SPRINGFIELD, Mass. -- Former Detroit Pistons forward Grant Hill thinks his Hall of Fame classmate Ray Allen is being undersold if he's only remembered as a 3-point shooter.
"I remember Milwaukee Ray," Hill said, recalling Allen's first stop in the league. "He was one of the greatest shooters of all time, but Ray would dunk on you. He would drive to the basket. I don't think of him as (just) a shooter."
A two-time NBA champion who predated -- and set the stage for -- the current proliferation of long-distance shooting, Allen will be inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame on Friday night along with three of the league's best point guards and a half-dozen other stars from eras before the 3-pointer came to dominate the game.
