Tonight’s game should be very entertaining after these comments from LeBron James & Dwyane Wade! LeBron ripped Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce & Doc Rivers over Ray Allen. Bron & Wade both think they owe Ray Allen an apology. Report after the jump…
Via ESPN:
Thursday night when they Heat face the Nets for the first time since Brooklyn’s league-shaking summer trade, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade think some ex-Celtics on the Nets might owe the ex-Celtic on the Heat an apology.
A year ago there was a stream of vitriol from Boston aimed at Ray Allen after he chose to sign with the Heat in the offseason. Kevin Garnett said he lost Allen’s number, Paul Pierce said he hadn’t forgiven him and Doc Rivers implied Allen had an ego problem.
All have said in various ways that it was a tough decision but they wanted to move on to a better situation. That was essentially Allen’s position in 2012 and James and Wade aren’t afraid to hint at hypocrisy.
“I think the first thing I thought was ‘wow, Ray got killed for leaving Boston and now these guys are leaving Boston,'” James said.
“I think it’s OK, I didn’t mind it. But there were a couple guys who basically (expletive) on Ray for leaving and now they’re leaving. That’s the nature of our business, man. I don’t know what Boston was going through at the end of the day. I know Ray had to make the best decision for him and his family and his career. Doc, KG and Paul did that as well. You can’t criticize someone who does something that’s best for their family.”
