Sorry guyz, I'm not really a Sonics supporter, but I'm a HUUUGE Ray Allen fan, and it dissapoints me that he isn't developing. He's a great player with endless potential: The smoothest jump shot in the nba, and a potentially spectacular dunker. He is all that someone could want in an offensive player. I really just don't know why he isn't developing into the superstar that we all know he can be. He may be an all-star, but he is not compared to the likes of T-Mac and Kobe. Its a shame but he is still young. Theres much more time. Hope he become HUGE, and good luck to the sonics.
Potential? I'd say he's reached the end of his growth. The reason he's not a superstar is because he's not a leader and he can't drive to the basket as well as Kobe and Tracy do. That, and he's not getting much exposure in Seattle.

He's like late 20's/early 30's. You call THAT young? If that's young, is Kobe and T-Mac babies?
LOL...yeah, Ray just hit the peak of his career..i don't know, i think he'll never be that player...he's a good player (and i'm saying this not only because he's my favorite player) and a great shooter, but he'll never be a Kobe/Tmac...just like many other players that are all-star but under the radar.
As Casual said, he isn't enough of a leader, and unlike in the case of a McGrady, he doesn't have the game to make up for that. He is athletic and has a hell of a lot of natural ability, but he doesn't attack the basket enough, and leg injuries have slowed him down somewhat. A superstar, but not someone you'd want to build a team directly around.
