Tho it isn't very damned likely, (a snowball's chance in Hell) in my heart of hearts, I would still love to see him go back to Boston & retire as a Celtic. I thought that once they traded Rondo, it might be possible...

 

[CallMeBruce]

After the way Boston fans turned on him, I can't imagine he'd want to do that.

 

[CAHUSKY]

Come on Ray, Golden State, Golden state damnit!!!

Come on Ray, Golden State, Golden state damnit!!!

Not sure whose minutes he takes on GSW. Barbosa's 13 minutes per game?

 

[Scoe]

Come on Ray, Golden State, Golden state damnit!!!

If that does happen I wonder if Ray would be the first player to play with a father and son, he played with Dell on the Bucks, in fact Ray brought Dell to the 99 game vs Duke.

I was going to say the same thing, but sarcastically.

What better way to win the Boston fans back?

He shouldn't have to "win the Boston fans back" at all. They treated him horribly when he left. He didn't spend his entire career in Boston. He spent 5 of his 18 years in the NBA in Boston. Not even a third of his career. Nothing but a class act and they threw him under the bus. Still makes me angry how some Boston fans reacted when he left.

I totally agree with you, Dove. The problem isn't with Ray...never was. Still, it must bother Ray that he gets booed everytime he goes back to the city where he helped win a world championship.

Oh, cool, this again.

I'm not a Celtics fan, but...

1. It isn't that he left, it's who he left for

2. Think of how this board reacted to Oriakhi leaving for a random SEC school. Now imagine this board if he had left for Duke, Kentucky, or Syracuse. No, Oriakhi isn't as much of a professional as Ray is, but the tolerance level for college kids should be higher. (For the record, I have no problem with Oriakhi, but I'm not sure I could say the same if he transferred to a rival program).

I don't think UConn fans cared where Oriakhi transferred to, after that mess with him and his father.

Respect your opinion champs, but there are a ton of factors that makes those two scenarios a lot different. And I really don't want to get into it because I don't want to turn this thread into an Alex Oriakhi thread or a "is Ray Allen a bad person for going to Miami" thread.
