Forgot to mention

I forgot to mention how great it was watching Ray Allen on sunday night. It's hard to find pure shooters in the NBA anymore, and Ray Allen is one of the last (and best). He channeled his inner Jesus Shuttlesworth and tied the NBA record for most 3 pointers (7) in a finals game. IN THE FIRST HALF!

He went 7 of 8 from 3 in the first half, then ended the game with 8 3's to set the new record. He was shooting the lights out, and it was great for a former shooter like myself to watch and appreciate!!

Unfortunately, with the evolution of the league, I think it'll be rare to see such great shooters going forward. The league is trending toward strong penetrating guards, that can knock down a jumper now and then.
