Ray Allen, Arguably the Greatest Shooter of All Time, Was Also a Big Dunker

Ray Allen earned his Hall of Fame qualification through his deadeye shooting.  And throughout his career, he had shot several big-time three-pointers.
Biggest of all was the shot that saved LeBron James' legacy in Game 6 of the 2013 NBA Finals.

Most will say (including me) that Stephen Curry is the greatest shooter ever.  But until he surpasses Allen’s 2,973 career three-pointers made, there’s always some validity to the argument that Allen is superior.

However, what people tend to forget is that he also could create his own shot and finish at the rim...
...and was even a legitimate big dunker (he even competed in a Slam Dunk contest)!

His other talents getting overshadowed by his shooting is just a testament to how remarkable of a shooter he was.
