It is a game-changer that could either bring the team back after being down by a lot or seal the game away as a dagger shot. It is the kind of shot you need to spend hours of work on and several days of repetition to master, or at least hit at a good clip. In the history of the NBA, a lot of games have been won and lost because of the three-point shot. And in league history, not many players have been able to match up with the incredible three-point shooting of Ray Allen.With almost 3,000 career three-pointers made, Ray Allen is one of the finest outside marksmen the league has ever seen from a historical standpoint. He was one of the few players of his era that lived from the three-point arc, as his mindset was always to shoot the ball from the outside as much as he could. But Allen did not do so just because he wanted to. Making a lot of three-pointers is not as simple as putting up a lot of attempts from that spot on the floor. But Ray-Ray did so because that was the skill he mastered from a young age. He put in hours of work and repetition to learn that shot and he mastered it at several spots on the floor to be effective from all over, both outside and inside the perimeter.
