The best beef is petty beef. And in the NBA, there's plenty to go around.

Case in point: The long-standing feud between former Boston Celtics teammates Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen. Ever since Allen left Beantown to join LeBron James in South Beach, KG has given his ex-buddy the silent treatment. Zero communication.

On Sunday, during the NBA Top 75 ceremony, the cold war was on full display. Allen ignored Garnett when he stepped on the stage and instead dapped up LeBron. KG stood there pretending Allen wasn't a few inches away from him. It's worth noting that fellow Celtics legend Paul Pierce clapped for Allen:

Of course, NBA fans on Twitter gobbled up the moment with hilarious posts that should at least earn Pulitzer Prize nominations:

Some NBA fans, however, also hope that the beef between Garnett and Allen gets finally squashed soon. Pierce and Rajon Rondo have already moved on, and Allen clearly has no issues with the Celtics:

Garnett has always been a passionate dude — sometimes to a fault. It has been years now since Allen joined the Miami Heat. He has already retired from the NBA. Perhaps it's time for KG to set aside his pride. After all, they spent special years together with the Celtics.

As for you, NBA Twitter, don't ever change.
