From Seattle, Ray Allen was my fav player in late 90's. I had a Bucks Allen jersey & stickers back then. Ran strait to the team shop when he was traded to the Sonics! Played ping pong with him at a fan appreciation event. Thanks for the memories Ray. We will retire #34 in Seattle soon!
Grew up in Boston. I remember watching him back at UConn and became a fan. When he joined the C's and helped bring another banner home...that was so awesome to see.
CLEVELAND CAVS a season before he went to Boston he was averaging 26 points per game however after he signed with the Celtics he never averaged 20 points again.
Javi Garcia only reason he never averaged 20 a game for Boston was because you had 3 ball dominant players in rondo, PP, and KG, but make no mistake take ray off that team Boston wouldn't have won anything from 2008-2010

In my opinion Ray Allen is the greatest 3pt shooter in NBA history. Curry should pass him on the all-time list if his ankles don't snap first. - All in all, I believe Allen is the most clutch 3pt shooter we have ever seen.
With every team he played with he had a different role, i love that about him. He can fit with any team, give him a role and he'll play it. Don't see much of that now..
4:45 been watching that game then i just jumped the heck out of my seat when he dunked at that aged. Milwaukee Buck Ray Allen just warped out from the past!👊
most people dont remember that he was an elite all around offensive player, it wasnt until he went to the heat when he turned into mainly just a shooter. And his whole career he was a solid defender.
That was one of the most important shots in NBA history. Literally affected the ring count of Allen, LeBron, Wade, Duncan, Leonard, Popovich, and other legends. The Heat Big 3 would've been seen kind of a bust if they only won one championship in their four years together. It also justified Allen leaving his friends on the Celtics.
Young kids would never know just how good Ray Allen was and he wasn't just a 3pt specialist he could do it all. Also Ray Allen don't get the credit he deserves for being one of the most clutch players of all time.
yep Ray Alken should rep the Bucks in hall of fame induction, the battles he had with Allen Iversion , I see eastern conference I see a Milwaukee Buck there. much respect from 76rs nation.
I remember during his Celtics/Heat days, every time Ray Allen takes a three-pointers the announcers would go crazy and the fans or audiences would yell out "For Threeeeee!!!!" daamn, those were the times. Ray Allen is the Three-Pointer himself.
In Curry's rookie year, he shot 43.7% from 3 with 4.8 attempts per game, 74.1% of which were assisted. 74.1% is lower than the % of assisted 3s of ANY Ray Allen's season. Curry has 3 seasons where he attempted more 3s per game than any Ray Allen's season. (while playing ~5 less minutes per game). He has attempted 2500 less 3s, but only made 840 less 3s. He is also assisted on 23% less 3s but is 3.6% more accurate He holds the top 3 record for most 3s in a season, and in the season he made 402 threes, his 3pt% of 45.4% is higher than Ray Allen's CAREER high for a season. In terms of peak performance as a 3pt shooter, it's not exactly debatable anymore.
+Fong You can tell when someone actually thinks or knows about what he/she says instead of repeating stupid uncorroborated narratives. Curry has 2 playoff runs with a higher PPG than any of Ray Allen's playoff run with superior efficiency, 4 playoff runs with a higher PPG than Ray Allen's second best playoff run in PPG, and 6 playoff runs with a higher PPG than Ray Allen's third best playoff run in PPG. He attempted nearly twice as many threes in the playoffs but still shot more accurately, attempted 7 more field goals and still is more efficient, he made the finals twice in a much stronger conference and actually won a championship, as the first option. If Curry's performance is counted as choking, how do you describe Ray Allen's performance when he performed worse by any metric? What do you call shooting 0-13 in a finals game? At least Ray Allen himself isn't as stupid as his delusional fans. www.mercurynews.com/2017/03/16/ray-allen-on-stephen-curry-best-that-ive-ever-seen-shoot/ www.cbssports.com/nba/news/nba-3-point-king-ray-allen-considers-steph-curry-the-best-shooter-hes-ever-seen/ www.foxsports.com/nba/story/golden-state-warriors-stephen-curry-ray-allen-reggie-miller-boston-celtics-ray-allen-041916

sum of those announcers quotes are so iconic, they almost stick as much in my brain as the play itself like 2:22 "that was a cold - blooded - bomb" or 2:58 "Ray Allen for the game - got it at the buzzer AHOHO"
I loved young Ray Allen. He took it to the basket alot more. later in his career he fell in love with the 3 and settled too much but that may be because his ankle wasnt 100%. but his prime is very underrated.

Why don’t I remember Milwaukee Ray Allen? He was a finisher at the rim. Seems like I blacked out till he became the sharpshooter in Seattle, Boston and Miami.
it's like NBA evolved with Allen, from slasher to pure shooter.
Great to extend your career. Players should look at guys like him so they can last in the league for awhile
He was always a pure shooter
Still a slasher though😂
