      dawox23 Ray Allen and Allen Iverson were the only 2 that were inducted into the HOF that mentioned Jordan as their biggest influence on their careers. No doubt MJ has influenced many other future hall of famers immensely (i.e. Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, etc).

Or like he's perfect and don't make mistakes. THAT shit with the hooker happened weeks later when people were saying he was thinking about making a comeback remember ?

Nobody has done what Allen did. Ray Allen shot was more important if you look at the overall picture instead of focusing on one player.

He was the nicest person ever and actually bought me some Chinese food and sat and talked to me as we both met; it was weird , it was almost like we were friends for years and I was just a fan. That was a moment of my life as a 17 year old that I’ll never forget, great player and a good person. Congrats to him for making the hall

      tough to say, very subjective. But I think there's something less "difficult" or clutch when you're in that situation and you have no other choice than to shoot. You don't have time to think or for pressure to build, you only have one option and it's to shoot. I think Lebron 3 right before could arguably be more clutch, and Jordan's in '98 because of the buildup and the time for defense to set, pressure to build, etc.

    what a great speech, I've seen a lot of speeches and a lot of players speak English as if it's their 2nd language literally struggling to find words and I understand the pressure of the moment but god Ray speaks his mind out without stopping once. Great ball player, great shooter and surely a better person. Thank you Ray

    Damn I feel old....but I feel great knowing that I got to watch great players come into the league and then exit the league as winners regardless of titles won. Wonder if Steph will have Ray and Klay up there when it's his time because that was a passing of the torch in a sense, from the greatest shooter of one era to the next era....Class of 2018 congrats to all of you!

      @mokujon 5 років тому +14

      He was there 6 1/2 years. He didn't mention it cause Karl traded him, a few other players and a 1st round pick for a washed up Gary Payton and Desmond Mason. They pretty much couldn't stand each other. He didn't mention Doc Rivers either lol. Rivers cut his minutes and wanted to trade him in Boston.

    • @jaycrew6967
      @jaycrew6967 5 років тому

      The George Karl thing I understand but Doc Rivers cutting his minutes was Not a bad thing. He was already up n age and actually doing Allen a favor by extending his career.

    • @mokujon
      @mokujon 5 років тому +3

      Cutting his minutes is fine but trying to trade him and not doing it was one of the main factors for him leaving to Miami.
