NBA: Five best 3-point shooters right now

2. Ray Allen

He’s the best 3 point sniper of this generation. The deadliest shooter in the league is also one of the oldest players in the league. Ray Allen’s legendary status as a 3 pointer shooter is no secret. He holds the all time record for most number of 3 pointers made. Allen didn’t have the best year of his career when it comes to 3 point shooting. He ranked number 11 in 3p% (.419). However, he made the most important 3 point shot of the year.

It was Game 6 of the NBA finals. The Heat were trailing by 3 points with less than 10 seconds on the clock. LeBron James took a 3, missed it and Chris Bosh collected the rebound. And who was open at exactly the right spot at the right time? Allen. Bosh passed it to Allen who coolly dropped the shot as if it was a practice game. No pressure, guys. That shot sent them in to overtime which made sure that Heat got another game, another shot at the title.

Ray Allen is 38 years old and he will retire soon. However, until his last game, we know that Allen will do what he does best: Provide clutch 3s calmly, and then celebrate like a maniac after they fall. His retirement will be a great loss to the game.
