2013 NBA Finals: Ray Allen Dismisses Comparison To Danny Green; Believes Guard’s Shooting Success Only Product of Spurs Ball Movement

Danny Green's smoking hot shooting from the three-point line continued on Sunday as he knocked down six treys to help the San Antonio take a 3-2 series edge over the Mimi Heat in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.

Green, who's virtually unknown before the series, suddenly becomes one of the most-talked about players in the NBA finals series, thanks to his gift of putting the ball into the hoop from 24-feet out.

Speaking of treys, Green has become part of NBA Finals history after setting a new record for most treys made in a championship series. Green's 25 three-point shots shattered the previous record of Miami Heat shooting guard and NBA legend Ray Allen, who drained 22 treys while playing with the Boston Celtics in the 2008 NBA Finals.

Green's unexpected NBA finals appearance has caught the attention of a number of basketball analysts and even the Heat players, who have yet to find a way to contain the Spurs gunner.

Allen had a solid outing offensively with 21 points on Sunday, but the 37-year old just could not do his assignments on the defensive end, particularly in containing Green.

Considered as the best pure shooter who has ever played the game, Allen believes Green's success is not pure talent, but rather a product of good system employed by Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich.

"We did a bad job in helping each other. His team put him in great situations. They're trying to figure out where we're the probably the weakest defensively. They put him in those situations where they test our ability to rotate," Allen said during the post-game press conference.

When asked if guarding Green feels like guarding himself, Allen said he doesn't think so.  

"Not really because he's more stationary. With me, I've always moved a lot more. With him, we know where he is but it's just a matter of us helping each other stop him defensively," he said.

Green, who's shooting a staggering 65.8 percent from downtown in the NBA Finals, has a chance to add more buckets to his record when San Antonio looks to close out the series in Game 6 on Tuesday at American Airlines Arena.
