Obviously this is all just speculation as to what may be affecting Ray Allen, but I think this story bears some thought as to what the problem could be:
MIDDLETOWN, Conn. -- A psychologist was sentenced to 33 years in prison Friday for conspiring to murder the stepfather of Boston Celtics star Ray Allen.
Ernest Garlington was convicted in November in a murder-for-hire plot against fellow psychologist Derek Hopson. Once married to Garlington's wife, Hopson is now married to Flora Allen-Hopson, mother of the Celtics guard.
Hopson wasn't injured when shots were fired at him in 2003 outside the Middletown clinic where he worked and had been beaten with a golf club less than a year earlier.
Garlington was sentenced in Middlesex Superior Court.
Ray Allen was in Atlanta for Game 6 of the first-round playoff series between the Celtics and the Atlanta Hawks.
AP NEWS
Again, pure speculation, but I don't think anyone can fathom what he is going through with this, unless you've been in that position before. This news came out on May 2, so it's hardly breaking news, but it's also something that doesn't seem to get talked about (and maybe that's a good thing). Also, Greg Anthony was on Jim Rome's radio program today, and mentioned that Allen is going through some serious family issues, but did not get into specifics. There was also a story run on E-60 (ESPN's magazine series) about this.
Regardless, this is no one's business but Ray Allen's and his families', but it does offer a potential reason for Ray not being Ray.
