College career
Allen attended the University of Connecticut from 1993 to 1996, where he
earned All-American status and was named USA Basketball's Male Athlete of the
Year in 1995. In 1995-96, his final college season, Allen was a first-team
All-American and won the Big East Player of the Year award. Allen finished
his UConn career third on the Huskies' career scoring list with 1,922 points
and set a single-season school record by connecting on 115 three-pointers in
1995-96.
In 2001, he was named honorary captain of the 25-member UConn All-Century
Basketball Team. On February 5, 2007, his name and number were honored at
Connecticut's Gampel Pavilion during the "Huskies of Honor" ceremony at
halftime of the men's basketball game against the Syracuse Orange.
NBA career
Allen was drafted out of the University of Connecticut by the Minnesota
Timberwolves with the fifth pick of the 1996 NBA Draft. Immediately after his
selection, Allen and Andrew Lang were traded to the Milwaukee Bucks for the
rights to fourth pick Stephon Marbury. Allen was a member of the NBA's
All-Rookie 2nd Team in 1996. His most successful season with the Bucks
occurred during the 2000-01 season as he won the 3-point shootout during
All-Star Weekend and led the Bucks to the Eastern Conference Finals, where
they lost to the Philadelphia 76ers.
Allen remained with the Bucks midway through the 2002-03 season, when he was
dealt to the Sonics, along with Kevin Ollie, Ronald Murray and a conditional
first round draft pick, in exchange for Gary Payton and Desmond Mason. After
an injury-riddled 2003-04 season season, he was named to the All-NBA 2nd Team
and, alongside teammate Rashard Lewis, led the Sonics to the Conference
Semifinals in 2005. After the 2004-05 season season, Allen signed a 5-year,
$80 million contract extension. In the 2005-06 regular season, he averaged a
career-high 25.1 points per game while adding 4.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists
per game.
Records
During his Seattle tenure, Allen achieved many individual accomplishments. On
March 12, 2006, Allen became the 97th player in NBA history to score 15,000
points. On April 7, 2006, Allen moved into second place on the NBA's list of
all-time 3-point field goals made, trailing only Reggie Miller. On April 19,
2006, Allen broke Dennis Scott's ten-year-old NBA record for 3-point field
goals made in a season against the Denver Nuggets.
On January 12, 2007, Allen scored a career-high 54 points against the Utah
Jazz in a 122-114 overtime win, the second most in Sonics history. Shortly
after, he had ankle surgery on both ankles and missed the remainder of the
2006-07 season.
Boston Celtics
On June 28, 2007, Allen and the 35th overall pick in the 2007 NBA Draft, Glen
Davis, were traded to the Boston Celtics in exchange for Delonte West, Wally
Szczerbiak and the 5th overall pick, Jeff Green.
On November 4, 2007, Allen passed 17,000 points for his career with his first
of two 3-pointers in overtime in a 98-95 victory against the Toronto Raptors,
in which he sank the game winning 3-pointer with three seconds remaining in
overtime.[4]
On February 13, 2008, Allen was named by NBA Commissioner David Stern to
replace injured East All-Star Caron Butler of the Washington Wizards, who was
out with a left hip flexor strain, for the 2008 NBA All-Star Game in New
Orleans. The All-Star MVP Award was controversially given to LeBron James,
although many, including the TNT commentators of the game, believed it should
have gone to Allen, whose explosion of 14 points in a stretch of 3 minutes
and 14 seconds in the fourth quarter sealed the win for the Eastern
Conference.
