tough to say, very subjective. But I think there's something less "difficult" or clutch when you're in that situation and you have no other choice than to shoot. You don't have time to think or for pressure to build, you only have one option and it's to shoot. I think Lebron 3 right before could arguably be more clutch, and Jordan's in '98 because of the buildup and the time for defense to set, pressure to build, etc.

Great ambassador of life and basketball. Classy, humble and a true professional - always reliable and clutch. You deserve your HOF. Congratulations and a toast to your greatness.

I’ll never forget being at work at Rocky Rococo in the summer of 2000 in Wauwatosa WI (suburb of Milwaukee WI) and seeing Ray Allen (favorite player at the time) walk past and I went to talk to him. He was the nicest person ever and actually bought me some Chinese food and sat and talked to me as we both met; it was weird , it was almost like we were friends for years and I was just a fan. That was a moment of my life as a 17 year old that I’ll never forget, great player and a good person. Congrats to him for making the hall

This, without a doubt, was one of the best Hall of Fame speeches I’ve ever heard. And he didn’t write anything down either. Excellent job by Ray Allen! And what a beautiful family he has. Mr. Ray Allen you are blessed! Great job!

so many great player next to jordan speaks how jordans great..this show how a player really great

The way that he spoke about each one of his kids character and qualities was by far the highlight for me. The entire speech was pure class. Thanks for all the great memories Ray (aka Jesus Shuttleworth)!! 🎉

Great speech - Great man. RayRay Allen. Great job man.

What a speach! What really touched me was the way he talked about his family, his kids, and asking us to be examples for our children, the way he honored the people in the military and the people from the towns where he lived in. Inspiring!

Still my favorite of the Big Three in the Celtics era, one of my favorite players in general. Really mad they all couldn't get along after the trade
