Do You Hate Ray Allen?

This guy still has the goods at age 38 with that posterizing dunk. I hate every other player on every other team typically. Putting that immature and unsportsmanlike perspective aside for just a moment, I don't hate Ray Allen because:

1) Never heard him in trouble with the law, league, or say something stupid like "all white people are bigots"
2) Any prime scorer with prime Bowen put on him that didn't have altercations would have been a pussy
3) Just because he lucked out and made that wide open 3, hell I could have made that shot

There's nothing to hate unless you're a Celtics fan.

Rayray was a total faking bitch when he was in Seattle and pretended his ankle was worse than it was, but you can chalk that up to gamesmanship, I suppose. He's not the first or last guy to try psychological warfare to keep Bruce Bowen out of his jockeys. He's been a really good player. He was kind of one-dimensional for much of his career, but bought into the system in Boston and turned into a really solid defender, earning his rings. He finally became clutch last year thanks to the Spurs' inability to secure a rebound. No real ill will toward the dude.

Howevuh, I'm unsure how that dunk was anything other than pedestrian. He had the entire court to get his speed up and chickenwinged the only defender near him. If that's an impressive dunk, then Kawhi Leonard is the fucking Dominique of the 2014 postseason.

It's an impressive dunk for the FOSSIL THAT WAS RAY ALLEN!!

Everytime he missed a three last night, I was like, "Couldn't have happened in Game 6". Will probably continue like that all series, much as I try to block it out.

He always been a bitch, but he's a competitor too, tbh

NO.
Nothing but respect and admiration.

Meh, they are more unlikeable players than him.

No.

But let me decide again after this series.

If he keep missing wide open 3s all is forgiven!

He has a slap-worthy face, but I wouldn't say I hate him.

Yes I agree something about his face does say "bitch slap me." I guess since the only real moment he had against us was a gift off a LeBron brick, it just qualifies as a fluke and/or coat tail rider moment. Decent player though.

He always has that fucked up smirk on his face

The bitch I really wanted to slap was Caron Butler always chawing that gum. Then he gets away with fouling Manu on what was to be a memorable dunk. What an ass.

I did when he played for Seatle and we had a rivalry with them. It seemed like he (and Seatle's whole team) would ALWAYS end up going to the free throw lone 50 times each game. But Ray is just a competitor and overtime you respect that. Never in the beginning though.

I've hated the piece of shit ever since he bitched to the media about Bruce Bowen.

Why the fuck would I hate him? Dude's a consummate professional and champion. He'll go down as a legendary hall of famer.

The only person I hate more in the league is Derek Fisher.

You'd literally have to be a psychopath to hate Ray Allen.

Legendary hall of famer my ass.. He's been riding coattails for about 10 years and never won a damn thing when he was the so called man..

He buried a series-saving clutch 3 in game 6. A lot of teams wouldn't have won rings without his shooting.

If I was a casual fan, I wouldn't dislike him, he doesn't have any off-court incidents and he isn't noticeably annoying or anything..

As a Spurs fan, of course I dislike him..his pussy whining about Bowen and in general, and then exacerbated by the buzzer-beater in game 6..

Hate's a strong word.

fuck ray allen, ring chasing bitch. chased in bos and chasing in mia.

hell of a shot tho.

game 1 spurs take it and the dick riders come out kissing the heats players asses... what the fuck? fuck allen!

He never used his daughter's illness to get out of a contract. So he's got that going for him.

I hate the way he tucks his jersey into his pregame warmup pants, it's gay as fuck. But no, don't hate him. Just want him to miss

He reminds me of Jesus Shuttlesworth

That dunk was for old guys world wide. thanks Ray.

ditto He's always had beef with Bowen and his body language sucks. Easy guy to hate

Reasons I dislike him
Whining about Bowen
Ring chaser
Always pushing off
The 3 in 6
The way he chews gum

Yes.

I wouldn't say hate, but he's bitchmade like most on the Heat and I hope he doesn't get another ring.

Nah...no hate here. There's really not anyone on the Heat that I hate.
Now, I know this is not about him, but I hate Jason Terry. Sorry, just can't read a thread asking about "hate" and not mentioning his name.

No, always respected him even though he and Bruce used to get into it.

Hate, no. Annoyance, yes.

He was a thorn in the Spurs' side even back in his days with Milwaukee when the Bucks owned the Spurs somehow. Again in 2005 with the Sonics, and of course in last year's Finals.

He's perfect for the Heat in that he's always scowling and putting on a puss face. There's no joy in basketball for him.

