The legends were in Cleveland on Sunday night, as the NBA's 75th Anniversary Team was being honored at this year's All-Star Game. Most of the game's great enjoyed being in each other's company for such an occasion, but Garnett's mood took a sharp turn when Allen was introduced.

A clip of Garnett's reaction to Allen's introduction immediately went viral on Twitter.

It sure seems as though Garnett is a long way from ever extending a level of friendship to Allen.

A year after that, Garnett cropped Allen out of a photo shared on Instagram, showing that his feelings hadn't changed. Without saying a word, Garnett showed on Sunday night that he still feels the same.
