Ray Allen: My Role Model
Just a few words about #20 on the Boston Celtics... Ray Allen has a great work ethic, is tough, fierce, tenacious, loyal, dutiful, gentlemanly, gets to work early, stays late, plays through pain (ankle spurs hurt wicked bad if you didn't already know), is even-tempered in the midst of triumph or defeat, seems like a very nice person, doesn't try to grab the spotlight even though the spotlight seeks him out; is indisputably one of the greatest pure shooters of all time and the greatest 3-point shooter of all time (and did I mention that no one comes around a screen like Ray...), is not averse to repeating drills over and over again until he gets it perfect (and they call that OCD?), is a consummate professional; refuses to let his age get in the way of his greatness...Need I say more about this guy?
