Congratulations Ray Allen.



(Found this on Barstool Sports: Boston)

I can still remember the day Ernie Grunfeld traded away Ray Allen from the Milwaukee Bucks. I had a hard time believing Grunfeld that the right thing to do was break up the Big 3 of Allen, Sam Cassell, and Glenn 'Big Dog' Robinson for Gary Payton. Allen is the complete opposite of Payton, just a supreme class act and had the respect of the city of Milwaukee. I can still say to this day he is one of my favorite NBA players.



Last night, Allen set the record for most three pointers made in NBA history.  He broke Reggie Miller's record, which caused Eric to cry like a school girl seeing his favorite player lose the only record he has in the association. Don't worry E, at least you got Jerry Rice!  I could watch Allen highlights all day, he has a silky smooth jumper that barely touches anything but the bottom of the net.   Allen will be in the Basketball Hall of Fame for his great career over the years from being a leader in Milwaukee, taking an average Seattle team to the playoffs, and winning an NBA title with the Boston Celtics.

I would be hard-pressed to find a better clutch outside shooter than Allen in the NBA today.  Congrats again Ray from a Milwaukee fan that wishes you were still here.
