We Need To Appreciate How Great Ray Allen Was! 2000-01 Highlights | GOAT SZN

[@bluebasketballinc6599]

I’m glad somebody shows how good Ray Allen was in Milwaukee he was more than a three point shooter

[@MozTheBoz]

Word... Casuals just know him as that 3-point specialist with the Celtics and Heat. He's more lethal when he was with the Sonics though...

[@xcikenna23]

He was also in a dunk contest.

Makes perfect sense why Bradley Beal’s draft comparison was Ray Allen. Never really got to see this side of him to understand why back then

[@adetovarhenchman5002]

Yeah look how in the big giving clips Bradley goes of off ball screeds to play make and then do those short mid range from the paint, like Beal does

[@moneyman4740]

@Cody R he was more like Ray allen early on , then his 3 ball took a hit after Wall went down and never recovered

[@Flyingsandwiches-nr1zc]

Ray was a force to be reckoned with. Ray looked like Kobe with that post game and those mid range jumper's. He was too good.

[@araynova]

3:46-3:50. Was the Ray Allen I fell in love with. So thankful I was alive and old enough, to see this part of his game. So much more than just a shooter. He was a shooter, that could score. In a variety of ways, via his great touch. So thankful for KZbin, and for Hoop connoisseurs such as MaxaMillion, that highlight these underrated parts, and seasons, of these great players.

[@ekvilibriumm]

These young fans nowadays literally have no clue how tuff NBA was back then. This was even early 2000s. Old era's intensity is unmatched, everyone in the court is hustling. It make todays games feel like scrimmage. Always only 1 to 2 players of each team has the drive dominate the game. Everyone else just chilling playing like they in scrimz

[@alpacamahbags4625]

He was an MVP candidate. He just didn't win.

[@TheWakeup011]

Most "shooters" lack the foot speed or handles to get their own shot consistently. Most "scorers" are not proficient enough from range to be considered shooters. Many are flat out erratic. Allen was the first "scorer" l can remember who was also a "shooter". He had it all.

[@NickPR87]

My favorite SG not named Michael Jordan. RayRay was soooooo good not only as a pure shooter, but driving to the rim and obviously coming off screens and pin downs. He was also very underrated as a defender and playmaker. I've always thought that Bucks squad would have been far more competitive against LA than the Sixers.

[@eboooo]

They say he was like Reggie but he handled much more imo. Seattle Ray was serious too

[@TheExclusiveOne720]

[@TimWing23]

Yes I've always said he was a baller with the Bucks. He attacked the basket more and handled it more. In Seattle he really started playing more off the ball running off screens.

[@stevewilson9778]

I think having Sam Cassell and to a slightly lesser extent, Glenn Robinson on the team allowed him to play this way more so than in Seattle. He became a bit more of a "playmaker" in Seattle along with the catch-and-shoot screen play. Rashard Lewis was legit but Seattle didn't have anyone comparable to Cassell.

[@marqueshunter695]

An elite scorer on all 3 levels- at the rim, mid range, 3 pt range. And a shooter as well. Liked how he mixed it up, because most shooter fall in love with the idea that every shot is a good look, early. Only in his last few years in the league, was he strictly a shooter.

[@bbryant9455]

we know how pure a shooter he was, especially in his younger days. But i always thought his athleticism was really underrated imo. even when he was in he got game, you could tell he was a little cut for his frame. he was cold af in milwaukee. george karl was a good coach but always alienating somebody lol

[@nocturne311]

His turnaround fadeaway has always looked crazy to me because his shooting motion and release are identical to that of when he's launching threes. I remember seeing an interview with Ray in which he pretty much confirmed this and stated that his motion and release always remain the same.

[@anthonycelestin3559]

First team being 1st team All Defense.
