Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame inductees 2018: A look back at their careers

#3 Ray Allen

The all-time leader in 3-pointers made in the NBA regular season as well as playoffs, Ray Allen's legacy as a first-ballot Hall of Famer was set the moment he set an NBA Finals record for most 3-pointers scored in a game in Game 6 of the 2008 NBA Finals.

Drafted by the Minnesota Timberwolves before being traded to the Milwaukee Bucks in a draft-night trade, Allen used the first 6 years of his career to build his resume as one of the best two-way players in the league. A fallout with coach George Karl, however, meant that he got traded to the Seattle Supersonics in February 2003.

The best years of his career were spent with the Sonics there, as he averaged 24.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.3 steals per game during his time there. But his failure to find playoff success with a franchise that couldn't surround him with adequate talent led Allen to demand a trade, which sent him to the Boston Celtics to team up with Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett in 2007.

A title and another Finals appearance and a Conference Finals appearance done, Allen moved on to the final phase of his career as largely a spot-up shooter with the Miami Heat, winning another NBA title after hitting the greatest clutch shot in league history and making another Finals series in the final season of his career (2013-14).

Allen set a league record for most 3-pointers in a regular season campaign with 269 in the 2005-06 season, a record that has since been broken by Steph Curry several times over.
