Paul Pierce on why it hurt when Ray Allen left to the Heat🎙️ #nba #celtics #heat #draymondgreen

Y'all win the Finals, hurt the next season, go back to the Finals. Ray then joins the Miami Heat. That hurt. I wanna hear your side of that story. When it hit that he was, we just lost to Miami, by the way. You know, I didn't know he had issues with the contract or starting. But the thing is, I wanted you to holler. Like, if you gonna leave us, like, gimme a call. Like, look, P, it ain't working out. You know, they not gonna gimme the contract I want. They not giving me the role I want. So I'm gonna go this route. Okay, man, I respect that. You make a business decision for you and your family. Cool. But when you never get that call and you leave and go to the team who we pretty much, this is our rival. I just didn't feel like there was a respect thing there. And I don't run into Ray after that until retirement. So I don't talk to him and he don't talk to me. I was playing this exhibition game in China and I didn't even know Ray was gonna be there. So next thing you know, he's like, "Oh, by the way, Ray is here." And I'm like, "All right, you know, what?" Let me go holler at him. After that, I was like, it's all good. We spoke on it, we shook, and it's been love, and it's been love since then.
