Reggie Miller vs. Ray Allen

[Snoop_Cat]

So with Ray Allen closing in on Reggie and with often times people comparing the two, I decided to bring up a thread both in anticipation of the record being broken and comparisons between the two.

Things like "who was the better defender", "better pure shooter", "better clutch", etc., etc.

Discuss.

Reggie Miller's notoriety is thanks to his clutch performances. Ray Allen has not had many notable clutch performances as cold-blooded Miller.

[Sarcastic]

Reggie was the better defender. They were about equal as pure shooters, but Ray would have the edge in aesthetics, and Reggie again has the edge in clutch.

Better Defender: Miller

Better Pure Shooter: Allen

Better Clutch Player: Miller

[AirJordan23]

Ray Allen by a good margin.

Ray as a whole is better than Reggie. When Ray was younger Ray could create his own shoot, drive to the basket and finish with some of the best in the league at the time and still shoot as one of the better shooters in the league.

Also Ray has monster games in the playoff including games against Philly and Sacramento that no one remembers where he single-handely won games for his team when did reggie do all that plus play great defense on arguably the best player in the league. Reggie just mostly hit jumpers that was it.

You can tell those who never watched Reggie, or don't know much about his track record. And those are the ones that pick him as the better player over Ray Allen.

Ray Allen was/is clutcher and a better player.

Better Defender: Miller

Better Pure Shooter: Allen

Better Clutch Player: Miller

This

But even as pure shooter reggie has a argument as top man. Allen is arguably a better defender too though

Give me Ray Allen over Reggie Miller. Some people here wouldn't even know who Reggie Miller is if it wasn't for the Knicks.

[tpols]

ray allen was the better overall player but reggie was easily the more clutch of the two.

[plowking]

Can someone name me all the series that Reggie won with his clutch play?

[TheLogo]

I would have to agree that Allen is better than Miller.

Reggie was overrated because of the highlights you see.

Boom.

Not that they wouldn't know who he is, but there wouldn't be this BS notion that he was the man when it came down to needing a player to pull you through.

Reggie Miller was better in the clutch.

Three point shooting is debatable (Allen has a slight edge, statistically), whereas Reggie had a better midrange shot/game, imo.
Pure shooter is debatable, though I am leaning towards Ray.

But Ray allen is the better overall player. Especially in his prime (Milwaulkee/early Seattle days).

Ray Allen is a better ballhandler, equal if not better defender, better at getting to the rim, and is a better passer.
