After $1 Billion worth LeBron James' Push for a Franchise in Las Vegas, Ray Allen Demands NBA to Bring a team to Seattle

Ray Allen is often associated with being one of the greatest 3-point marksmen in the history of the NBA. On the court, his legacy is quite intact given his 2 championships, countless All-Star and All-NBA selections, and of course, one of the most iconic shots in NBA Playoff history. 

The shot came against the San Antonio Spurs in the 2013 NBA Finals in Game 6, tying the game and sending it to overtime. This resulted in LeBron James acquiring his 2nd championship and many credit this shot as the one that saved LeBron’s legacy. 

While he’s accomplished quite a bit on NBA hardwood, he’s remained relatively quiet post-retirement. The sharpshooting wing doesn’t have his name in the news all too much and when he does, it’s usually related to old Celtics drama from the early 2010s. It was around this time however, that he was in the news cycle for quite the awkward reason.

Ray Allen was caught s*xting a man while married 

Ray Allen has been happily married to actress/singer Shannon Walker Williams since 2008, making it 14 years since they tied the knot. Their romance goes back even further as they began dating in 2004, 8 years into Ray’s career in the NBA. 

A couple years after he had tied the knot with Shannon, Ray was exposed on Twitter as having had a s*xting relationship with another woman online. These texts were leaked and what makes the situation even more unbelievable is the fact that Ray himself leaked one of his texts. 

he took to Twitter to write a dirty text and published the tweet believing he was privately DMing his ‘mistress’ little did he know that the tweet was read by millions across the world.

What took place after this text was leaked from Ray Allen? 

Two things happened: Allen, as expected, denied this ever having been him tweeting it out. He claimed he was hacked despite getting back into his account a mere 14 minutes after having sent out the tweet. 

Second, it was revealed that the woman he was texting was actually a man catfishing the NBA Hall-of-Famer, a man by the name of Bryant Coleman. Despite all of this, Ray is still married to Shannon to this day.
