THE NBA NEEDS MORE PEOPLE LIKE RAY RAY

“What is the first thing to hit your brain when I say Ray Allen? Shooting Guard? NBA Champion? Sweetest Shot, maybe ever? When I think of Ray Allen, I think of a guy who has OCD and wants to improve his shot as well as the life of his teammates, friends and the rest of the NBA. For Years Ray Allen has been one of if not the best
PERSON in the league. There is a huge line in my eyes between player and person off the court. Ray Allen goes out of his way to let the community know who he is and what he stands for.

From Day 1 in Seattle Ray Allen took out a Full Page Ad in the Seattle Times talking about how his dad was in the Military and how he traveled all over all the time and how Seattle Made him feel at home. That same year Ray won the NBA Sportsmanship Award.

When receiving the Joe Dumars Sportsmanship Award in 2003 Ray Allen was Quoted as saying, “There are a lot of guys in the league who do their jobs well,” Allen said. “I pride myself on doing my job well while also representing myself, my family and my teammates with pride and respect.” - AP Ray is also part of the Read to Achieve Program formed by the NBA and Not only does Ray Allen help the city of Seattle when it needed it the most in the early years, but when he was called upon in the NBA Finals for the Celtics he Stepped up huge and averaging more points in that single series than any other in the play offs that year. While Averaging 20 points, 5 Rebounds and 2.5 Assist for an OCD Shooting guard I would say is not too shabby. Why are there not more guys like Ray Allen, who put the Community, Teammates, and Family First???? I know if there were more guys like him, I’d watch the NBA More often!!
