I took it from wiki. So yeah it may be wrong.
I think he is saying your math is off because your comparison is only a .9% difference compared to a 2%.
Which is absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things.

Yeah, I was just pointing out the actual math of it and in the grand scheme of things 2% isn't a big deal however if one guy made 91 of 100 free throws and another made 89 i guess that 2% difference would matter depending on the significance of when the 2 were missed.

If the debate is about 3-point shooting, it is virtually a push. Allen's career 3-point % is 39.8%. Miller's career 3-point % is 39.5%.

I'm pretty sure september has been so completely wrong/looked retarded like 4 times in this thread.

As for the question, i'll take Reggie...he was THE guy to lead the Pacers, Ray Allen was always 2nd, 3rd, or even 4th option.

Reggie led the Pacers to the conference finals a few times, and got screwed out of the finals when Larry Johnson somehow got an and 1 on a 3 pointer after another 4 dribbles and 2 steps lol. Reggie also took the Lakers and Shaq/Kobe to 6 games. Reggie was a much MUCH more complete player than he is ever given credit for.

I'm not saying Reggie wasn't a great player, but I just think Ray Allen is better. Bill Simmons brought up an interesting point on his twitter. Does anyone else remember a couple years ago when the Celtics were trying to get Reggie out of retirement? Had he done it, he'd still have the 3 point record and would have a ring taking the place of Eddie House on that team.

Where was I wrong or looked like you? I picked Reggie Miller before anyone else did.

The 2% was Miller at 47% and Allen at 45% from the field, not three's. I already said they were both at 39% from three.

Why retarded? He's played in 300 less games than Reggie

Why retarded? It's 2% more than Ray Allen; 2%.
september63;673744 wrote:Its maybe a wash. Ill give Allen a nod for winning a championship.
Why retarded? Two reasons...you just got done saying Reggie is better, then you said maybe a wash lol also, how can it MAYBE be a wash? it's either a wash or it isn't. Second reason is saying Allen is a better 3 point shooter because he won a championship..just pure retardation.
