Ray Allen Changed The Game Level Back In The Days

Ray Allen had some great battles with Allen Iverson in the Big East when he played for Connecticut and Iverson played for Georgetown. When he went to the Bucks they were chancy. Having Sam Cassell, Ray Allen, Glenn Robinson and Tim Thomas most would think they would've gone to the NBA Finals at least, but nope a guy named Allen Iverson was in the way.

Playing with the Sonics was when Ray Allen took it to another league level. Kobe Bryant now was the best shooting guard in the game, but Ray Allen was right there. Allen and Rashard Lewis used to fill it up on the scoring basket.

When Ray Allen got exchanged to the Celtics, his athletic ability started to wane, but he still got his shooting skills. Rondo and Allen use to be deadly combo.

"It's going to be a shot that I'm going to remember for a long time," Allen said that night. "There's a lot of shots that I've made in my career, but this will go high up in the ranks."
