Ray Allen is one of the greatest shooters in NBA history. He held the all-time three-point record (2,973) for 11 years before Stephen Curry surpassed him. Allen won two NBA championships — with the Boston Celtics in 2008 and the Miami Heat in 2013 — and is immortalized for his clutch corner three-pointer in Game 6 of the 2013 Finals that saved Miami's season. A 10-time All-Star, Allen was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2018.
Ray Allen gave Milwaukee seven seasons of elite shooting, five All-Star appearances, and the 2001 ECF run — and Giannis wears his retired #34 today. Why both honors make sense.
