#1 The Shot
This without a doubt, is Allen's most clutch moment in his career. It's Game 6 of 2013 NBA Finals between the Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs at American Airlines Arena. Spurs leading the series 3-2 going into the game. With 20 seconds left on the clock, some heat fans had already left arena when yellow tapes and ropes came all around the court.
With 8.2 seconds left on the clock and score being 95-92 in favor of the Spurs, Chris Bosh grabs a crucial offensive rebound off a missed 3-pointer from LeBron James, with both LeBron and Mario Chalmers free, Allen backpedals to the corner where Bosh finds him and Allen forces the game to overtime with that dagger. Not only did the Heat win the game, they went on to capture the NBA title by winning the crucial Game 7.

When asked about the famous shot by the Atheltic recently, he said: "I don’t rate my shots, but it was special. There are so many shots that I have been a part of. The shot is one thing, but I know what I have done to get in that position. The things that happen in practice mean more to me than anything. The games are what fans see, but practices are really how I was made"
