Former Boston Celtics teammates Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett made headlines on Sunday for all the wrong reasons. While the talk should have been about them making the NBA 75th Anniversary Team, it focused on their reported beef instead after Allen seemingly snubbed Garnett when greeting LeBron James.
The two have a pretty well-documented beef, rooted on Allen's departure from the Celtics to join LeBron and the Miami Heat in search for another championship. With that said, people were quick to point out Garnett's reaction and Allen's gesture towards LeBron.

However, trolls might have blown the interaction out of proportion. In his latest Instagram post, Paul Pierce uploaded several videos and photos from the event, including a picture of him alongside Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett.




The two didn't seem awkward at all and were, in fact, beside each other during the photo op. If they were really still on a beef, they wouldn't have taken that photo beside each other, right?

Of course it might also just be Allen and KG acting civil. Some might point out that the fact Garnett didn't even clap during Allen's presentation in the NBA 75 ceremony is indicative of his true feelings.
Regardless, it is still nice to see the trio get back together with all smiles in their faces. That might just be what Celtics fans want to see.
