Nets' Jarrett Allen gets rare block on dunk attempt by LeBron James

NEW YORK -- When Brooklyn Nets center Jarrett Allen decided to contest a dunk attempt by LeBron James on Tuesday, he knew he'd end up on social media.

"If you go up and you block it, you're going to be on the highlight. You get dunked on, you're going to be on the highlight. So just go up and protect the rim," Allen said.
