Yesterday, we ran the story about Lebron James feeling Kevin Garnett & Paul Pierce owe former Celtics teammate Ray Allen an apology. Lebron felt that after the way KG & Pierce treated Allen for leaving Boston to join the Heat, that they were hypocrites for themselves leaving Boston for Brooklyn. Lebron does have a point. I know Garnett & Pierce were technically traded, but it was a trade they both wanted to happen, which is why KG waived his no-trade clause so the deal would go through. Even former Celtics coach Doc Rivers made sure he got out of town before Boston became a rebuilding team. KG, never one to back down from something fired back at Lebron. Hit the jump.

ALl of this small drama certainly made the lead up to last night’s preseason game between the Heat and Nets bigger than usual. When Garnett was asked what he thought about Lebron’s comments he replied “Tell LeBron to worry about Miami. It has nothing to do with Celtic business”. To a point, Garnett is right. Lebron doesn’t have anything to do with Celtics business, but with Ray Allen now his teammate he was only defending him, which he has a right to do. None of the big 3 from Boston honestly wanted to be part of the team rebuilding. Ray just got out of town faster than his ex-teammates. But when the finger is pointed at them about doing the same thing, all they can say is “mind your business”. I think Lebron is right about what he said. For anyone who missed it, check the video below of what Lebron said.
