- BOSTON: The move is becoming as much a part of NBA lore as Kareem’s skyhook, Jordan’s jumper or Shaq’s slam dunk: Ray Allen gets open off a screen, catches the ball and shoots a 3-pointer — all in one fluid motion.
With a total of 2,555 3-pointers in his career, Allen is on the verge of breaking Reggie Miller’s all-time NBA record of 2,560. Heading into Sunday’s game against the Orlando Magic, Allen needs five more 3s to tie the former Indiana Pacers star and six to surpass him as the shot’s most prolific practitioner.
Allen hit three 3-pointers against Dallas on Friday night.
But the Mavericks won when Jason Kidd scored from beyond the arc with 2.5 seconds left.
Kidd is third in 3-pointers — more than 800 behind Allen and Miller.
