fuck Ray Allen. he’s a role player. yea, he probably is a better 3 point shooter. he definitely is. Reggie Miller is the better scorer. Allen is a role player. a niche guy. the other guys slash and drive to the hoop, kick it out to Allen for the open shot. Allen has played with other very good players on every team he’s been on, while Miller was the only baller worth mention on any of his Pacers squads. Ray Allen is great at what he does. but don’t let this coverage fool you into thinking that Ray Allen is a better basketball player than Reggie Miller.
I think the main point that you stressed, and needs to be emphasized, is the fact that Ray Allen is the better three point shooter than Reggie Miller and not the better all around player. Although he was the go to guy on his UConn squad in the mid 90′s, his game took a different direction when he got drafted by the Bucks in 1996. His game shifted to more of a game that depended heavily on the offense around him opposed to him creating his own shot. Opposed to the college ranks, the NBA is heavily centered around the players ability to create their own shots off the dribble or the pass. That is not to take away from what Ray Ray has done. In fact, he broke the record in LESS games and LESS shot attempts than Miller. This record will be etched in stone for a while, and should not go unnoticed or be compared to other players who have/have had a better overall NBA career.
