This is quite funny. Now the Celtics have Ray Allen, periennal all-star coming off ankle surgery and getting into the old part of a guard's career. At least he can still shoot. And Allen Ray, athletic guard of limited use last year. Wait, looking again. Yes. They have two players who have the same name reversed. High comedy. What would we call them as coaches? Hey Allen!, I mean, Hey Ray!. I mean. Damnit, new guy get over here. Damnit. Just plain stupid.

On a higher note, I did always like Ray Allen as a player (perhaps my second fav after KG), he's just getting old. I like the pure shooters. As an added bonus, he was in a Spike Lee joint about a decade ago which was perhaps not the worst Spike Lee joint. Good times all around. More comedy actually. His character was Jesus Shuttleworth, going to the place that refers to Larry Bird as the "Basketball Jesus". I'd have to say I'd be very confused if I was in Boston right now.

(boston has since waived Allen Ray, that's no fun. I had also forgotten about the porn stars in He Got Game, a scene which would be wildly entertaining if replayed on the jumbo-tron during timeouts)
