Ranking the Sneakers Worn During Ray Allen's Greatest Performances

In honor of Ray Allen breaking the NBA's All-Time 3-point record in 2011, we look back at some of his greatest moments.

by Steve Jaconetta

Ray Allen moved past Reggie Miller and became the NBA's record holder for the most 3-point field goals made in a career, on this date in 2011. But that's just one of many memorable moments 'Sugar Ray' has had in his spectacular career. In honor of that anniversary, we're taking a look back and ranking some of Allen's greatest moments, dating back to his college days as a Husky, at the University of Connecticut. The biggest question remains, have we seen the last of Ray Allen? Or will he return to the court and possibly even add to this list?
