Walter Ray Allen Jr. (born July 20, 1975) is an American former professional basketball player who played 18 seasons in the National Basketball Association (NBA). After playing three seasons of college basketball for Connecticut, Allen entered the NBA in 1996 and went on to play for the Milwaukee Bucks, Seattle SuperSonics, Boston Celtics and Miami Heat. One of the most accurate three-point and free throw shooters in NBA history, he was a ten-time NBA All-Star, and won two NBA championships (2008, 2013) with the Celtics and Heat respectively. He also won an Olympic gold medal as a member of the 2000 United States men's basketball team. Allen is the NBA's all-time leader in career three-point field goals made in both the regular and postseason. He has acted in two films, one of which was a lead role in the 1998 Spike Lee film, He Got Game.

The third of five children, Allen was born at Castle Air Force Base near Merced, California, the son of Walter Sr. and Flora Allen. A military child, he spent time growing up in Saxmundham in England, Altus in Oklahoma, Edwards Air Force Base in California, and Germany. After years of traveling and constant moving, he moved to Dalzell, South Carolina where he would attend high school for the next four years. When he first arrived, he was always the odd man out that kids often picked on for his formative language that he used due to his elementary years in Britain. While he never completely fit in with the other kids, his natural athletic gift and obsession with hard work allowed him to excel in every sport he played. After a growth spurt gave him an advantage in basketball, he decided to dedicate all his time to become the best basketball player he could be. Fueled by becoming the best basketball player on the military base where he lived, Allen practiced at length everyday as long as it didn't interfere with his studies. By the age of fifteen, he was playing for Hillcrest High School's varsity team and would eventually lead them to their first state championship game. In that game, Allen would show his NBA potential by posting an impressive 25 points to go along with 12 rebounds in a blowout victory for Hillcrest Wildcats. With a lot of college attention, especially from the University of Kentucky, Allen would ultimately decide to go to the University of Connecticut.
