Can you imagine this nikka in todays nba? Klay thompson's shot with athleticism and the ability to playmake? I legit think he probably would have had a few "steph" seasons...im talking 27-30ppg on 50/40/90 splits. Ray Ray's game would translate unbelievably today

For us younger fellas, how quick did Ray’s athleticism leave him? Doesn’t seem like he was an athletic monster for very long

It did not leave him that quick. Once with the Celtics he took a backseat to Pierce and Garnett and became a spot up shooter. They ran plays for him where he did not have the ball in his hands and was mostly used as a decoy which is why he was unhappy in the end. Sometime during the Celtics years the althletiism has left him but nobody noticed when.

I believe Ray is one of those rare instances of a superstar who would have had an overall better career in the publics eye, had he stayed the go to guy and never won a ship, rather than winning a championship as a part of a big 3.

Great player, but he is extremely overrated on this board. Not in general, just on here :yeshrug:

What’s overrated about him? That nikka is underrated if anything. Because he played in the era of the shooting guard he never gets the credit for the type of beast he really was.

Like I say it’s a damn shame he was born a generation too early..cause he would be a top 5 player in the league with that skillset. No doubt
