The “Grindfather,” Tony Allen, spent seven mesmerizing seasons with the Memphis Grizzlies from 2010 through 2017. During this span, the wing established himself as one of the most menacing defensive talents in the association, earning three All-Defensive First Team and three All-Defensive Second Team honors along the way.
With these accolades, it goes without saying that Allen is one of the greatest Grizzlies players to grace the less glamorous side of the floor.
However, recently, fans have gone on to boast about his defensive efforts in an all-time high regard, as they nominated his name in the Twitter conversation about which one player in NBA history could successfully guard Michael Jordan in isolation.
