Since joining the Grizzlies, he’s quietly become the heartbeat of the second unit, setting hard screens, crashing the glass, contesting shots, and keeping the offense organized when things get sloppy.

His job is to bring energy, defend like his next contract depends on it, and do every little thing that winning teams need but don’t

You can’t talk about Memphis basketball without talking about Tony Allen. He wasn’t the flashiest, and he didn’t care to be. What he did care about was defense, pride, and earning everything he got.
