Joins us on the show the book is called from the outside mr. Allan thank you for joining us this morning. Well thank you got bad meal on the door it's gone pretty well today. And Ray Allen spent. I think I'm busier now than ever have. Are you are you busy heading up the the what's the golf club like down there. I tell you what does that this golf I'd love to go all the northeast. Allred where you play there. I'll everywhere you know a lot of great friends the ball there and it you know always seduce me in the summer.

All the book is called up from the outside came out they come out yesterday. Yeah it came out yesterday so it's available right now. And I address some things in here that I'm sure you know as you know Boston fans they they like to talk about very positive fan base always encouraging. I'm think just a little sarcastic there. There are some that you you address some what you call misconceptions about your departure. From the Celtics Miami LB actually brought 1 up this morning that all he just went for the paycheck. But that wasn't exactly you saying that wasn't exactly true. Somebody in news studios that I want the paycheck. I guess I said I survey that. The way people or people seem to be upset. That you laugh and all I said was with the guys what we're going to play basketball. Make some money and take care of his family for the rest of their you know in his life and that. You have blow. On one thing that I had that I have to continue to addresses. What I did leave. It was at the moment parred the tough decisions and had to make and it happened so. You know to my first you have to make decisions for the always lets it does start to Atlanta that the spot in the in the more you don't make a decision in your spot that you once had has gone. And at the time. No my option as lower. Resigning in Boston clippers. Miami Memphis and Minnesota. And so. We word we have to go around and do not pull out of Miami and visit those guys and there's can I go to Miami and it's a couple of secrets and then. I don't go to public that the from noon from there and the clippers assume there thought that I use of leverage now what was serious. So what they do they ended up signing Jamal Crawford. So. You know the doubles start all and and on negotiate with wood wood off that I'm on Mohamed you guys know about it. We have been active or contract you know athlete who year available we'll we'll wait we'll wait and utilities and everybody just the contract amount that last one. And then followed in this corner trying to make a decision and ask questions about all these things whether the change in you know how we implement approve disapprove added. It almost like everything but though you can answer this you can't do that you can go you know by people. There's nothing about what you're telling me this enticing me to you know combat all of them very disappointing so there's a point where it had decided. We're actually. You know sever and our relationship because. You know at the freeagent they're so mean nothing that is gonna help me sales doubt resent it found that looked order in the Marquardt is involved in my house hoping. That was the case between myself or AG. Or us they have three years but outside the entire. Together so. There was that point where. It was over. You know and there was some of the most gut wrenching thing that I've had a bill deal with is that we had decided -- they amount or backed off and so that's how we sit. In this position where they'll be able to Wear our own political now and we're sitting there you know Miami Memphis and Minnesota. You guys tell me. Down knotted Miami yeah moved out now so so great to talk a little bit about. How is there's still animosity or what it did was there ever any animosity is there any animosity. KG Paul. And you Rhonda when yourself like today. Well or for the life of me. You got on the the first game you know. I understand your plane and you don't want episode in the ground in the Barbara descent into. KG the way he would not respond. You were known now for 67 years I haven't said a word about any level because the one thing about know understand and appreciate is. Wolf we did in 2008 is special about sports and it's not just in BAA by sports via quote from last. Who works the first. It was incredible you know with a low percentage hit the note in the past we did like being part of Celtic nation which you know is probably be deaf nation to be a part of you know. In this is mis speak from experience like problem although the world is itself it has come from everywhere. That to me. You don't forget you know you always be a part of it so. Idol I've never said anything. Against what we did what we not always appreciated it's always a fair marine will be at all. Michael links. I've always been a part of it is an unfortunate that you know that same. Sentiment hasn't been expressed he knows there's been there's been a lot of visceral. It forced me from so many. Of people from different angles but wanna remind people that said that about saint so about city boss. Right right well you mentioned KG. And in the book you say you still say if if there's only one player that you would want to play well with. It's still Kevin Garnett that's despite whatever happened after you left and and what do you guys butted heads while you were width. Playing together on the Celtics but you still say he's the guy to play with a right. And did just so you got arrested and we've we've ruled province. We didn't you know we we do enjoy what we. You know we. Discuss the situation. That app admittedly the first game because uh oh lord we got it figured out like opening bit but it wasn't anything bad. You know it was it was just us trying to figure out who we were going to be an album all together because we're used to being. Note the alpha dog alone in the locker room where would dictate everybody housing chemicals we give them the sense that some weird you know. You know he and I got along famously you know on the court because we knew every game lace them up in this. Do our dead this play our hardest so the Middle East that all the court is the same it was a mutual respect. Unanimous. You know you could you in the ass you know a lot of people debate that I lived in Wellesley. And we actually. Halloween party where we have to hold neighborhood you know can't be and you are like that they are Spielberg. I was over. We had may route it was stress that it was Shrek Dora the extremist parties that we really got along well sort of got along well so. There was never any animosity you know for any of.
