<h2>LeBron James Recalls Ray Allen’s ‘Lucky’ Legacy-Saving Triple</h2>



<p>Long before he set foot on an <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> court, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron-james" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LeBron James</a></strong> was already being considered the next big thing in the game. Some even<strong> compared him to Michael Jordan</strong> and claimed he was going to one-up him.</p>



<p>Whether he’s done it or will ever do it is not for us to debate. However, his <strong>negative record in the NBA Finals </strong>will always be a stain on his otherwise perfect résumé.</p>



<p>Notably, he was one <strong>Ray Allen</strong> three-pointer away from starting his career 1-3 in the NBA Finals, which is why some think that shot saved his legacy. Even so, he believes <strong>the former <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/miami-heat" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Miami Heat</a> star was lucky to have hit that shot.</strong></p>



<h2>LeBron James Discusses Ray Allen’s Epic Three-Pointer</h2>



<p><em>“I missed that one, and who knows if Timmy D is on the floor. Does he clean glass? He has cleaned a lot of glass in his career. But Bosh is able to get the rebound over Manu. Ray backpedals, doesn’t even look at the line,</em>” he said. <em><strong>“What if he steps on the line? What if he steps on the baseline? What if his toe’s on the line? There’s a lot of preparation because I watch Ray do that every day, prep like that, but I believe there’s some luck to that, too.”</strong></em></p>

<p>Under that logic, then <strong>every single shot in NBA history has been lucky</strong>. We can’t stop and think about what ifs and ripple effects of every minor thing that leads to a shot.</p>



<p>Of course, it’s also worth noting that the Heat were only in a position to come back because James <strong>was spectacular in the sequences leading to Allen’s three-pointer, </strong>so perhaps he just wants more credit for that.</p>

<p>Whatever the case, Allen’s shot will go down as one of the<strong> most epic in the history of this game</strong>, and it helped cement LeBron as the undisputed best player on Earth at the time.</p>

<p>However, there has been<strong> plenty of talent</strong> in the league since its inception. That’s why putting together an all-time starting lineup means you’re most likely leaving at least one all-time great behind.</p>



<p>That was the case when<strong> two-time <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> champion Ray Allen</strong> was asked to put together his all-time starting lineup, as he had no choice but to send LeBron to the bench.</p>

<h2>Jordan Is The GOAT, Says Ray Allen</h2>



<p>Notably, this isn’t the first time that the legendary sharpshooter has chosen Jordan over his former teammate, claiming that <strong>LeBron is actually a product of MJ:</strong></p>



<p><em><strong>“LeBron is a product of MJ, so a lot of what’s in LeBron — in his DNA — comes from Michael,”</strong></em> Allen said in 2011. <em>“For anybody that says that LeBron is the GOAT, they’re growing up in today’s era, and they believe what they believe based on how it feels and what he means to them, and that’s OK. <strong>But the way MJ affected the game, man, he had a stranglehold on the league and he struck fear in everyone because he was an unstoppable player.”</strong></em></p>






<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230403#CMS#0005"></div>


<p>Well, I guess someone’s<strong> not going to get invited to the next Heat BBQ</strong>. But Allen is older than James and he grew up watching Jordan play, and he’s got some valid points there.</p>

<p>Together, the Celtics became one of the powerhouses in the Eastern Conference, making it to the <strong>NBA Finals</strong> twice and winning a ring. However, their honeymoon was over as soon as Allen joined the<strong> Miami Heat,</strong> then their biggest rival.</p>
<p>For years, the Celtics’ championship team held grudges towards Allen and didn’t hesitate to let it be known. Finally, they put their beef aside and<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/ray-allen-says-stephen-curry-is-not-the-greatest-shooter-of-all-time-20210210-0008.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Allen</a> was in attendance at Garnett’s jersey retirement ceremony.</strong></p>
<h2>Ray Allen Skipped Jury Duty To Attend Kevin Garnett’s Jersey Retirement Ceremony</h2>
<p>As nice as it was for NBA fans to watch these three Hall of Famers bury the hatchet, it didn’t come without trouble for Allen, who <strong>skipped jury duty </strong>to attend the ceremony and is now facing a bit of a legal turmoil:</p>
<p><strong>(Transcript via the Miami Herald)</strong></p>
<p><em>“Allen was among 14 permanent and alternate jurors originally picked in early March for the federal trial of Jorge Aponte Figueroa, who was the only defendant of those charged who had not struck a plea deal with the U.S. Attorney’s Office. <strong>The trial was initially scheduled for March 14. But after he was selected as a juror, Allen asked the judge for a favor to start the trial the following day because he had to be a presenter at the jersey retirement ceremony of former Celtics teammate Kevin Garnett on March 13.</strong></em></p>
<p><em>To accommodate Allen’s trip to Boston, Cooke set her trial for March 15. But Allen didn’t show up. Her courtroom deputy, Ivan Marchena, tried to reach him and left messages with Allen. He didn’t respond. <strong>So the trial started without him, and the judge issued an order to ‘show cause’why Allen should not be sanctioned for failing to appear as a selected juror.”</strong></em></p>

