His three-point shot from Game 6 of the 2013 NBA Finals is etched into the memory of South Beach fans. The Miami legend is back on the field, but this time along with his former teammate, Dwyane Wade. The two guards had a historic run alongside LeBron James in 2013, and a year later, Ray Allen put an end to his career. Now, 9 years later, Wade and Allen are back together, taking their talents to a different sport this time.
Despite such a close bond, Allen surprisingly snubbed ‘The Flash’ in a controversial list that Miami Heat fans disliked. Not just Wade, but LeBron James was snubbed too! However, it looks like 3-time champion D-Wade is unbothered by Ray Allen’s list of his favorite teammates.

Ray Allen has played for 4 big franchises in his career. That too with Hall of Famers and legends. Kevin Garnett, Shaquille O’Neal, Paul Pierce from the Boston Celtics, Glenn Robinson from the Milwaukee Bucks, and Wade and James from the Heat are a few legendary players that Allen played with.
Well, it would be really hard to choose a top 5 from this, but the 10-time All-Star did not hesitate. Allen shared, “I am taking Glenn Robinson, Terrell Brandon, I have played with Shaq, and it is easy to put Shaq, and I’m gonna say KG”. Who is the fifth one? Obviously, the 48-year-old did not want to leave himself out.
Although this list might not be great for many, according to Allen, Glenn Robinson and Terrell Brandon were underrated superstars of the league. Superstars for their contribution to the game and underrated for the recognition they received.
