Ray doesn’t have any of his Jersey numbers retired. Not a single team retired it. A shame.

Miami retired Jordan’s number but didn’t even retire Ray’s lmao

ZincHead | Raptors

Ray Allen played for the Heat for two seasons averaging 10ppg off the bench. No disrespect, I know the shot is significant, I just don’t personally think it qualifies for getting your number retired.

Yeah fair, but also MJ literally did not play there lmao. Ray deserves to have his jersey retired by some team or another, though Miami is not his strongest case.

And that move is also pretty clowned on, just because they made one bad decision to retire a number doesn’t mean they should keep making it.

I mean, Miami likely has 1 fewer championship without Ray. Not saying he deserves it necessarily, but it wouldn’t be in the same universe of dumb decisions as retiring MJs number.

Some people really get caught up in the moment on jersey retirements. If they retired the jersey for a guy like Ray they are going to run out of numbers in a few years lmao

“Significant” is an understatement squared. Of all my years watching the NBA, I can’t think of a moment that floored me more. I remember where I saw it like it was ⁹⁄₁₁ or the assassination of JFK.

Bucks, there’s no chance. Didn’t had much team success and Giannis is the franchise GOAT.

In his jersey retirement ceremony, KG asked Celtics to retire Ray’s number so they still might.

Still cracks me up how the Celtics dangled him every year in trade talks and were appalled when he went to the Heat right after

The Celtics are one of the top franchises in the NBA and the Jets are one of the worst franchises in all of sports. Their fans are not going to have the same standards.

Did he do exactly what Ray Allen did? Idk about football

bradley322 | Knicks

He went to the Pats & won a ring. Very similar except, obviously, the Jets never got one

BobbyAngelface | Knicks

The big difference of course is that the Jets traded Revis away and he later signed with the Pats. As opposed to Allen who left the Celtics to sign with the Heat.

Why did he leave the jets tho? Allen was bad cuz of how he left.

And were the pats and jets rivals?

AirJordan6124 | Celtics

Tbh if Ray stayed in Boston until he retired, Celtics would have retired his number or if they won again in 2010.

I don’t think Ray is getting his jersey retired in Boston but won’t be surprised if they do it in the coming years since Ray has mended fences with the organization

Overall_Laugh_3421 | Heat

The thing with the Celtics too is if I wonder they’re a lot more selective of what jersey to retire since they have a shit ton of jersey numbers gone already, lol.

It’s unlikely they retire #20 too, Gordon Haywards played in that number already at his time there

How many times was he in the playoffs before he got to Boston? Like twice?

If Giannis didn’t take his number, it would have been but you kind of can’t now.

He played with the Heat for 2 seasons. Not nearly enough to warrant retirement.

Celtics, eh maybe. But even then he was clearly the least important of the big 3

Giannis stealing Ray’s number twice is honestly more recognition than Ray gets from most franchises.

Ray had some of his best years in Seattle but it Always shocks me he played more seasons in Boston. I feel like he’s a Sonics legend considering they left right after he did.

Only half a season really. He was traded mid-season to Seattle, so 4.5 vs 5. In fact, in official record books it’s just 5 seasons as a Sonic.
