That’d be Ray Allen, now of the world champion Boston Celtics, who was beloved in his short Seattle tenure. Good a guy as Ray is, his quote in this RealGM story proves that he’s not as in touch with ordinary Americans as our new President claims to be: “I think if you go back when Bush was re-elected it didn’t affect a lot of us the same. Guys have more money and we have more to lose and there’s a lot more responsibly in guy’s lives. So now, this election and definitely the state of the economy has affected a lot of people in this locker room more so than in the past. We have to be responsible.”We can only imagine how difficult it must be to tighten your belt on $12 million per year. Now shut up and enjoy the festivities, Mr. Allen.
