Does Tony Allen being horrible on offense make him more or less likely to trash talk the good offensive player James Harden after scoring on him? Does Tony Allen being excellent on defense make him more or less likely to trash talk the bad defensive player James Harden after scoring on him? “God-damn wrecked you…

At the end of last season, when the Grizzlies were so devastated by injuries that they had to give large amounts of rotation minutes to made-up players like Briante Weber and Xavier Munford (try telling me with a straight face that those players really exist…you can’t), Tony Allen put up multiple games scoring in the…

He’s also known for showing off after the play was over with the Celtics, taking himself out of the playoffs with an MCL and ACL combo-injury sustained while dunking. An unfortunate event.
