Biography[]
Walter Ray Allen (born July 20, 1975 in Merced, California), commonly referred to as Ray Allen, is an American professional basketball player for the NBA's Boston Celtics at the position of shooting guard. He has played professionally for the Milwaukee Bucks and Seattle SuperSonics and collegiately at the University of Connecticut. One of the most accurate 3-point shooters in NBA history, he is an eight-time NBA All-Star and won an Olympic gold medal as a member of the 2000 United States Men's Basketball Team. He is nicknamed "Jesus" due to his role as "Jesus Shuttlesworth" in the movie He Got Game.
NBA[]
Allen was drafted out of the University of Connecticut by the Minnesota Timberwolves with the fifth pick of the 1996 NBA Draft. Immediately after his selection, Allen and Andrew Lang were traded to the Milwaukee Bucks for the rights to fourth pick Stephon Marbury. He remained with the Bucks up until midway through the 2002-2003 season when he was traded with Kevin Ollie, and Ronald Murray and a first round pick to Seattle for Gary Payton and Desmond Mason.
In Seattle, Allen found moderate success making the playoffs only once, but averaging a career high 25.1 points a game and set the record for most 3 pointers made in a season. In 2007, he had a career high 54 points and shortly after had surgery on both ankles and many presumed that his career would be over.
On June 28, 2007, Allen and the 35th overall pick in the 2007 NBA Draft, Glen Davis, were traded to the Boston Celtics in exchange for Delonte West, Wally Szczerbiak and the 5th overall pick, Jeff Green. He is averaging 21.3 points a game and was named an all star in place of injured Wizards guard Caron Butler. During the game, he exploded for 14 points in 3 minutes and ultimately sealed the win for the Eastern conference, many feel he was snubbed for All Star MVP which was ultimately given to Lebron James.