Ray is a class act, one of few real players still left in the game who understands the game and always brings something to the table.

You're the most spastic fuck on the forums. I imagine you're a real elegant dude IRL.

No. I hate his game 6 shot, it ruined everything we had going... but I don't hate him. He's a classy guy, all things considered, and doesn't make excuses for losing and gives respect where it is due.

My Team: Miami Heat

I hate that we repeatedly leave him wide open.

I dislike Ray

But I HATE Fisher, Westbrook, Ibaka, Reggie Jackson and Harden.

No


He has been so good for so long I gotta respect him.
I did love how Bowen used to get into his head when Ray was younger and tried to carry teams.

Yeah, me too.

Can't say I hate the man, but I lost a lot of respect for him when he joined the Heat after getting bent over by them the previous playoffs with Boston.

He saved LeBrons ass and validated The Decision.

Ray Allen is a big steaming pile of shit.

He left his old team (Celtics) to play for their rivals (Heat).

He hit that three in 6

He has this annoying facial expression when he's on fire or when he's chewing gum.

These are the reasons why I hate him. I do respect the way he goes about his business, very professional and seems like a hard worker. He gives credit where it's due even when he loses. Even then, it's hard not to hate him.

tbh i dont really care for him. just never was a fan. but any old dude that can still play and make huge shots and contribute like he constantly does has my respect.

He missed two in a row at one point, the second coming in the exact corner (several hundred miles away though) from his G6 shot. Was very surprised to see it rim out.

Why all the hate on Ray for that game tying 3 in Game 6 of the Finals last year? He was just doing what he's been doing his whole career.

Hate that the Spurs lost, sure, but don't hate on a man for doing his job and doing it well. Spurs got what they deserved for leaving the most prolific 3-point shooter in NBA history wide fucking open in the corner.

Except the fact that he left the celtics for the heat. That is a character flaw. You get paid millions, have some loyalty, even if your coach is a douche and your organization is "a business." Cannot stand the bandwagon players who jump ship. It is why I will stop watching basketball once our core is gone. There is zero character quality in the nba, just thugs and haterz

nothing but respect and admiration for him.. Oh and :lol @ belinelli getting posterized by a freaking unathletic fossil :lmao:lmao:lmao

Here's a gem of an article about Bruce Bowen owning Ray Allen (then with the Sonics) in the 2005 playoffs:
http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12851

He was such an whiny asshole in that series.

i cringe every time he misses a three ...

I used to hate him, but over time you have to give the man his due. He puts in the work, takes care of his body, and has a skill set that can still be effective at his age and is valuable to teams. I'd take him on the Spurs in a heartbeat.

no. I honestly don't think about him at all.

Well now, that is an absolute fact! lol!!

i just hate that commercial he does with his ugly ass wife for diabeetus or whatever

His wife is fine as hell too

Hate? No.

Does that faggot annoy me? Indubitably.

"I've argued this with a lot of people in my life,'' Allen said. "When people say God blessed me with a beautiful jump shot, it really pisses me off. I tell those people, 'Don't undermine the work I've put in every day.' Not some days. Every day. Ask anyone who has been on a team with me who shoots the most. Go back to Seattle and Milwaukee, and ask them. The answer is me -- not because it's a competition but because that's how I prepare."

That quote alone is reason enough why I respect the hell out of him.

man, back in the early 2000's I wanted the spurs to somehow acquire Ray Allen so bad. to put the best shooter in the game with TD/DRob...

Hater :tu

Why did we let the Heat acquire him and Birdman? I knew those signings were bad news for us.

boo ya! big man trying to act big... get a life chump!

How can you hate ray allen really, what has he done? I mean, hate him for the 3 is just hating because he's a winner, which I don't do. I'm not a celtics fan so I don't give a shit, I don't blame him for leaving a sinking ship at his age to a great opportunity. Guy has an amazing work ethic, never really gotten in trouble for anything, a super competitor and he's always been extremely talented and probably is the best pure shooter in the history of the NBA.

Not sure how you can hate him

lol

I said same thing with every miss.

I can't stand watching him smack his gum. I hate him based on that alone.

No. He is a great competitor. He got game.

I hate that whiny ass bitch since Bruce Bowen guarded him. & he'd bitch every time! Leaving the celtics that got him a ring. & no loyalty going to the enemy the cheat! What a fucking traitor !

Well Bruce Bowen is a dirty player. I don't blame him really. Leonard isn't dirty which I like.
