In an interview with Slam Magazine's Abe Schwadron, Allen put Curry's excellence into context when asked where he feels Curry rates among the top shooters in league history: Based on what he's done, I believe he has to be—on he's his way to being the greatest of all time. It's always debatable depending on who's telling the tale. But based on what we know now, there's no question about it: Stephen Curry is one of the greatest shooters ever. The interview was conducted before last season began and so many things could have changed by now. But even so, it's still interesting to hear what one of the greatest shooters of all time thinks of a young player who seems poised to take over the game. As for Allen himself, he's still going strong after 21 seasons in the NBA. He currently plays with the Miami Heat and is expected to join them for their annual summer tournament, the "NBA Finals/Conference Championships," which this year will be held in China. The finals are called "the best of seven." Here's how Allen described his friend and teammate Shaquille O'Neal: He's a great player and a great person. It's not easy being the biggest guy on the court every night. You have to be able to handle that pressure or you won't get anywhere in basketball or in life.
