Walter Ray Allen

It is often said a picture is worth a thousand words. In the picture above of Walter Ray Allen being introduced to the Miami Heat, any Celtics fan may have strong (maybe hateful) words. I see a team that gained a classy and respectful player. I see a happy Ray Allen that is excited to play for the Heat with his true number, #34. It's just much more natural to see the number under his name on the jersey, as much as I rather see him with a Boston Celtic jersey.

For the angry Celtics fans, can you really blame Allen for leaving after everything has happened in Boston? Isn't respect worth more than money? Ray Allen answered that with a absolute Yes since Boston offered him double what Miami did. The Heat probably showed him they wanted him more just like UConn did (Take that Kentucky!). I have only the greatest respect for the man and I probably would have done the same thing.

P.S. Why is Tsingtao a major sponsor of Heat? Can you imagine the players celebrating a Championship with Tsingtao? I want to see it (It would be hilarious!) but you won't see Walter Ray Allen taking a sip.
