The Better Halves Of The NBA's Biggest Stars

Ray Allen and Shannon Walker Williams

Ray Allen, a true legend of basketball, carved out an incredible 18-season career in the NBA, earning his spot in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in September 2018. Known for his lethal shooting skills, Allen was the fifth overall pick by the Milwaukee Bucks in the 1996 NBA Draft. He later became a key player for championship-winning teams like the Boston Celtics and the Miami Heat

Did you know his clutch three-pointer in Game 6 of the 2013 NBA Finals is still talked about as one of the greatest shots in history? Off the court, Allen’s life is just as fascinating. He met his wife, Shannon Walker Williams, the same year he entered the NBA. Shannon, a former member of the music group the Shades, transitioned into acting in the early 2000s, starring in the film *Girlfight*. Today, she’s a proud mother of four and runs her own restaurant in Miami, adding to the family’s impressive legacy. With such a dynamic career and personal life, Ray Allen continues to inspire both on and off the court.
