Before the Heat and Nets’ game on Thursday night, LeBron James mentioned to reporters that he thought the Celtics (http://ftw.usatoday.com/2013/10/lebron-and-dwyane-wade-think-ex-celtics-owe-ray-allen-an-apology/) owed Ray Allen an apology for criticizing him for going to Miami — only for Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce, who were incredibly critical of their former teammate at the time, to go to Brooklyn a year later.
Garnett’s response? (via ESPN (http://espn.go.com/new-york/nba/story/_/id/9842139/kevin-garnett-brooklyn-nets-tells-lebron-james-worry-miami-heat))
“Tell LeBron to worry about Miami. It has nothing to do with Celtic business,” Garnett said.
Garnett also argued that he had been traded, not signed with another team as a free agent (though he did have to waive his no-trade clause (http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nba/2013/06/27/boston-celtics-brooklyn-nets-kevin-garnett-paul-pierce-kris-humphries-gerald-wallace/2465013/)).
More from ESPN:
“I left Boston?” Pierce said when asked of James’ comments.
While James may have been trying to stick up for Allen, Pierce’s comments make it clear it may be awhile before the bad blood between the former teammates is cleared up. Which is actually sad, not only for them, but for fans in Boston who enjoyed their run and would probably rather imagine their former stars hanging out and reminiscing about the old days than fighting about what they all decided to do next.
