Amazing player. He should encourage casual fans with his great defense that ppg isn't all to basketball.

He's all over KD. This is over. No matter how many points KD score this playoff, the mental breakdown of KD this season will go down worse than bran's 2011 final loss.

Not of putbacks tho. If he had been less of a ***** he would have got it right when he stole it cuz Zbo cleared them out.

Remember 08. Lebron went 2/18, 10 turnovers against the Celtics with Allen. That showed how good Kobe was .

[imnew09]

he also scored 45 more than kobe ever did against the celtics

And not forget the reason he left Cleveland was because the Peak Big 3 Celtics made him a btch

[KrizMiz]

Best playern on the grizz

For the series, but certainly not the season. The difference between Griz with and without Marc Gasol shows who the real heart and soul of the team is.

Serious question: Is Tony Allen the greatest guard defender of alltime???

There are many small forward and up players that are more elite when it comes to defense (GOAT defender to me is Rodman). There are only a handful of great guard defenders. Payton, Jordan, Dumars, Kidd, etc... Ever since the celtic days I thought Allen was one of the leagues best defenders.

The man can lock up players from 1-3 and is the leagues best defender against durant which is ridiculous due to the fact that Durant has about 5 inches on the guy. He can get through screens better than any player and seems to anticipate what the player wants to do better than any other player
