NBA Hall of Famer Ray Allen was ripped by a federal judge and fined Wednesday after failing to perform his civic responsibility and skipping jury duty.
U.S. District Judge Marcia Cooke ordered the 46-year-old basketball legend to pay $1,000 to charity and gave the two-time world champion a piece of her mind.
“No man or woman is above performing that civic duty,” her order stated.

The 10-time NBA All-Star was selected to serve as a juror in a fatal carjacking trial last week, according to a report.
The trial was pushed back so Allen could attend former Boston Celtics teammate Kevin Garnett’s jersey retirement ceremony, the report noted.
The hall of famer’s absence “was a complete misunderstanding,” said William McCue, Allen’s attorney.

The trial was carried out without Allen and the NBA star said he would make a donation to diabetes research, according to the report.
