When Kevin Garnett got his number retired<\/a> by the Celtics earlier this month at TD Garden, Ray Allen was by his side. Alongside teammate Paul Pierce, the former Big-3 ended a long running beef to celebrate KG on his big night. In addition to some much needed catharsis, the reunion may have cleared the path for Allen to one day see his own number raised to the rafters.<\/span><\/p>\n

The former Celtics sharpshooter reflected on that night and much more Wednesday in an interview with Celtics Hall of Famer Cedric Maxwell on <\/span>The Cedric Maxwell Podcast<\/span><\/a>. Allen told Max that getting his number raised to the TD Garden rafters would mean everything.<\/span><\/p>\n
