Ha, I knew it! I'm with you guys 100% - DO NOT RETIRE HIS NUMBER! EVER! Remember when he left, and he said in an interview that, "he'd always be a Celtics?" I remember thinking, "and we, the fans, will be the judge of that!" Once he saved Lebrick's legacy, there was absolutely no way that he could rehabilitate his image among Celtics fans. I blamed Ainge and Doc more than Ray, but I still hated him for leaving. He should have looked at it this way - if you're not going to stay for Danny or Doc, do it for the fans (many of whom supported you since the UCONN days), but more importantly, do it for your teammates, especially numbers the other 2 members of the Big Three. Didn't KG and Pierce step in to prevent a trade or 2 involving him in the past? That's loyalty to each other, but I guess he doesn't see it that way, and I find that to be rather pathetic. He better not go into the HOF as a Celtic. He's got to be either a Buck or a Supersonic.
On another front, if Ray always loved Lebron this much, why didn't he sign with Cavs in 2005, I believe? They went after him and Michael Redd, but both of them wanted to stay with their respective teams, so Cleveland ended up with Larry Hughes bahaha. Ray would have been a perfect compliment to Lebron, but I digress. Honestly, I was hoping that he'd retire after the beat down, even though no one wants to go out that way. It'd be a fitting ending for him from our perspective at least, haha
