Ray Allen - 2008 NBA Finals Full Highlights vs Lakers (720p HD)

[@jayholg]

I like the way he never cried for a foul when he hit the floor. Just got up and kept on playing. And how he never got cocky after he scored.

[@seansklenar3509]

They say "act like you've done it before", and Ray Allen had been scoring on fools for years

[@llay1057]

Hell yeah

[@aa1944-k2r]

he was drafted in 96 and played against the goat himself, he is old school

[@mattyicex1728]

Game has changed sadly my Friend

[@elliotdubois14]

Not only is Ray Allen an amazing shooter, he is the absolute best ever at getting open for shots and making his man look silly chasing him around the court.

[@decishere2476]

You wanna correct that statement now?

[@victordwyer1018]

Yeah, he runs around tthe middle of the floor, and gets his defender stuck in there, with some help with a screen, and gets open or his man just gets trapped in the middle, it's really smart and a lot more players should use it

[@shatukiki]

@@decishere2476 yeah, Steph Curry is on another level getting himself open

[@JackMcCabe_76]

People need to remember just how good Ray Allen was both throughout his career and in this series. These finals he's at 20 ppg on 50/52/86 splits he was a big reason why they won this finals and was an all time great.

[@dudestravel8934]

And one of Kobe’s primary defenders. Ray ray got robbed of FMVP.

[@euLIRIC]

In my opinion he was better that final than Paul Pierce.

[@omaryusufmohamed1242]

Definitely the Finals MVP that year..

[@Ryandupont0896]

Damn i miss those days......

[@jtkapoonga4350]

[@danteshakespeare188]

Tatum!

[@clasher101]

should have won MVP here, the most consistent player on the celtics that finals series.

[@assassinmcmg]

I agree. But choosing the MVP is always arbitrary especially in the finals. They probably gave it to Pierce since he's the heart of the Celtics since he has been there since his rookie year. I thought Garnett though was the best player in the team but Allen was the best player in the finals series. It was crazy. He made like 20 threes in the whole finals including 7 in game 6 and played the whole 48 minutes in game 4 on that crazy 24 point comeback

I feel like Ray Allen was really robbed for the Finals MVP imo cause he was just invincible un this series.

[@kennethjose7159]

MarQuel they had to give it to the boston guy, pierce

[@ahmedhassan4141]

QSip yup big time

[@victoriannecastle]

QSip I thought I was the only one who thought it

[@xavierrodriguez7938]

True

[@propopaulmd9654]

True. Pierce's finals MVP award was more like "due respect" for being a long time celtic. Whenever they're trailing, Ray Allen is the guy they need. 11:20 even the announcer says it so.

[@kiroppi6687]

Based on stats alone and impact shots, I thought Ray should have won FMVP.

[@suheyharichandran5638]

12:00 love how Ray told KG to back off on the game-sealing isolation play

[@lukacalov1988]

He was the best player in that series Deserved FMVP

[@whocares1216]

I could watch his highlights all day long

[@bdon20104real]

Ray Allen is a walking “motherfucking” bucket. His shots barely hits the rim. He keeps running around to get open all game long and never gets tired. His conditioning is freakishly epic. Almost like a video game 99% player

[@kcchinkcc]

Never forget this year

[@Amjbmcg]

He clearly outplayed Kobe (who's supposed to be as good as MJ to some delusional fools, it's like Drexler outplaying Jordan in 92 ahaha) - And Pierce should have been 3rd in the running for FMVP - Ray probably was the MVP, KG next (defensive anchor and leadership is not on paperrrr). Ray = 20ppg on 66% eFG and 87% FT with great defense on Kobe. Scoring is about efficiency, Pierce had more PPG because he shot more, that's all PPG is, more shots. ANYONE can TAKE shots, it's all about making. Ray was incredible at putting the ball in the bucket. KG wasn't too effective offensively, that's why RAY WAS THE REAL MVP! KG was more dominant than Pierce though! RAY IS THE 5TH GREATEST SG EVER!

[@eesa_1980]

Or it's like a young Shaq and even younger Penny outplaying a prime Jordan and Pippen (the two greatest players in the NBA at that time on the same team) in the 1995 eastern conf. semis. Oh wait...that actually happened! Doesn't mean a thing to Jordan's legacy though. Just happens sometimes.

[@franklinclinton3476]

Lewis James-Odwin Bulls got pay back in 96

[@kobenottop1003]

Lewis James-Odwin Penny didnt outplay Jordan... Shaq and Jordan were the 2 best players in the series.

[@AD-ur1fk]

Delusional celtics fan. What happened in 2010. Lol 1 title in 3 decades. I love ray but he’s not 5

[@user-gb2vk2ff8x]

I honestly thought Ray Allen should've been the MVP of the 2008 Finals....he was best shooter and most consistent.

