Since being drafted in 1996, Ray Allen has been widely recognized as one of the NBA’s most dynamic three-point shooters. Even though he retired with two NBA championships under his belt, Allen’s name frequently comes up in discussions about athleticism and shooting prowess.

One admirer of Allen’s journey is former NBA star Stephen Jackson, who recently expressed his respect for Allen during an appearance on the Draft Kings podcast. Jackson offered high praise for Allen and claimed him as a one-dimensional player.

“I’m not saying Ray wasn’t great, but I’m a basketball player. I wasn’t one-dimensional. I just think I was a better player in-game,” Jackson said.

“But when it comes to lining up on the court against a lot of guys that’s Hall of Famers, I bust they a** a lot of nights. It’s just the truth. I should have been an All-Star in multiple years,” he added.

Ray Allen’s NBA Career In A Nutshell

Ray Allen played 18 seasons in the NBA, playing for the Milwaukee Bucks, Seattle SuperSonics, Boston Celtics, and Miami Heat. He averaged 18.9 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 3.4 assists in 1,300 regular-season games.

The former NBA stars once held the record for the most three-pointers made in league history. Over his career, he was a 10-time NBA All-Star and was named to the All-Big East First Team twice. He also won the NBA Three-Point Contest in 2001.

The former Heat star retired from the NBA in 2014 and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2018. Recognizing his outstanding college career, the UConn Huskies retired his No. 34 jersey.

Like most others, Michael Jordan is attempting to make the most of his summer by taking a pleasant vacation. Online footage of the NBA legend traveling to Italy with his spouse, Yvette Prieto, has just surfaced.

In one video, Jordan and Prieto can be seen dancing at a table at what seems to be a nightclub. Like in his playing days, the six-time champion smokes a cigar on his night out. The pair eventually lose themselves in the intensity of the occasion and start dancing. Michael Jordan and his spouse traveled to Italy in elegance, as anticipated. The Chicago Bulls icon is currently on a superyacht.

Several memorable moments occurred during the evening, such as the amusing present from the nightclub: a tambourine with their faces from the same night’s picture. Prieto held the unique gift up for Jordan to see, and it caused grins and laughter.

Jordan also interacted with people on their Capri excursion, shaking hands, striking pictures at their table, and dancing with them. His approachable manner and eagerness to interact with people emphasized his genuine nature even more.
