and his night.
