The greatest sixth man from each NBA team

Greatest sixth man in Miami Heat history: Ray Allen

After battling with LeBron James for Eastern Conference dominance for years, shooting guard Ray Allen did the seemingly unthinkable in 2012 — he joined LeBron on the Miami Heat. While this move cost him fans and friendships, it also brought Allen his second NBA title in 2013.

With Dwyane Wade starting in Miami it was a bench role Allen came into, and he played two seasons as such for the Heat. In his late thirties, Allen did not have a high usage or play exorbitant minutes, but rather averaged around 25 minutes per game and just around 10 points.

Where Allen made a difference was in spacing the floor, always a valuable trait when playing alongside James. He knocked in 1.7 per game over those two seasons on 39.8 percent shooting. It was a 3-point shot with the Heat that became the defining moment of his career.

Allen came off the bench for that and all but one of his 43 playoff games with the Heat. While he was limited in many ways as he neared the end of his career he was still able to fill a role off the bench and be exactly where the Heat needed for at least one key shot during his time there.
