The Record is Dead, Long Live the Record!
It’s official, super-fans. Ray Allen is the All-Time NBA 3-Point Record Holder, and the record has as almost as much endurance as Ray himself. The closest active NBA player to Ray’s record is Jason Kidd, a guaranteed hall-of-famer who is nearly 1,000 trifectas short of the record himself. Yes, records are meant to be broken, but this one is sure to last a while.
We at RayAllen20.com aren’t the only ones celebrating Ray’s 3-point Crowning. Leading up to the record there has been plenty of press and fanfare, so we’ve collected some of the highlights of that coverage before and since the record was broken:
Check back soon for even more pomp, and if you just gotta congratulate Ray (Go ahead it’ll make you feel better) leave a comment below.

3-point king..!
will you marry me?
You’re the reason why a girl from Seattle, WA watches the NBA and has become an avid fan of the game. The stories I tell my friends about you, and I haven’t even met you in real life. Keep doing your thing Ray, keep striving and keep inspiring š Congrats #Rayfor3

SUGAR RAY
Let’s start with the special news of the day,
From Reggie’s record Ray’s no longer away.
He went over to Reggie, an announcer tonight,
Gave each other hugs- what a beautiful sight.
Just in case the great moment you missed,
Rajon Rondo got the assist.
A sweet thing after the shot they did show,
“That’s my baby,” said a very proud Flo.
In Q2 the Celtics showed lots of spunk,
Wafer with a block, Ray with a dunk!
Then the Lakers went on a 10-0 run
Only three attempts in the half, Kobe made one.
Q3 the Lakers came alive indeed,
And started getting the aggressive offense they need.
Last game Gasol’s elbow hit Garnett’s head,
Tonight his jaw hit Odom instead.
Q4 KG tried to encourage the crowd,
After the Lakers run, they stopped being loud.
There were foul troubles for the Cs and injuries galore,
We hardly had a full team to put on the floor.
After all the excitement of the record for Ray,
The Celtics in this game just could not stay.
A big win for the Lakers, we are tied for the season,
Like Doc, we’ll make no excuses or try to give a reason.
Just for a moment I have digressed,
Those “Where Amazing Happens” ads are the best.
A surprise commercial that was really nice,
We saw the cool guy advertising Old Spice.
Now to end these poems it must be said,
Of Reggie Ray is now 2 ahead.
I GUESS WE WERE MORE EXCITED THAN YOU WERE LOL ENJOY YOUR ONE MOMENT IN TIME, AND KEEP SHOOTING TREYS >>> KEEP BREAKING YOUR OWN RECORD!!! š

Congrats Ray. You are as classy as your game. Your legend will live as long as your record will stand a long time. May your release stay quick, your aim stay true and play as long as it feels right to you.
I am so proud of you Ray. You have shown incredible focus and professionalism through your hard work and character. Since you began in the NBA I have watched you as you touched the lives of others with your beautiful spirit and kindness. Your talent is unmatched on the court as well as your acting as an athlete. The other person that I’m assuming is owed some recognition is your mother, because the strong and intelligent person that you have made out of yourself has to have had some wonderful and positive support.
I wish I could have been there to witness this incredible night as a true fan of yours, but I’m in Chicago and I can’t imagine anyone in Boston would have sold a ticket to that game. I wonder what it felt like being honored on the court at halftime? It gave me the chills with the stadium’s cheers and the announcer screaming your name.
To the best shooting form and Congratulations Walter Ray Allen!
awesome! loved every moment of it…congrats!!!
Congratulations, Ray! I’m so glad I was there last night! I can say that I fistbumped both Ray and Reggie on the night that the record was broken! Thank you
