Ray Allen says Facebook picture of him against Celtics is the work of hackers
Allen made waves when he responded to ex-teammates' criticism of him with a picture on Facebook
Ray Allen has been happily living out his post-NBA days for a few years now, but his former Celtics teammates pulled him back in Monday night. On Kevin Garnett's TNT postgame show, "Area 21", Allen's former teammates including Glen Davis, Paul Pierce and Rajon Rondo criticized him for the way he chose to leave for Miami.
At first Allen remained quiet, but his response came in what appeared to be a Facebook picture of Allen in a Heat uniform driving around Rondo. This, of course, set the internet ablaze as fans picked sides on who they believed to be more right in a debate that many thought ended years ago. Unfortunately, it looks like Allen's response might have not actually been Allen's response, after all.
Rachel Nichols of "The Jump" tweeted Tuesday that Allen's publicist claims he was "hacked" and his official Facebook page has been unverified in response to the hack.
Ray Allen's publicist now tells me Ray's verified Facebook page was hacked, that he didn't post Celtics-clapback pic. FB unverified the page https://t.co/ELMW5fx4u0

Whether Allen was hacked doesn't really matter. The picture was up for hours and there's no way Allen didn't notice it until late Tuesday afternoon. The beef between Allen and his former teammates lives on and sadly does not look like it's going to end anytime soon.
However, there's a much bigger issue that has yet to be addressed. It's crazy how athletes keep having their social media accounts hacked whenever they do something controversial like this. Whoever this hacking group is that is solely targeted at athletes must be stopped! Unless, by some crazy turn of events, nobody is actually being hacked and that's just a simple clean up for a regrettable social media post.
