As teased earlier, Ray Allen had a chance to make history tonight as the Celtics took on the visiting rival Lakers in front of the hometown crowd in Boston. Allen, already the owner of a variety of NBA shooting records started the game only one bucket behind Reggie Miller for the most 3-point field goals made in league history. You don’t get to that pinnacle by having many night’s where your shot is off, and tonight was definitely no exception. Sugar Ray wasted no time, knocking down an early three in the first quarter to tie the record and quickly followed up with another at the 1:48 mark to claim it all for himself. After getting back on defense, as soon as there was a break in the action, Ray went over to pay his respects to a gracious Reggie Miller, sitting courtside and even got some fistbump love from the Black Mamba.
As impressive as Ray’s accomplishment was, we can’t help but to wonder, ‘Is it the shoes?’ The longtime Jordan Team athlete has been rocking Air Jordans on the NBA floor since his rookie year in 1996, and while MJ was never really known as a 3-point specialist, we have to think that wearing his shoes couldn’t have hurt. To help commemorate the special occasion in the making, tonight Ray broke out a fresh white/green Air Jordan XIII PE featuring his name stitched onto the tongue. The shoe is not expected to release, but maybe Jordan will feel the overwhelming need to celebrate the milestone with a nice quickstrike PE drop. Not likely, but you know we’ll keep you posted, so stick with Sneaker News and check out some more pics and videos after the jump.

February 11th, 2011 at 1:28 am
He was warming up for this game at the shoot-around with a Bin Premio IX on the left foot and gold/green PE XI on the right foot.
February 11th, 2011 at 1:32 am

February 11th, 2011 at 1:32 am

February 11th, 2011 at 1:40 am
Ray was scheduled to rock his special XI's but how poetic was it for him to rock the same jordans featured in 'He Got Game'…and then for them to have "It Is Written" on them….straight fire!
February 11th, 2011 at 1:43 am
That's a nasty PE
February 11th, 2011 at 1:54 am
Yeah! Great feature Sneakernews. Congrats to Mr. Ray Allen aka Jesus Shuttlesworth. I love the 13's so it was a good choice in my opinion.
He kind of looks like Rocky Balboa in the 3rd picture lol.
February 11th, 2011 at 2:00 am

Happy to see Ray reach this achievement. Even happier that the Lakers won.
February 11th, 2011 at 6:01 am
There can only be one Ray Allen.
February 11th, 2011 at 7:06 am
Congrats to Mr. Allen. I saw that game. It was cool how he gave props to Reggie Millier would held the record since ’98. Nice kicks too.
February 11th, 2011 at 7:19 am
these came out great. plus they look better than them p.e. 11 he wore
February 11th, 2011 at 8:04 am
Not sure if those were on Ray's 13s but his mom got a custom pair of jordans. I believe her's might have that Egyptian thing. I did hear Craig mention something about jordan making speical sneakers for the record breaking night.
February 11th, 2011 at 8:24 am

February 11th, 2011 at 10:08 am

Sick!
February 11th, 2011 at 11:56 am
Whatever he plays for Boston imma true die hard laker fan can't and won't have any love for someone who plays in green
February 11th, 2011 at 12:12 pm
He came in the league wearing XIII's so he broke the record in XIII's any way those PE are sick!
February 11th, 2011 at 4:03 pm
see that/ that's sneaker history right there. he came in wearing the 13's and he made history wearing the 13's. its a good move. I am gonna BET that after all the news reports and the sports news reports that go down, they won't mention this tidbit.
What a week for basketball AND for sneaker lovers who respect and acknowledge footwear history.
February 11th, 2011 at 5:19 pm
Sick colorway for the AJ XIII's! History in the making!
February 11th, 2011 at 7:03 pm