<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p>Allen is expected to be <strong>heavily fined </strong>for failing to show up to court, although it’s not like he can’t afford it anyway. At least, that shows how much he truly wanted to be a part of Garnett’s special day.</p>

<p><strong>The game of basketball has changed.</strong> Even if some people don’t like <strong>today’s <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a></strong> or the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/golden-state-warriors-t101550" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Golden State Warriors</a> </strong>over their three-point friendly offense, it won’t go away any time soon. And you can thank<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/stephen-curry-t132201" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stephen Curry</a></strong> for that.</p>
<p>Curry took a weapon that was often thelast resort and made it his go-to way of hurting defenses. Now, <strong>kids are pulling up from 30+ feet </strong>and defenses are pressuring all over the court to prevent one of those shots.</p>
<p>The game will continue to evolve and it will eventually change again, maybe even going back to pounding the paint and leaving the three-pointer behind. But now that <strong>Curry <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/stephen-currys-records-all-the-records-held-by-the-warriors-star-20211214-0005.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">has broken the record</a> for the most triples made, </strong>let’s take a look at the 5 players with the most three-pointers in NBA history.</p>

<h2>NBA All-Time Leaders In Three-Pointers Made</h2>
<h3>5. Kyle Korver -2,450</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20211215_BUS_180721_kyle_korver.jpg_22993414_40bd260f.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Kyle Korver – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Of all of the players we’re about to mention, <strong>Kyle Korver</strong> might as well be the most special. And we don’t mean he’s the best of them by any means, but he’s the only one who was out there on the court with the sole purpose of knocking down three-pointers.</p>
<p>Korver became an average defender at some point in his career and he was a willing passer as well. But he was out there as a sharpshooter and for very good reason, as he shot nearly 43% from three per his career. He lead the league in 3p% four times, <strong>including a season shooting 53.6%, the highest percentage in league history.</strong></p>
<h3>4. James Harden – 2,509 (and counting)</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20211215_BUS_180721_james_harden.jpg_22993414_2f6c7f88.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    James Harden – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>James Harden</strong> has never been an efficient shooter, unless we’re talking about the free-throw line. Nonetheless, he’s still one of the best lefty shooters of all time, especially considering how many triples he attempts per game.</p>
<p>Thus far, Harden has knocked down 36% of his shots from beyond the arc. He’s got a career-high of 10 three-pointers made, and will continue to shoot the ball from deepregardless of if he’s gone 1/10. There’s no wonder why he was able to <strong>lead the league in scoring three times,</strong>as he’s one of the most versatile scorers ever.</p>
<h3>3. Reggie Miller -2,560</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20211215_BUS_180721_reggie_miller.jpg_22993414_c96f3808.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Reggie Miller – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Even though <strong>Larry Bird</strong> was perhaps the first player who started using the three-pointer as one of his go-to-weapons, it was <strong>Reggie Miller</strong> the one who made it popular. Opposing defenses often doubled him on the perimeter, yet he always found the way to pull up.</p>
<p>Miller managed to knock down <strong>over 2,500 three-pointers </strong>despite playing on an era with a slower pace and a paint-oriented offense. Shockingly, he only attempted 4.7 triples per game over his career, which speaks volumes of his efficiency and proficiency as a shooter. He was a 39.5% shooter from beyond the arc.</p>
<h3>2. Ray Allen -2,973</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20211215_BUS_180721_ray_allen_1.jpg_22993414_2d2bd731.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Ray Allen – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Even though most young fans remember <strong>Ray Allen</strong> for being an outstanding three-point shooter, he actually had to change his game to stay relevant in the league. Back when he entered the league, he was an aggressive driver that could score from all three levels.</p>
<p>Allen was way more than just a shooter but he mastered the fine art of knocking down shots from deep as his career passed. He snatched most of Reggie Miller’s records and was a career 40% shooter from three-point range.<strong> He led the league in triples made three times,</strong> knocking down 269 of 653 in 2006.</p>
<h3>1. Stephen Curry – 2,977 (and counting)</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20211215_BUS_180721_stephen_curry_record.jpg_22993414_5810fe54.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Stephen Curry – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Stephen Curry </strong>needed 511 fewer games than Ray Allen to break the all-time three-pointers made record. To put that in context, that’s nearly six full seasons. That’s how much the game has changed and how far ahead of the rest of the pack Curry is.</p>
<p>There’s no one that comes close to Steph when it comes to shooting. His technique, high arc, quick-release, follow-through, you name it. He’s the best at it. We’re talking about a guy who shoots 43.1% from three per his career <strong>despite attempting an absurd 13.4 triples a game.</strong> Even if someone breaks his record down the line, Curry will always be the best on this art.</p>

