Since being drafted in 1996, Ray Allen has been widely recognized as one of the NBA’s most dynamic three-point shooters. Even though he retired with two NBA championships under his belt, Allen’s name frequently comes up in discussions about athleticism and shooting prowess.
One admirer of Allen’s journey is former NBA star Stephen Jackson, who recently expressed his respect for Allen during an appearance on the Draft Kings podcast. Jackson offered high praise for Allen and claimed him as a one-dimensional player.
“I’m not saying Ray wasn’t great, but I’m a basketball player. I wasn’t one-dimensional. I just think I was a better player in-game,” Jackson said.
“But when it comes to lining up on the court against a lot of guys that’s Hall of Famers, I bust they a** a lot of nights. It’s just the truth. I should have been an All-Star in multiple years,” he added.
