I started playing basketball before I got into the NBA and then I started watching celtics games at my friends houses. wild to think that was decade and a half ago i bought a pair of magic adidas that i wore before i got into the NBA cause they were 20 dollars Edited March 26, 2021 by Troy Brown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't pay off, obviously, but it was the most fun I've ever had as a basketball fan. TBF tho, I am a military brat so I didn't get to Milwaukee until my formative years (8th grade). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seminoles1 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Uh, if Ray Allen left the Celtics at the same time as Pierce and KG then he would not be some deified figure. He got another title and made not only one of the most iconic shots in NBA history, but is intrinsically linked to a top 3 player ever. His all-time legacy was improved because of his decision. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was CONVINCED we were winning the title that year. The Sixers series has forever stained me as a fan of the NBA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lied. The Fear the Deer year was the most fun I've ever had as a Bucks fan but that's obviously due to being older and more invested. That team was so damn fun and I'm convinced they would've been a problem for teams had Bogut not shattered his elbow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He absolutely would be in Boston. Go to the Cs reddit and see how much they're crying over Theis lol I don't know, man, I don't see Allen's legacy as much more than a role player on a LeBron team that made a huge shot. Agreed, iconic shot for sure, but he feels similar to players like Mike Miller, Shane Battiers, Jefferson, etc Obviously none of them hit that shot, but he was just a cog in the LeBron machine imop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or was that another year that the Bucks/Cs played right before the playoffs and beef was building up? (I know it was Amare who ruined Bogut, but I feel like Bogut being out was a good thing for the Cs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