<p>After trying so hard over the last few weeks, Curry headed into Tuesday night’s showdown against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/new-york-knicks-t92326" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>New York Knicks</strong></a> just two three-pointers away from breaking Allen’s <strong>2,973 mark</strong> and he didn’t fail to make history.</p>

<h2>Stephen Curry surpasses Ray Allen for the most 3-pointers made in NBA history</h2>
<p>Stephen Curry now owns <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/stephen-currys-records-all-the-records-held-by-the-warriors-star-20211214-0005.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an impressive record</a> in the league that once again proves why he’s one of the best to ever lace them up. Not only he’s the player who scored the mostthree-pointers but reaching that feat <strong>also took him far less than it did to the previous record-holder</strong>.</p>
<p>While Ray Allen retired with 2,973 three-pointers after 1,300 games, Curry <strong>has already surpassed that mark playing less than 800 matches</strong>. So, we can imagine that, barring any setback,his record will be significantly better by the time he has as many appearances as Allen.</p>
<h2>NBA’s all-time leaders of 3-pointers made</h2>

Stephen Curry breaks Ray Allen's NBA 3-point record to be the all-time leader

Stephen Curry breaks Ray Allen's NBA 3-point record to be the all-time leader - Bolavip US

<p>Long before <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Stephen Curry </strong></a>took the <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> by storm</strong>, there was a huge ongoing debate about who was the<strong> <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba/top-15-best-3-point-shooters-in-nba-history-20200812-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">greatest three-point shooter</a> of all time</strong>. Some claimed it was<strong> Larry Bird,</strong> while others constantly talked about <strong>Ray Allen or Reggie Miller.</strong> Fast-forward to today and that debate looks kind of settled, as Curry has knocked down threes at an unprecedented rate and is poised to own every single three-point related record in the league. There’s no much doubt that he’s the greatest sniper to ever do it.</p>
<div style="text-align:center">
<div class="ck-youtube" id="youtube-66">      <span class="item first"></span>   <span class="item second"></span>   <span class="item third"></span>  </div>
<p></p></div>
<p>Then again, old-school ballers may not agree with that remark. For some, Curry is great at what he does but he’s not as great as some that came before him. At the end of the day, <strong>everybody’s entitled to their own opinion.</strong></p>
<p>One of the people who seems to disagree with Curry’s GOAT shooter status is the aforementioned Ray Allen, as he recently told<strong>Macklin Stern of CBS Sports</strong> that Reggie Miller should still have that distinction.</p>
<h2>Ray Allen Says Reggie Miller, Not Stephen Curry, Is The Greatest Shooter Ever</h2>
<p><em>“Steph is more on the ball, the point guard shooter. So it’s a different approach to the game. He’s an extremely incredible ball-handler, so it’s a different mentality when you’re handling the ball and not coming off screens. <strong>But I look at Reggie Miller and what he did—run off screens and just the fluidity of the game when he played it. For me, he was somebody I always looked up to and thought was amazing at how he performed his tasks</strong>,</em>” Allen started.</p>
<p><em>“<strong>Yes, Reggie [is the GOAT] because of the way he set the game up, the way he played the game.</strong> Obviously, I incorporated a lot of who he is into how I played. He was the standard-bearer. Without him, we don’t have a formula for moving forward. So that’s how I view it because it allowed me to do the things that I was capable of doing,” </em>Ray concluded.</p>
<p><span></span></p>

<div id="relatedNews-26">     </div>
<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p>Well, coming from the all-time leader in three-pointers made, that’s a hell of a compliment and a massive statement. Curry will still have plenty of time to change Allen’s mind, tho, <strong>although he has a big point.</strong></p>

Ray Allen says Stephen Curry is not the greatest shooter of all time - Bolavip US

