ALL ABOUT THEM HEAT!



Water Ray Allen Jr. was born July 20, 1975 at Castle Air Force Base. He is the son of Flora and Walter Allen Sr. Ray Allen is the third child out of five in his family. Ray Allen is an American professional basketball player who currently is now playing for the Miami Heat. He has played for many different basketball team in his career, which include Milwaukee Bucks, Seattle Supersonics, and Boston Celtics. In college, he played for the University of Connecticut Huskies. Walter is one of the accurate 3 point and free throw shooter in the whole NBA. 

In the first round pick of the 1996 draft class, Ray Allen was selected fifth into the NBA. Right after getting drafted to the Minnesota Timberwolves Ray Allen and Andrew Lang were put on Milwaukee Bucks for another guy that Minnesota really wanted. He stayed with the Bucks intel the 2002-2003 season after the Bucks he went to the Seattle Super Sonics. Ray Allen was a member of the NBA All-Rookie 2nd Team and during the All-Star weekend, Ray Allen took the 3 point championship. Later on in the season Ray had to have surgery on both of his ankles. 

I think that Ray Allen is the best three point shooter so far. The only one that comes close to be so good is Stephan Curry. Curry had already broke other guys record in three pointers. What I think is going to happen is that once Ray Allen retires, Stephan Curry will catch Ray's most three pointers and break his record. I like watching both Ray Allen and Stephan Curry because they are both very good at shooting. When I grew up, I want to be as good or even better than those's two. 

The 2004-2005 season Allen signed a 5 year extension for $80 million with the Seattle Super Sonics. In April 2006, Ray Allen moved into second place for most three in the NBA trailing Reggie Miller who was in first for most three's. In April 19, 2006, Ray Allen broke Dennis Scott's ten year old NBA record for most three's made in a season against the Denver Nuggets. Ray Allen scored a career high of 54 points in a single game against the Utah Jazz, which was the second most in Sonics history. 

After playing for the Seattle Super Sonics, Allen got drafted to the Boston Celtics. Allen and Glen Davis were the 35th pick in the 2007 draft. I think that Boston got lucky that they got Ray Allen, but I don't know why he was the 35th pick. Ray Allen was a star on the Boston Celtics playing with Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce. I think that Ray had his high peak with the Boston Celtics or maybe his passed teams. Watching Ray play with the Miami Heat was not as exciting as watching him play with the Boston Celtics.

  1. I agree, AS FOR RIGHT NOW, Ray Allen is the best three point shooter. I repeat my words AS FOR RIGHT NOW. Stephen Curry is an unbelievable shooter and is the best shooter in the NBA today. The difference between both though is jump shooting. Curry can jump shoot, but not like Ray could. I love the way Curry shoots, but Allen has the perfect form. Allen jumps pretty high for a shot. And Allen could probably do it consistantly when he was younger maybe today knowing how he keeps his health and body. When time comes Stephen Curry will break Allens' three point record and Allen will be there at the game and it will be a repeat of what Allen did when Reggie Miller was at the game when Allen broke his record. Curry is something though, at young age and he breaking records already. NBA needs to watch for Curry and I honestly do think nobody will break Curry's record for a long long long time once he breaks Ray Allens' record.
