Ray Allen shunned by Boston Celtics, still feels close to the Miami Heat

Most fans of the game may best associate Ray Allen with his accomplishments via the Boston Celtics. But the 41-year-old still holds the Miami Heat closest to his heart.

Having turned down a two-year, $12 million deal to return to Boston in 2012, the NBA superstar found himself a new home in Miami on a three-year, mid-level exception contract. And although he may have only spent two seasons with the Heat, his run was unforgettable.

Especially a certain three-point playoff shot that ultimately forced a Game 7 against the San Antonio Spurs, earning Miami their second title in a row.
