Simple question. No particular point to make. Just give me your decision when you have a few minutes.

I love the Allen game from when there's a couple minutes left and they're down 9. Because you can see Ray say to himself, "Hey what if I just tried to score the ball on every possession?"

Because of his era it never occurred to him to play that way. Can you imagine him playing today? 12 threes a game? Having the green light like Beal does? Yikes.

Curry is the first guy to really combine 3point shooting with a "I am absolutely shooting every single time I am open" mentality. Now there are a ton of guys who do it. Allen came in at the wrong time. Though perhaps he had to come in when he did so Curry could grow up watching him and think, "If that guy shot 10 threes a game, he'd score 30 a night and his team would win more games"

is there any player wasting away in the league more than beal? poor guy needs to end up on a contender ASAP. he's way too good to keep wasting away on the wizards. I've wanted him on the raptors for years now.



on topic OP I'm biased but I'll take ray allen the GOAT. his jumpshot is just too smooth.

Eh, people are going to be disappointed when this does happen. It will be more like Ray on the Celtics or Bosh on the Heat than people think. (Or, even Booker on this year's Suns. Beal is good, but his numbers are waaayy inflated right now.)

It's more fun to watch this guy, who isn't even a clear all-star or all-NBA player (he'll get it this year of course due to sheer numbers, but nobody feels bad leaving him out based on what it's like to watch him qualitatively), put up Jordan / Harden numbers just because there's nothing else to do.
