Ray Allen Quotes on Idea (2 Quotes)

The idea is to go out to have fun. I think everybody is trying to feel each other out at the beginning, and the defense isn't ever present at the start. By the fourth quarter, the game grows a personality and everybody starts to play defense. Things really start to get competitive.

But now there seems to be a feeling among many players that maybe it's not such a bad idea. For one, the old guard is losing jobs to the teen brigade. For another, the youngsters in too many cases just aren't ready to play. I don't look at an age limit as a bad thing, ... I think we're helping out younger guys, not hurting them.
