RAY ALLEN AND THE PREGAME SHOOTING ROUTINE


Ray Allen's clutch three point shot with just seconds remaining in Game 6 of the 2013 NBA Finals will go down in the annals of NBA Finals history as one of the greatest shots in one of the biggest games of all time. Allen's three pointer from the corner tied the game, sending it to overtime, where the Heat eventually prevailed to force a Game 7.  It was an amazing shot that will always be remembered.  Everyone watching around the world only witnessed one amazing, heroic shot from Ray Allen; they haven't witnessed the millions of shots from Ray Allen in solitude...practicing, working, and shooting to be the best shooter in the game.  People see the success, but don't realize the work and the hours that Allen put in for that moment of glory.  Take a look at the two YouTube videos that detail Ray Allen's obsession with being the best:  the pre-game shooting routine.
