Since the 2007 season when Ray Allen was traded to the Boston Celtics he has become known primarily as a 3pt shooter. Before Ray Ray made his way to Beantown he was a franchise player for two organizations (Milwaukee Bucks & Seattle Supersonics) who consistently made the playoffs and even the conference finals. Since his days at UConn Ray’s game has been silky smooth and can easily cover up the amount of work that he has put in throughout his career. Things like getting on the court for a full workout 3 hours before game time and staying in shape enough to start on championship contending team at the age of 35. All of his hard work has paid off, first and foremost winning a Championship in 2008 and now becoming the all-time leading 3pt FG leader in NBA history! In my days as a basketball player, I was never a shooter but I always heard the phrase “shooters keep shooting”. During a game in the 2010 NBA Finals, Ray hit 7 3pt FGs in the 1st half but did not hit one 3pt FG in the second half. Sometimes shooters get cold but Ray lives by that phrase, it has made him the all-time 3pt FG leader in NBA history and hopefully it will help bring the Boston Celtics the 2011 NBA Championship!
