Ray Allen has been in the spotlight of late. When talking to a few teenagers about who the GOAT is, Allen just seems to disregard LeBron from the conversation. He asked the young fan if LeBron was a great free throw shooter or a great three-point shooter or a great dribbler. Even though LeBron is a heck of a player, there are a few areas where some players might outshine him.

Allen said that if he’s not great at these three things, how can you consider him as the GOAT? And he just seemed to walk away after that.

You know my response to that? Okay cool.”

The Jordan family package was in reference to the gift Allen got from Jordan. It contained the best shoes from all the teams Ray Allen played for and Perk said that is why he threw some shade on LeBron.
