1994: Ray Allen broke Reggie Miller’s career record of 2,560 three-pointers against the Lakers on Thursday. Here are some rare photos of the Celtics’ sharpshooter. As a military child, Allen spent time in California, England and eventually South Carolina, where he blossomed into a basketball star. He spent three years at UConn and earned first-team All-America honors in 1996. Not surprisingly, he set the school’s career mark for three-pointers made (115).
1997: Allen was drafted fifth overall by Minnesota in 1996 and was promptly traded to the Bucks along with Andrew Lang for Stephon Marbury. In this photo, Allen is seen spending quality time with a group of young Bucks fans.
1997: These days Allen is known more for his shooting touch than his dunking prowess, but in 1997 he took part in the Slam Dunk Contest and finished fifth out of six.
