After watching Allen torch New Jersey for 16 points Wednesday, including a
game-tying three-pointer late in the fourth quarter, you have to wonder: How
long can the 33-year-old play at this high a level?
"I don't think he's going to lose his shot any time soon," Rivers said. "And
as long as you can shoot in our league, you can probably play in our league
for a long time."
Allen says several variables -- the state of the Celtics and his family, to
name a couple -- will determine how long he is going to play. A Western
Conference GM, citing Allen's age and recent ankle surgeries, said that Allen
will probably only command a three-year deal worth between $25-30 million
when he becomes a free agent in 2010. But Rivers says there is one overriding
reason why Allen can "probably play as long as he wants to."
"When he gets to 50, if you put Ray Allen behind the three, would you guard
him?" Rivers asked. "You sure would."
