Hours after 18-year NBA professional Ray Allen announced his retirement, his former coach, Erik Spoelstra, was already nostalgic for a player he called truly one of a kind.In an email response to TechCrunch, Haddad said the issue started around 7:30 PM PT today. The Miami Heat coach didn't have to be prompted to tell one Allen story after another. SPOELSTRA'S ADMIRATION BEGAN before he ever met the player, with extra practice. In the late 2000s, when the Heat were due to play Allen's Celtics, Spoelstra kicked off every practice preparing the Heat for Allen's 'Oh s-' moments. Those ones in which Allen would somehow, even though everyone was waiting for it, catch the defense blinking for a half a second and move into a different spot as if he was teleporting. 'Before doing anything else, we would just spend 20 minutes trying to prevent Ray from doing the unexpected - the O h s-,' Spoelstra says now. 'You know, the ' Oh s-, how'd he get there?' or ' Oh s-, there he is!' moments. 'More often than not, the Oh S-! came with an Ah, s- when he hit the shot.'ĭuring Tuesday's news conference in Miami, Spoelstra found out that Allen had officially retired. Even though Allen hadn't played in two years, Spoelstra still was taken aback. Deep down, Spoelstra felt that Allen's other-worldly work ethic and conditioning could keep the 41-year-old playing in today's NBA. SPOELSTRA REMEMBERS THE first time he met Allen.

After the hourlong class, Spoelstra walked out the door and noticed a familiar face walking in for the next class at 7:30 p.m.

Maybe it was a Ray Allen look-alike? Spoelstra dialed a Heat staffer, who confirmed that the Celtics had gone through a full practice earlier in the day and flew from Logan Airport down to Miami International Airport that evening. Spoelstra picked up his cell again, this time to dial the Four Seasons. Was that really Allen? Did he come in just to loosen up his joints after a long flight? A stretch to warm up the muscles? Maybe just a few minutes, right? Spoelstra needed to talk to the instructor. The instructor, a devoted Heat fan, confirmed it was Allen. Raymond Allen, who lived on the Isle of Wight, created the hapless character of Frank. 'But don't worry about him, Coach,' the Miami instructor told Spoelstra. The writer behind the hit 1970s BBC sitcom Some Mothers Do Ave Em has died aged 82, his family has said. But believe me, he'll have no legs tomorrow.'Īllen torched the Heat for 25 points the next night. THE CELTICS WON Game 3 by two points and dispatched the Heat in five games, prompting the Heat to blow it all up and lay down a new foundation. Three months later, LeBron James and Chris Bosh joined Dwyane Wade with the Heat. The summer after the trio took down Boston and OKC en route to the 2012 title, Spoelstra and Riley met with Allen and later signed him. The Heat coach saw up close and personal what made the shooting guard different. Spoelstra, of course, had heard stories about Allen. People called him 'Everyday Ray' for a reason. He was obsessive and then some about his basketball routines. He'd come to the gym early and often, repeating the same motions, the same routes over and over.īut even still, Spoelstra couldn't believe what he saw during that first workout in September 2012, the week before Labor Day.
