He may have played his final NBA seasons with the Miami Heat, but Ray Allen still thinks green.

In a recent interview on the Rich Eisen Show, the former Celtics star said that his current pick for NBA MVP is Isaiah Thomas.

Calling Boston’s All-Star point guard “the spark” and “the engine that makes their team go,” Allen praised Thomas for the tremendous amount he has done for the Celtics. The 41-one-year-old, who holds the NBA record for career 3-pointers, went on to predict that Boston is “definitely gonna have a trip to the Eastern Conference Finals, for sure.”
