Ray Ray and it aint even close bruh!!!!....Ray could at least create offense for others and himself in his prime...Both are great in their own right though
Why is Reggie Miller winning this poll Miller: 18ppg career, 3rpg 3apg and 39% from downtown. 144 playoff games, 20ppg, 2.9rpg, 2.5 apg 39% from downtown. made it out of the first round 7 times, 0 championships. Ray Allen 20ppg career, 4.3rpg 3.6apg and 40% from downtown. 102 playoff games, 20ppg, 4.1rpg, 3.5apg and 40% from downtown. made it out of the first round 5 times (6 coming up?) and 1 championship. Allen can make his own shot better than Reggie; is a better 3pt shooter; is very clutch; is better at finding teammates; is a better defender; and is a better rebounder.
Who has had the better career???... Ray Allen Who would I rather have in their prime if I had to pick one??? Reggie Miller for sure. -Ray Allen is better fit for the Celtics now as more of a catch and shoot guy, Im not sure a team could have that much success with him as the focal point of their offense. He was good with the Bucks early on as a go to guy, but they obviously didnt have that kind of success as a team. -With Reggie Miller, he was the focal point of the offense in Indiana. I would compare him more with how Houston is now with Kevin Martin in the way they ran their offense with him in mind to get shots or in the paint. Even though the Pacers never won it all, they were always in the thick of it all in the East with Miller as their go to guy.
Allen is a better all-around player. Miller is in the conversation mainly because of some big shots he hit in his career.
What had Miller won? Eastern Conference Champs? Remember the Bucks were real close to winning that in 2001, not a big difference
Both are good, HOF players. It's very close, but I'm going to give it to Ray, just because his numbers are slightly better.
Ray Allen obviously has the better overall game. But I'm struggling to think if there's a single thing that Miller was actually better at. He was known for being clutch, but I think Ray has proven in the last four years that he's plenty clutch himself. He's the league's all-time leader in threes now, too.
for those choosing reggie, they must have forgot how good ray was early in his career. Milwakee was a wasteland and Seattle was not that great and nothing without him. I've heard the weak argument that Ray never won anything being #1, but like someone else said, neither did miller. Plus, Miller had the benefit of being on a good team/playoff team, from the start of his career. Rather than being drafted to a 25 win Milwaukee wasteland.
