Ray Allen was renowned for his three-point shooting accuracy in his basketball playing career and remained the most successful shooter from downtown in NBA history.

However, when it came to fatherhood, Allen did one better and is a proud father of four boys who all resemble him in more ways than one.

Allen is a great father to his four sons and does his best to be there for them at all times. However, sometimes, that may not just be possible. A case in point was when Ray's team was playing in the NBA Championships finals.

The doctor explained to Shannon that her son's blood sugar was poisoning him to death.

His son, Walker was 17 months at that time and became very sick during the finals. Shannon stepped in as her husband was absent, taking Walker to the hospital where tests revealed that his blood sugar level was 639.

The doctor explained to Shannon that her son's blood sugar was poisoning him to death. Shannon was able to get insulin in time for her son who recovered three days after, just in time to celebrate his father's victory at the NBA Championship.
