Ray Allen Is 10x The Player Reggie Miller Was

[jjgold]

Miller had a few clutch games against Knicks and everyone thought he was all world

Allen does it every year like 10x a year for the last 12 years

[Chi_archie]

its amazing how close they are in career #'s..... Allen should surpass miller as the all time most 3 point fg's made leader next year i think

[Tree Rollins]

You could definitely make the argument that ray is better. Not 10x better though.

[jjgold]

I think Allen hit a lot more clutch shots in big games though

What clutch shots and in what games?

[Chi_archie]

in fairness, i think Allen has had better teamates, Reggie WAS the team.... well rick smits helped a bit

[Holtgetsback]

What clutch shots and in what games?

The whole Bulls series last year could be JJGOLD'S argument and he would still have a strong case.

He Got Game


Reggie never had 1/10th of the team Ray has now though

[Mr Windy City]

He might be better than Reggie, but I dont know about 10x, JJ.....Might be a bit of a stretch

Yeah but that's a first round series against an 8 seed and Ray Allen was the 3rd or 4th best player on the team. Will people remember those shots 10 years from now?

I might remember that series in 10 years, but not Ray Allen's shots.

I'm not saying Ray is better or Reggie is better. I'm just curious about JJGold's reasoning.

Allen is Solid... Miller was a pu$$y...

I think it will go down as a top 3 series of all time...

Incredible series really. Every game was edge of the seat. What were there like 7 overtimes throughout?

[Chugs]

False.

[mtneer1212]

Sorry coach --- not with you on this one. Miller was the whole team -- Allen has Garnett -- Miller has Rik Smits.

[Andy117]

Reggie Miller was awesome.

I freakin love that series.

[SBR_John]

I think Reggie was a better player and leader on a team that was not loaded. Ray made some great 3's tonight though.

[tltaylor89]

Millers is 1x better than Allen

[smitch124]

Hyperbole alert!!

[stealthyburrito]

ray is definitely the better player, but not by much. both are very clutch shooters though.

[bigbank]

10x, can I have some of whatever it is your smoking.

[HenPrivilege]

Damn soon do we forget what era Reggie Miller played in. No one was getting by the Pistons and the Bulls.

The only comparison is that they have similar games. You can even compare Rip Hamilton. These guys love motion offense coming around screens for jumpers.

[kisado]

It would be arguable as to who was greater. Both were clutch, but Miller was easily more clutch. Ray will have bigger career numbers, but the context was a bit different IMO. No doubt, Reggie went up against tougher, more physical teams during an era where NBA was more of a sport and less of this WWE type entertainment wherein, the superstars get cradled like babies.

yes

Ray Allen > Miller in terms of the basketball talent and skill.
Miller's legacy,career,big moments >> Ray Allen's (even if Ray has the ring(s?))

[VTranX]

they call him "mr clutch" or a reason.

[Goat Milk]

This.

But Ray Allen has had huge moments and will go down as a much better player than Miller. Who is a better pure shooter is a different story, Ray is the much better player.

Agreed, Ray is a better overall player but Reggie was clutch and carried his teams while Ray doesn't have to.

[kobefanatic]

what's up with all of this players comparison?

[andywend]

Why do people even care at all about these players especially to the point about comparing them and getting into a full blown argument about who is better?

In my opinion, the best player of ALL TIME is Rajan Rondo as he has played way better than expected against the Cavs and the Magic. He is the most responsible for the Celtics beating the Cavs which led to the cashing of my Celtics +700 series ticket and hopefully my Celtics +2000 Eastern conference ticket.

RAJAN RONDO, THE BEST PLAYER OF ALL TIME!!!!

[brandonlang]

miller was the man back in the day

[podunk]

allen never silenced the knicks

[IndyJonezy]

I don't know... Miller pulled off some amazing games here in Indy. But i am bias so oh well

[Snowball]

Ray is better. truism.

[sideline36]

Ray is better in paint and at defense!
