Damn how old is Ray?

he's 35

Been watching Ray Allen since the day he got drafted, always was my favorite underrated player.

Ray-Ray still one of my fav active nba players. Dude is a genuine good person& a great player. I agree he cant dunk or defend as good as he did in his 20's but hes still a really good player with the c's.

I remember when celtics fans wanted ray traded after the 09 reg. season....smfh

Heavy seated and standing calf raises and hit the stair master but the major tip is when you "step" place your foot so your toes are the only part on the step, no more than that and contract your calf really tight at the top of each step you take. Stretch em out before through or your gonna get a crippling cramp
