In a recent interview that can be seen via SLAM, Kobe Bryant again gives praise to former Memphis Grizzlies wing defenseman Tony Allen.
When asked who the toughest defender he ever played against was, Bryant responds by saying “That’s easy. Tony Allen. He was the only one not crying for help.”
Kobe goes on to say that the reason he will always choose Allen as his top defender is that no matter what, he always stayed physical. Bryant added “he could score 10 points in a row and Tony Allen wouldn’t even blink.
