Are You Kidding Me? – Flawless Technique

Ray Allen All-Time Leader in 3-Pointers Made

If you’ve ever watched the Milwaukee Bucks during in the late 90’s or the Seattle SuperSonics (now the Oklahoma City Thunder) back in the mid-2000’s, you witnessed a prolific scorer who arguably has the purest stroke in the NBA, Ray Allen.

And although, he sacrificed the most out of the three joined superstars, on February 10th, the spotlight was solely focused on number 20.

Ray Allen surpassed the legendary Reggie Miller as the NBA’s all-time leader in career 3-pointers made with 2561. (Watch it)
