His professionalism fit. He helped guys get better.”
While Allen did struggle to adjust to his new role, he admits that the shot that tied Game 6 of the NBA finals may have been the biggest moment of his illustrious career.
“There were so many moments that allowed that shot to happen,” Allen said. “I have to say that was the greatest shot I ever hit in my career.”
While there has been no indication of whether Allen will return, he did show that he enjoyed his time as a member of the Heat, even from the beginning.
“When I got here the first two weeks, it felt like I’ve been here for two or three years.”
“That’s the kind of brotherhood we have on this team, on and off the court.”
