DIALING 2,561 from DOWNTOWN......CELTICS GUARD Ray ALLEN gets NBA Record for 3pt. Fg'S Made..2,561 passing PACER Great REGGIE MILLER

WALTER RAY ALLEN of the Boston CELTICS passed the GREAT Indiana PACER Guard Reggie MILLER for the all-time leader in 3pt. FG'S made with 2,561last night vs the LOS ANGELES LAKERS.

I remember when Ray was a promising Recruit out of Dalzell, South Carolina HILLCREST HS rated Top 40 in all of high school basketball. A sweet-shooting prospect that the Connecticut HUSKIES and JIM CALHOUN Landed as their #1 Recruit that year.

Ray was an absolute star the minute he landed on the CONNECTICUT Campus in Storrs, CT. He was an All-American and was 1995-96 1st Team All-American and Big East PLAYER of the YEAR. The most prestigious honor RAY received that year was USA BASKETBALL'S Male Athlete of the YEAR Award.

Drafted in 1996 by the MInnesota TIMBERWOLVES and traded on Draft Day to the Milwaukee BUCKS for the T'WOLVES rights to Stephen MARBURY......360 Degrees If RAY wasn't traded on Draft DAY he would have played with 2nd Year T'WOLVES Player and now Teammate Kevin "BIG TICKET" GARNETT.

Steph and Kev were top 5 PLAYERS in the USA in 1995 High School CLASS and McDonald's All-Aemricans with STEPH starring at Brooklyn NY LINCOLN HS and KEV starring at Chicago FARRAGUT HS by way of MAULDIN SC HS his first 3 years. Ray was not a MCDONALD'S All-American coming out of HS but a TOP 40 Prospect in the Country and lead HILLCREST HS to a STATE Championship.

He has always been a favorite of the BLUEDUDE'S simply because he is a fundamentally sound Ball Player with the Best shooting Strokes I have ever seen. They get no smoother then RAY aka Sugar RAY (That's what BRAND JORDAN calls Him) and/or Jesus SHUTTLESWORTH (the name given to him in the SPIKE LEE Movie...HE GOT GAME).

Ray attributes his Shooting Style to his condition of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder but it his Lifestyle that is not a prototypical Professional Athlete.

Not calling all professional Athletes bad people but Ray is a FAMILY Man, a Professionals Professional, and his non-stop work of his CHARITIES that makes him one of the best in the ASSOCIATION....PERIOD....One of his Charities is for the JUVENILE DIABETES FOUNDATION in which RAY'S Youngest SON has this condition.

As WALTER RAY ALLEN adds to his Record, passing Future Hall Of Famer REGGIE MILLER of the Indiana PACERS, he has one more year at about $10 Million that is a PLAYER Option with the CELTICS....and I am Sure if the Win a CHAMPIONSHIP......the man Brand Jordan calls SUGAR RAY and SPIKE calls Jesus SHUTTLESWORTH will be back in the BUILDING next year.
