Ever since Ray Allen decided to go to Miami as a free agent i might add, he's gotten a lot slack about. He's been called a traitor all over the place in the NBA universe. I've been listening and thinking about the comments about him and i don't think people realize he did nothing at all. First of all the Heat aren't a rivalry to the Celtics, their just a team that has beaten them last two years in the playoffs. Rivalry is Lakers vs Celtics or Bulls vs Knicks. Hating the Miami Heat is just the now thing to hate as of now and that will change in the next couple of years anyway. Allen wasn't drafted or came to Boston as a free agent, he was traded from Seattle to Boston and guess what he gave them 4 years, 2 finals appearance, and 1 title. So, people are asking "wheres the loyalty?" What loyalty? The Celtics weren't loyal with him either, they tried trading him the last two years, lost his starting spot, and they went and signed Jason Terry. Loyalty goes both ways but guess what this is a business. He has all the right to go play with the one of the best players in the league, for less money, and a chance for another ring at the age of 36. As fans we get so caught up on the word loyalty but forget this a business and when you're a a free agent, you can do anything you want to do whats best for you. You can't make everybody happen when making those decisions in your life.
