NBA legend Kevin Garnett had his jersey retired by the Boston Celtics on Sunday. The No. 5 jersey hit the rafters of the TD Garden, joining the likes of Bill Russell, Larry Bird, and Paul Pierce.

At the ceremony, KG highlighted Ray Allen for being in attendance, publicly ending the feud. “It’s good to see Ray Allen here,” Garnett said. “Real s—. It’s good to see you, man. You next, dog.”

The duo engaged in an embrace, followed by Paul Pierce, completing their Boston Big 3.

“Yeah, that’s a big one,” said Doc Rivers, who coached the trio. “Because that’s been a problem, obviously, and the fact that it looks like the fence is finally coming down is really cool.

“Very, very happy for Kevin, and really cool that Ray came today.”

Jaylen Brown will not be an NBA All-Star for the second season in a row. officially missed out on his second straight All-Star nod Monday when NBA commissioner Adam Silver selected Cleveland Cavaliers big man Jarrett Allen as the injury replacement for Philadelphia 76ers star James Harden, who is sidelined with a sore hamstring.

 Brown is averaging 23.7 points, 6.5 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game this season for a streaking Celtics team that is currently 6th in the competitive Eastern Conference. After the Celtics lost to the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night, Brown talked about his latest All-STAR snub.

“I’m not really disappointed. Like I said before, I’m not losing sleep,” Brown told reporters, as seen in the video above. “I think that my ability on both sides of the ball speaks for itself. I’m not going to knock any of those other guys. Congratulations to them. But, I think it’s situational, to be honest. I think maybe some other things go into it that maybe we don’t know about right now.

Afterwards, Brown took to social media and posted an image of Kanye West holding a notepad saying how much he should have been an All-Star.

All Brown can do is continue to ball and let his game speak for itself.
