Tony Allen is one of the best defensive players in the NBA, and he is not at all shy about letting everyone know it. Even when he’s in the middle of playing a game.
Allen played some lock-down defense on Warriors sharpshooter Klay Thompson during Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals Tuesday, forcing the guard into several turnovers. The best part wasn’t Allen’s techniques to get the steals, but rather the crap he talked after forcing them.
Allen was mic’d up for TNT’s “Inside Trax” and we got to hear his taunt.
“First team all-defense,” he repeatedly chanted after getting steals.
