Dele Alli and Eric Dier are best friends and, as such, dedicate a high proportion of their lives to trolling each other, leaking embarrassing photos on social media and generally going tit for tat.
To that end, the Tottenham duo enjoyed a nice friendly game of backyard basketball recently -- a game that quickly became a tad over-competitive as Alli took charge out on the court.

While his sportsmanship left a lot to be desired, Alli's skills were impressive enough to grab the attention of the NBA, who complimented the Spurs forward on his defensive chops.
