Dwyane Wade and his “brother” Ray Allen are back 

Ray Allen has played for 4 big franchises in his career. That too with Hall of Famers and legends. Kevin Garnett, Shaquille O’Neal, Paul Pierce from the Boston Celtics, Glenn Robinson from the Milwaukee Bucks, and Wade and James from the Heat are a few legendary players that Allen played with. 

Well, it would be really hard to choose a top 5 from this, but the 10-time All-Star did not hesitate. Allen shared, “I am taking Glenn Robinson, Terrell Brandon, I have played with Shaq, and it is easy to put Shaq, and I’m gonna say KG”. Who is the fifth one? Obviously, the 48-year-old did not want to leave himself out.