<p>For decades, the debate about the greatest player of all time has been a subject of discussion on social media, TV shows, sports broadcasts, journalists, and even barbeques. <strong>From Bill Russellto Wil Chamberlain. From Larry Bird to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. From Kobe Bryant to Tim Duncan;</strong> it seems like there’s always some kind of back-and-forth. Nonetheless, no<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/sports/what-does-the-goat-mean-in-sports-20201229-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> GOAT</a> debate gets<strong> <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a></strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> </a>fans more involved and heated than when they talk about <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/lebron--james-t27090" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LeBron James</a> and <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/michael-jordan-t85627" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michael Jordan</a>. </strong>That’s a whole different level.</p>

<p>Most old-school fans are completely certain of<strong> Jordan’s GOAT status</strong> – unless you’re Isiah Thomas, but that’s a different story – while younger hoopers tend to lean towards LeBron James and what he’s done recently.</p>
<p>That’s why it’s kind of surprising to see that even <strong>Ray Allen </strong>– who shared the court with LeBron – believes that Jordan is on a superior tier, as he recently said in an interview with <strong>Macklin Stern ofCBS Sports.</strong></p>

<h2>Ray Allen Says Michael Jordan Is The GOAT And LeBron James Is A Product Of Him</h2>
<p><em><strong>“In my opinion, M.J. is the GOAT. LeBron is a product of M.J., so a lot of what’s in LeBron — in his DNA — comes from Michael.</strong> For anybody that says that LeBron is the GOAT, they’re growing up in today’s era, and they believe what they believe based on how it feels and what he means to them, and that’s OK. But the way M.J. affected the game, man, he had a stranglehold on the league and he struck fear in everyone because he was an unstoppable player,”</em> Allen said.</p>

<p>Well, Ray should know a thing or two about what he’s talking about. He did help LeBron win a ring with the <strong>Miami Heat </strong>and some even claim that his miracle three-pointer vs. the <strong>San Antonio Spurs </strong>salvaged<em> The King’s </em>legacy.</p>

<p>At the end of the day, both have put together incredible résumés, share countless records, and have impacted the game in ways no other player had done, so perhaps there’s no point in debating <strong>who the GOAT is.</strong></p>

Former LeBron James teammate says he's a product of Michael Jordan, the 'true GOAT'

Former LeBron James teammate says he's a product of Michael Jordan, the 'true GOAT' - Bolavip US

<p>It’s funny how drastically things can change in the blink of an eye. The decisions we make can have a toll on the way we think of or know about anything, and that’s what happened when <strong>Kevin Garnett shook the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> by joining the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/boston-celtics-t101837" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Boston Celtics</a> in 2007.</strong></p>
<p>Garnett tried to lead the <strong>Minnesota Timberwolves</strong> to an NBA championship but constantly fell short of the goal as the team’s management failed to surround him by elite talent. Then, it was clear that they had to hit the panic button and rebuild, while <em>The Big Ticket</em> could still join a contending team to fulfill his dream of winning a championship.</p>
<p>However, things could have been pretty different back then, as<strong> Ray Allen r</strong>ecently confessed in <strong>James Posey’s podcast</strong> that he was the one who convinced Garnett to join the Celtics, as he had actually<strong> agreed to be traded to the Los Angeles Lakers to join forces with Kobe Bryant.</strong></p>

<h2>Ray Allen stopped Kevin Garnett from joining Kobe Bryant in 2007</h2>
<p><em>“Kevin Garnett had a no-trade clause and<strong> he was planning on going to the Lakers and teaming up with Kobe</strong>. But Danny Ainge came up to me later in the summer saying we might have something brewing with KG,” </em>Allen said. <em>“So I got on the phone with Kevin and I was like ‘we would love you here, this is a great situation and I’m excited’. <strong>It helped him because we knew each other growing up and he knew it was going to be a new situation for all of u</strong>s,” </em>he added.</p>

<p>This move ended up altering the course of history as we know it. <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba/nba-big-three-every-team-best-trio-since-2000-20200804-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Garnett and the Celtics </a>beat the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2008 NBA Finals to add to their league-leading <strong>17 Larry O’Brien trophies.</strong></p>

<p>Later on, they rematched in 2010, this time with the Lakers ending on top. But if Garnett had joined the Purple and Gold, it’s likely that not only the Celtics hadn’t made it to the Finals in 2008 but also that Kobe would have won a second three-peat <strong>and tying Michael Jordan with 6. Perhaps, history would rank him even higher after that.</strong></p>
