I hate that Ray Allen just put the dagger in the Career of KG and P2

[D.o.s.]

Who is Allen to put a "dagger" on a former league MVP and face of the league's career and a Celtics legend and Finals MVP whose name will be next to Bill Russel and Larry Bird and who hit some of the most unrealistic and unimaginable clutch shots in the faces of countless superstars and legends?

I think he's next to the Outrageous-Hyperboles. They live down the street.

Anyway, Ray Allen will probably go down as the best three point shooter in NBA history (at least, so far), depending on what happens with Steph Curry.

Being a great 3 point shooter doesn't really hold much against KG's and Pierce's legendary careers. Does it?

Actually, I'd put all of their careers on about the same level, objectively speaking. Speaking as a Celtics fan, it goes Pierce+KG>Allen, obviously.

KG is above both , no question about that,

Pierce is just above Allen as well IMO, if you factor in success , in the end Ray obviously seems like he has the most

but Pierce does have an MVP

Pierce is a more versatile player

but all 3 of these players are basically so unique to the positions they play

They will go down as the top of what they do best.

For all his career achievements, he is a little mouse when compared to that of KG and Pierce. It was all about KG before LeBron and Pierce's name will be among some NBA legends where people won't even think about somebody named Allen.


...I'm not underrating him. But let's be real, Allen's legacy was forever destroyed when he left Boston and went to the team that just beat them. 50 years from now, people will remember him as a classic example of "when you can't beat em, join em". Sure he hit his clutch shot against the Spurs last year, but wasn't that something he was supposed to be good at anyways (the corner three) and supposed to hit considering how wide open he was at that moment? Also, it's much easier when you don't have to take the pressure for missing the shot and it's LeBron who takes all the criticism, even for your mistakes.

Overall, Allen's legacy and career, for however good you believe it is, is no where close to that of the The Big Ticket's and The Truth's.

lol, are you drinking the green cool aid?

Oh yea that shot was so easy right? Yea he was wide open right? back peddling as he caught it making sure he was behind the 3 point line, with minimal time left, if it was a 2 it would have probably been a loss. Oh yea and the season was on the line in a finals game.

*sarcasm*

That's great and all, but aside from the mental pressure of that shot (finals, game on the line etc.), how many times has he physically made such a shot in the last several years? Probably double digit times.

The shot wasn't easy, but let's not overrate the difficulty of that shot, as if it was somee turnaround-fadeaway-one-foot shot.

It just seems like your finding something to downgrade the shot

If Piece hits that shot and you say this, your getting bombarded by every single member in this forum.
