Going to miss my man PP34. Tonight is going to be his last regular season game forever.

You have to think if those guys liked each other he would have been there. Them being part of the Big Three and reflecting on the championship year his absence is notable.

Paul did mention the Big Three coming to together, so he at least acknowledged that.

No way that they can forget what Ray Allen brought to that team and the fact that THEY (Ray-KG-Paul) did it TOGETHER in that FIRST year.

What they did won't get talked about enough in basketball annals and that's unfortunate. MIA tried it with arguably more talent (in the best player in the game at the time) and STILL couldn't do it their first year.

Even more telling here were Doc's words - as mentioned by KG and Paul in the video. Doc must've sensed the reality of their ages and that time was of the essence. Surely enough - after that fateful visit to Utah in 08-09 our window started closing fast.

But boy I'll NEVER forget those guys. I was allowed to talk smack again after TWENTY YEARS and it was AWESOME.

I'll never forget the Piston fan that I went back-and-forth with in the playoffs 2008. He said BOS had no shot. I saw that dude every day until BOS dumped DET and then couldn't find him at all - on a Navy ship no less. He must've hid in the bilges.

DEEEEEEETRoit BASKETBALL 

But anyways Danny brought together a special team and I'll NEVER forget them.

Ray Allen is an android. That must be it.

This is where the "try not to cry" meme/gif would apply for me...

PP34 and KG don't like Ray much at the moment, but I think a big part of the video was them coming up through AAU together.

I like that they reflect on the team being full of alpha dogs. You rarely see team chemistry work like that.

Outstanding point, Roy.

He was probably referring to himself, KG, and Rondo lol
