      What you mean proof ? Don't you have internet to search the news online? Or don't you watch news ? Just play basketball in your PlayStation ? I like Ray Allen and his game, his movie and the Run with the Celtics. That's why I CAME here to watch his hall of fame induction. But let's not act like he's an angel. Or like he's perfect and don't make mistakes. THAT shit with the hooker happened weeks later when people were saying he was thinking about making a comeback remember ? That incident was very embarrassing to him because he was the one who met her by searching women online with the intention to hook up . But whatever. He paid the consequence and moved on.

      tough to say, very subjective. But I think there's something less "difficult" or clutch when you're in that situation and you have no other choice than to shoot. You don't have time to think or for pressure to build, you only have one option and it's to shoot. I think Lebron 3 right before could arguably be more clutch, and Jordan's in '98 because of the buildup and the time for defense to set, pressure to build, etc.

    what a great speech, I've seen a lot of speeches and a lot of players speak English as if it's their 2nd language literally struggling to find words and I understand the pressure of the moment but god Ray speaks his mind out without stopping once. Great ball player, great shooter and surely a better person. Thank you Ray

Wonder if Steph will have Ray and Klay up there when it's his time because that was a passing of the torch in a sense, from the greatest shooter of one era to the next era....Class of 2018 congrats to all of you!
