Grayson Allen: NBA's dirtiest player?

[Raps in 4]

theres two camps of questionable plays imo. theres guys who dont care about player safety like lowry , beverly, smart, isaiah stewart and those guys, and then theres guys that are flat out just going out of their way with the dirty stuff like jokic embiid giannis draymond and grayson. The stuff they are doing isnt even in the purpose of making plays.

Jokic and Giannis? Even Embiid doesn't injure players on purpose. He just flops around like a fish, and because he's 280 lbs, that injures the players he falls on.

Let's not act like Jokic and Giannis don't get mad and frustrated and start hitting and steamrolling players.

Lol and Giannis is the master of taking out players with his closeouts and rebounding position. If Giannis is around, a player's ankles are in jeopardy.

Joel learned playing like a shooting guard is rewarded more than playing like a 300 pounder, he falls on guys on purpose.


All 3 are dirty.

He grabbed Trent's dick the other night leading to a flagrant and a 7 point possession for the Raptors.

What !!!!

[Hoop Heavy]

He **** up and brushed his midsection which was bogusly called a flagrant, he wasn’t trying to”grab his dick” you weirdos. A foul, thats it. Refs did a lot of funny **** that game trying to extend it, apparently you can full on push guys out of bounds too.

Intentional contact to the genitals is a flagrant foul ... as you ma know it doesn't need to be hard to be effective ... Gary folded like a pretzel mid-follow-through ... are you suggesting he "flipped"? (like flopped but jumping up like that rather than falling down)

[LuDux1]

Trent was just ordinary foul

For those that haven't seen it, here is the play in question

Everything looks dirtier in slowmo. If you watch entire episode from different angle, you will see that Trent wasn't angel either

Anything short of castration would be a serious crime against humanity. I’m being 100% serious, dude shouldn’t be in the league and should be behind bars…

[FeatheryTouch]

Allen probably isn't the dirtiest, but he's been involved with too many incidents to write it off as a mere coincidence. He's the unlikable annoying version of the "scrappy small white dude", it's like he's Alex Caruso's evil twin.

His style of dirty reminds me a little of the weasel-like Danny Ainge back in the 80s, although Ainge was better than Grayson and legitimately pretty tough.

And yes having the most punchable face in the league doesn't help.

IMO Draymond(as much as I love him) and Chris Paul are just as dirty or worse, but are also better players of course.

edit: much love for the Hot Shots clip, I haven't seen that movie in 30 years...

[jc23]

outside of his incident with Caruso i dont think any of his antics have caused injury. But this play right here is the type of dirty Allen brings to your team...

Read on Twitter

He likes to add that little bit extra to it.

Caruso still is having issues with his wrist btw.

[VinBaker6]

People are prejudiced against Grayson and dogpile, most of his “flagrants” are just fake tough guys jumping up upon seeing who fouled them and saying NOT TODAY. Apparently refs go for that kind of posturing, I wish these dumbasses would just fight. Think about the guys KG would mess with, that’s the type of dude Grayson is. Some goon like Thanasis who will fight you in the parking lot, guys are way more quiet about hid dumb reckless plays. Really makes you think.

DeRozan flopped, Trent was just ordinary foul, cry more. Probably just close this up now.

I agree, Grayson has a great reputation with not being a dirty player!

[bradybunch]

Oh please lol.

The media once again proving they own people.

Taking playing under a microscope to a whole new level. Wow.

Oh wow, his foot moved a whole half a foot.

Dude would have been right at home with the Bad Boy Pistons with this sort of maliciousness. This is truly one of the worst things I've ever seen on an NBA floor.

[VFX]

I love watching people cry in these threads 3x a season. League is soft af now.

There are other dirty players. Grayson just gets multiple threads.

theres two camps of questionable plays imo. theres guys who dont care about player safety like lowry , beverly, smart, isaiah stewart and those guys, and then theres guys that are flat out just going out of their way with the dirty stuff like jokic embiid giannis draymond and grayson. The stuff they are doing isnt even in the purpose of making plays.

Was this sarcasm?

Obviously. Listing Giannis, Jokic and Embiid with Allen is a joke. But, the poster is a Raptors fan. Consider the source.

(sincere apologies to rational Raptors fans on the GB - of which there are many)

[bebopdeluxe]

Yea he's had the reputation since college and probably before. Giannis is a little dirty too tbh

I don't think Giannis is dirty. He plays like a bull in a china shop sometimes, but I don't think that is "dirty".

Exhibit A of a rational Raptors fan. Respect.

It wasn't even a foul. It was all ball.

[sashaturiaf]

Id say his team mate Giannis is dirtier, but Grayson Allen doesn't tell dad jokes at press conferences so he takes the fall.

[QingJames]

Giannis is absolutely a reckless player and his closeouts are often very dangerous for the shooter.

Watch on YouTube

He WILL Zaza someone someday. Refs need to reign in this behaviour.

He already zaza'd Kyrie and won his team a title. If that's not a zaza I don't know what is.
