[@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...

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.

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.

[@willtrovinger4444]

He was amazing here in Milwaukee. I'm lucky I was able to see him play in person many times

[@youlostthedebate]

My favorite player of all time!!

[@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.

[@rodneyjackson1064]

Underrated career

[@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

[@brickmoney4152]

See this was Jesus Shuttlesworth . His Bucks and Super Sonics years, he was a animal. His 3 pointer really got automatic with Seattle

[@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.

Definitely love your reference to that 1999-2000 season. A very underrated year of AI for sure. First all star appearance in Golden State. First time being 1st team All NBA. First team being 1st team All Defense. Got his team to the 2nd round of the playoffs (beating the Hornets in the 1st round), before inevitably falling short to the Eastern conference champion, Indiana Pacers. I definitely feel you on that season getting that Maxamillion "GOAT SZN" video. That season put him on the NBA map, as a superstar.

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.
