Ray And The Hall
By Andrew Ayres | ESPN.com Boston Celtics guard Ray Allen, 32, appears to be on a Hall of Fame track. The seven-time All-Star is a 39.7 percent career 3-point shooter, trailing only Reggie Miller all-time in 3-pointers, a shot that was introduced to the NBA in 1979.
A formula used at basketballreference.com puts his HOF probability at 69.9 percent. Kevin Garnett looks like a lock at 97.3 percent. Paul Pierce checks in at 77.3 percent. The Celtics' Big 3 of Robert Parish, Larry Bird and Kevin McHale are already enshrined in Springfield. Allen-Garnett-Pierce are now out to make a name for themselves. But admission to the shrine can be difficult. Of note, the HOF predictor tool says Boston's 1970s great Jo Jo White had a 84.7 chance, but he's not in Springfield. Ken Shouler made a case earlier this year for White, a U.S. gold medalist and NBA Finals MVP.