[@isaacbadwy]

What a great Celtic team, amazing chemistry and the craziest comebacks ever, most teams would of gave up.........Respect!!!!....I'd have to say Ray Allen has to be regarded as one of the best shooters ever......Garnet was a badass crazy dunks, Pierce was sick.....Pose, the whole fucking team lol.....If only the 2019 Boston Celtics had chemistry they would of been one of the greatest teams of all time on paper that is

[@Grind2Excellence]

He had good handles & playmaking as 2 guard ngl

[@HE4TCHECK]

This is 50% Ray Allen highlights 50% Rondo highlights I forgot how nice he was

[@hulkyouup]

The Celtics were so dominate this year, the Lakers didn't have a chance. The series really felt like a sweep. The game 6 blowout win was a great exclamation point to a fantastic season.

[@Gandalf_the_Gold]

As a lakers fan it really felt close until that last game that was just a dominant way too win a championship

If only Doc didn't sit Ray down for the rest of the game..... His NBA finals 3 of pt record would've been higher and untouched. He was in another zone that night and won the game before it was over!

Got robbed of finals MVP, he was more consistent than Pierce and shot 52% from 3

[@RCandFishing]

He definitely got robbed, they gave it to Pierce just because he's been with the Celtics for a long time. SMH.

[@nicoli-thenextup9866]

I learned something new Ray Allen deserved that finals mvp

[@XerosDevil]

19:30 Watch Joey Crawford.

[@Wetrockstah2116]

Still IMO the greatest "shooter" of all time. Not just 3 pt shooter, just greatest SHOOTER. From 3, mid range, and definitely the best shooter ever in the corner, Ray Allen was the reason the Celtics won this championship and he was the reason why lebron won with the heat. The man has been robbed of this MVP and overlooked Soo much yet he has had the greatest impact on any team he has played on considering his threat to nail that jumper everytime he touched the ball. 💯💯💯 Ray Allen the greatest shooter in NBA history.

[@josephrecinos14]

And people want to compare Steph Curry to Ray Allen, his greatness will never be matched... Idgaf if steph breaks his record or breaks every record there ever was/is, Ray Allen will forever be the greatest shooter of all time🙌!! Ray Allen played with more competition than steph will ever play against and steph shoots what? 12-16 three point shots a game? He's overrated as fuck, if Ray shot that much a game imagine how many records he would've broken...

[@J360-g1p]

2 different generations and positions although you have a good point there completely incomparable.

[@willfarber8290]

so true ray allen is the greatest 3 point shooter of all time no matter what

[@yawgmoth6568]

I would say Curry is the better shooter, Ray Allen probably had a more complete offensive game and was certainly a better defender, though Curry still has time to grow in that respect. The biggest difference is Curry has gotten to play with a great team around him his entire prime and will likely have a great team around him until he leaves his prime, whereas Ray Allen only had that for maybe a year or two of his prime and one of those years Garnett was injured so we never saw the complete team for probably their last real prime year. In 2010 they big 3 had all left their primes but were still good enough collectively to make the Finals and push the Lakers to 7 games.

[@connormerrill8371]

Man curry can shoot the ball better.

+Nathan Pillay It was kind of a lifetime achievement award for Pierce in a sense. But yeah Ray Allen deserved it a bit more imo.

[@nathanpillay3412]

That's fair.

[@steeguzman8726]

+Nathan Pillay Pierce did everything from rebounding, passing, and playing good defense and was unstoppable driving to the basket that's why he got MVP

[@clocksheep1301]

I'm with you man, but I suppose his really great game where he absolutely stood out was game 3 and that was a loss so that wasnt really in his favor. In the other games when he did well everyone did well. So I've made my peace with that choice

[@bruceleroy2335]

Stee Guzman so was Ray Allen! And he did it more consistently... Paul Pierce has a 9 point game on horrible shooting and took way more shots than Ray in the series... Got credit for outplaying Kobe by the media and he wasn’t even the one guarding him, they should’ve been saying that about Ray...

i think they use a different type of paint for the nba logo stuff but the nba teams use paint with alot more traction for their homecourts all i know is there was one series where everyone was slipping on the logos the nba made, then they never messed with the courts after that.Same thing with the bucks recently they used a different type of paint on their court and everybody was slipping and sliding they had to cancel the game and fix up their court

[@ndn4203]

Boston looked really good this year. You could tell age was a factory the next couple years. KG and Ray were so explosive that year.

[@Fermion.]

I agree. This team had heart, skill and athleticism, in that order. Their best 3 players were all willing to sacrifice their personal stats for the good of the team. (The way *NBA Champion Coach Doc Rivers* orchestrated team morale was also amazing to watch). That's leading by example. With stars and coaches giving 100%, the rest of the team will follow suit and play their asses off...every time. Too bad this team wasn't formed in The Big 3's primes (with Doc Rivers HC). Doc's prime Big 3 would've dominated the NBA for years.

[@yawgmoth6568]

Unfortunately we were robbed off one more prime year in 08-09 when KG was injured. By the time the 09-10 season came around they had all aged 2 years and Garnett now had injury limiting some of his effectiveness too. Still that team played in game 7 of the finals and almost won. They might've still even been good enough to get back the following year had James and Bosh not joined Miami.
