Ray
Allen of the Boston Celtics has died at the age of 37, suffering what NBA
Commissioner David Stern called “the most humiliating death ever.”
Allen
was crossing a nearly empty street in downtown South Beach when two Mack trucks
sandwiched the superstar shooting guard and squished him like a pancake.
“It was
seriously the most strange and awesome death I’ve ever seen,” Miami Heat guard
Dwayne Wade said. “but oh well. Shit happens.”
Allen
was crossing the street to meet Wade, who was planning to attend a local gay
bar with the squished shooter. The truck collision was just the beginning of
Allen’s humiliating death.
“After
them trucks hit that boy I knew he was mincemeat,” South Beach resident Lester
Jenkins said. “But when the buzzards started picking his limbs apart I just
felt bad for him.”
Allen’s
remains were recovered by the south beach police force, who shoveled him into
the nearest dumpster. Neither truck driver in the collision walked away with
the slightest injury.
Allen
will forever be remembered as the key player in bringing Boston’s “Big Three”
together to win the NBA Championship in 2008. Allen carries the title along
with the NBA record for most career 3-pointers, previously held by former Indiana
Pacers guard Reggie Miller.
“At
least he died as a hero with a respectable legacy,” former Celtics teammate
Kevin Garnett said. “Can you imagine if he joined the Miami Heat or something?
That would have been the worst move of his entire career. But still, what a
bullshit way to go.”
No
charges have been filed against the drivers who turned Allen into a shish-kabob
as chief of police Johnny Carson has decided to simply “forget the incident and
just kind of pretend it never happened.”
