Ray Allen spoke out against rumors and criticism regarding his absence from Paul Pierce’s jersey retirement on Sunday, writing a lengthy Instagram post praising Pierce and their time together as Celtics.

“Despite what you may have heard or read or what is rumored — there is nothing but love. Paul and I are more interested in building bridges than putting up walls,” wrote Allen. “To Paul, number 34, Congratulations on having your number raised up to the rafters. I salute you for your commitment to the city of Boston and to us the 2008 NBA Champions #thetruth.”
