Swiss Army knife vs Samurai Sword?

I want to argue and I don’t agree, but it’s too good a line…

millers the best ever shootin the three
and comon people here are complaining that some votes reggie got was because hes a better clutch player
well since they both shoot around the same percentage
why not tie brake with clutch shootin or who makes the toughest shots or who has the FU attitude which is all reggie
reggie is the best
“With Ray it’s a Swiss Army knife. With Reggie it’s a samaria sword”

The best man won. They both use the “3″ as a weapon. With Ray it’s a Swiss Army knife. With Reggie it’s a samaria sword, but it’s all good.

I guess maybe its the fact that until this year, Ray really didnt go deep into the playoffs and he did do his thing against the lakeshow, but he was in a serious slump until then and he’s never eally been on tv, so thaty sort changes things. I will say when he’s on it’s lights out… But Reggie was the villian, a love to hate player, you either loved him or you hated him, Ray doesn’t have that going for him.

I hear you Drink…Haterade:

Reggie was the ultimate offensive villain, but I’ve seen Ray play the same role. I don’t know where you get Ray Allen is a choke artist from though. He just didn’t carve up a team that get as much undue hype as the Knicks and he didn’t play in the Jordan Era of clutch. Ray has his share of game winners and back breakers… Reggie was a demon, but his level of competition made him a demigod. You crush the Knicks (Reggie, Jordan and Crew) or if you are an Average player who plays for the Knicks your legacy is enhanced for reasons that have no statistical merit (Starks, Oakley, Herb Williams, Alan Houston, etc)

Point is Ray lights LA up in finals, plays respectable defense on Kobe, hits to the tune of 52% of his 3s, and hits multiple game breaking and winning buckets…yet people can still say this ‘Champion’ doesn’t deliver in the clutch?? Just doesn’t make sense…

You should set this up next time as an actual poll instead of tallying up people’s responses and giving them multiple options to vote for the same guy (as I’m sure was the case here, for both Ray and Reggie). This is 2008, it ain’t that hard to design a poll……

And yes, I had Ray winning this one, hands-down. Clutch ain’t everything……

Good contest. I would’ve liked to see Ray win, but I figured that there were more Reggie fans out there than Ray fans.

I guess to the guys that thought that clutch shooting was what put Reggie over the edge, I would just say that if Ray hits 2 threes in the first half, and Reggie hits the one in the clutch, Ray is still a better THREE POINT SHOOTER than Reggie.

Fortunately, I like both of these players, so no big deal…
