Kevin Garnett...pot meet kettle

Dear Kevin,

We (meaning NBA fans) all remember when Ray Allen came back for his first game in Boston in a Miami Heat uniform. He approached you to say hello and you ignored him, kind of the way boys ignore girls on the playground that they have a crush on.

Now that you've left the Celtics, can Boston fans do that to you? Pretend you don't exist and hopefully you'll walk away and we can all act like you were never there in the first place?

Let's be real you're 37 and averaging 14 points and 7 rebounds a game. You're going to a team with a rookie coach, an average point guard in Deron Williams and a bunch of C list players that have never made it out of the 2nd round of the playoffs.

I get it. You want another ring. You want to continue to make more money because lets face it, you have bills and kids to pay for. But this is not the way to do it. Did you not watch the Knicks or the Lakers this year? Old men chasing rings doesn't work anymore. Maybe it's because the younger generation is that good, or maybe there are still so many old men still hanging on to the "good ole days."

Either way, if your team makes it out of the first round of the playoffs no one will be surprised. If you make it out the first round without the help of the officials or Adam Silver everyone will be surprised.

Signed,

NBA Fans

  1. Garnett is a hypocrite. I wonder if the NBA has considered how hard it is to be a fan now since players are chasing rings you can't support any team because they change every year. I miss the days when you knew who your stars were on your favorite team and you knew that they were going to be there. Kevin Garnett owes Ray Allen an apology.
