"In an era where athletes have become glorified hoopsters with marginal basketball savvy, where highlight reel dunks are fashionable, Peja Stojakovic and Ray Allen have almost become dinosaurs.

With so few players being able to shoot as well as Stojakovic and Allen, both can play well into their 40s if they feel so inclined.

The art of the jump shot has become a lost art in today's athletic, drive to the rim game.

Today's players aren't so much interested in running guys off screens than they are in posterizing a foe.

When all is said and done, both Stojakovic and Allen will go down as two of the greatest shooters the game of basketball has ever seen, two players who were drafted in the same year in a draft class that gets better with each passing year.

Stojakovic has a bit of Larry Bird in him with that patented high release, while Allen is similar to a Reggie Miller in his ability to use screens.

Whether it's a catch and shoot, off the dribble, as a trailer, each heave by Stojakovic and Allen is as close to clinical as today's game has to offer."
