How the am i suppose to know, I don't spend my entire day on this site like you bandwagoner
It's not just the insane degree of difficulty either, it's the game situation and the fact that the Spurs had still never won a championship at that point and had suffered through so many playoff disappointments, tbh.... it's the only shot I'd definitively rank above Ray's...

Bend over, I'll give ya 6 and then some.
You said Ray didn't have to look at it..that simplifies the dynamic of that shot..you're just pissed off your team lost to mine, tbh..
it was a of a shot... but I think to rank it up there as the 'greatest' it would have to at least be a gamewinner?
Not as clutch as that shot Kobe took in the shower.
that shot saved lebrons career, it was ing huge. LeBron could've been a 1 timer with 4 attempts. LeBron should donate half of his 2013 salary to allen quite frankly.
o, Tim Duncan.
it wasn't a game winner but a life saver for them heat imho. there's no doubt about the significance of that shot and it was also a toughly contested shot that would've been missed 9 out of 10 times even though the shooter was Ray Allen. Dude was shooting the ball off backwards steps and he was already off balance, his back crooked and his body posture awkward as , yet the ball still went in after all, with some luck
I agree the idiot needs to get a life.
I live on 6 support, I guess.
Hmm...so where would you put .4 and Jordan's shots (over Ehlo and Russell)? Just curious.
(I agree with your evaluation of the MDM, btw. Shot was a ing masterpiece.)
Not sure its the greatest but its up there.
Horry in wcf
Magic junior skyhook
Mj on Russell
Mj on ehlo
Are the ones that come first to my head. Finals obviously are highest stakes ... So Ray, Mj on Russell and junior Skyhook have to be near top. Outside of Finals
Horry vs. Sac
.4
Memorial miracle
And Mj over Ehlo the way mj hung and waited for Ehlo to land was sick ...
that gayray shot, right in front of tps grill
Simmons is one of the most reactionary and in the moment guys ever so it's no surprise he said something like this. No doubt though that Ray Ray's shot was huge, the hugest in recent memory. That's all I'll say. Oh, and thank god it went in.
Simmons is trash and that shot was a lucky one. This is one of the best shots in the history of basketball.
If 3s to force OT are amazing then Gary Neal should be in the GOAT conversation IMO
In terms of what was on the line, Ray Allen's shot was pretty important. But it wasn't a finals-clinching shot. Nor was it a particularly difficult shot for him (wide open in the corner).
Aesthetically, a corner 3 is also one of the least impressive looking shots in the game. Not that that matters to me, but from the televised perspective of the basketball-watching masses, the corner 3 looks like a much shorter distance than other 3 point shots.
Aesthetically and in terms of importance, Jordan's shot comes to mind as being clearly superior. That shot literally won a championship. A few Horry gamewinners as well are above the Ray Allen 3 as well.
It was without doubt the most important shot in LBJ's career.
It also slammed the championship door shut on the Duncan era.
And the other half should be split between Manu and Pop.
Simmons also says Duncan was the best player of the 2000-2009 decade. He says a lot of . I don't agree with some of it, others I do. Hey, he's like people here it seems.
he did. He had flipped to Kobe for a while after Kobe rang back2back ...but lately he has been on the Duncan bandwagon (POTD).
Simmons used to be much better. Swept up in analytics, his kids or moving to Cali somehow he is nowhere as funny or relevant. I used to get a good laugh even when he slammed the Lakers. his last mailbag/NFL picks only got one "chuckle" and it was the first time he made me laugh since maybe last June's Finals. I admire how he grew his blog, 30 for 30 and Grantland. But I think he is past his peak/prime. I do think he truly loves hoops (Despite his biases) and for that and the old Boston sports guy days he will have my respect.
heat fan needing Ray allen to save lechoke's legacy.
I'm not sure if any shot has ever had more at stake than Ray's shot in game 6. I think that alone deserves for it to get consideration.
I certainly don't see how anyone can say that Horry's shot against Sacramento was superior, since it was almost the same thing, only less difficult and with less on the line.
IMO, this shot, and the MJ over Ehlo shot are the two greatest shots ever, when you weigh in the difficulty of the shot, and what was at stake. Both of them were the difference between winning and losing a playoff series. They were do or die shots. I can't recall many other do or die shots. Calvin Booth's shot against Utah is the only other that is popping in my mind at the moment.
