Ray Allen on “squashing the beef” with Kevin Garnett, love for 2008 Boston Celtics

For nearly a full decade of Boston Celtics history, a rift between key players of the team that won Banner 17 for the franchise feuded over the exit of Hall of Fame shooting guard Ray Allen to the team’s primary rival at the time, LeBron James’ Miami Heat.

But the beef finally ended definitively after months of showing signs of a thawing of relations at the jersey retirement ceremony of fellow 2008 title teammate and Hall of Fame Boston big man Kevin Garnett this past Sunday at TD Garden after the Celtics’ unfortunate 95 – 92 home loss to the Dallas Mavericks.

Speaking to another former teammate and current Celtics broadcaster Brian Scalabrine after the ceremony had ended, the UConn product shared his thoughts on the end of the feud with Scalabrine, and his happiness to be back in the good graces of his former teammate on his big day.

Check out the clip embedded above to hear his comments in full courtesy of NBC Sports Boston.
