Ray Allen Reflects On Bruins

"I’m extremely proud of (the Bruins), for what they’ve done for the city of Boston," he said. "When you see it from the other side you realize how much bigger it is than yourself. You see how many people are rooting for you, and sometimes when we’re on our own little path, or our own little journey, you forget the intensity of the moment. It’s always a lesson that there are people rooting for you, and no matter how egotistical we may be as athletes, or as insular as we can be, these moments playing in Boston are bigger than us as individuals."

Always great stuff from the thoughtful and intelligent Ray Allen.
