Grayson Allen: NBA's dirtiest player?

[DarkXaero]

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.

Media and fans' darling though, so you're not allowed to talk negatively about him.

Definitely First Team All Dirty

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.

Scrubs like Grayson would get clothesline back in the day for their dirty conduct. Too bad players cannot retaliate nowadays. Soft ineed.

You call Grayson dirty but probably loved Killian punching a dude in the back of the head by the sound of it.

One dirty play deserves another. What goes around, comes around.

Nope. You just don't want these dirty players getting back what they dish out. Why are you protecting these scum plays that cause potential injuries?

Protecting? Lol.

You are OK with dirty plays as long as it fits your context. Just say you’re a hypocrite and move on.

The context is simple. An eye for an eye.

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".

No, he just swing his elbows and shoulders everytime he attacks the rim. Oh and he also injured Kyrie in that series

[Memories]

Ted Cruz would be proud of his son.

Kyrie injured himself by jumping backwards to his left and seeking out contact. If you don't want contact, maybe not try to initiate it.

He didn't you're just bias. Kyrie rarely seeks contact on offense or flops, unlike Giannis swinging elbows. And kyrie def doesn't cry to the refs

Go ahead and watch the play, his right foot is on the right side of the restricted area, his right foot lands back and to the left closer to the middle top of the restricted area. He leans the opposite way his body is moving and braces for a hit from Jrue that never comes because Jrue ducks it. This stuff is plain as day, and I'm the one that's biased? Nope.

Wait how is that play seeking contact?? Simple up & down.

A) What do you think he's trying to accomplish jumping backwards? He ain't protecting the ball by bringing the ball closer to the defender I'll tell you that. His momentum was carrying him to the right, but he jumps left?
B) The rest of his body language SCREAMS bracing for contact. He leans back off balance, he winces, hell, his mouth even opens to audibly accentuate the contact with a yell before he is even touched. This is creating contact and drawing a foul 101 here. There isn't another reasonable conclusion.
C) Again, not a simple up and down, as I've already laid out. His feet start where they start and land where they land.

lol leave it to them to tell it, they will argue this to the end. Kyrie jumps straight up and Giannis comes and slides his feet under his landing. If he can't see that then there's no reason to keep discussing.

A & C) Kyrie did not jump left. He jumped straight up for the easiest shot since he's pretty open. Looking at his right foot is misleading since its outstretched to the right. He merely gathered and jump up.

B) no comments.

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...

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.

He likes to add that little bit extra to it.

Caruso still is having issues with his wrist btw.

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

C'mon now, you both know that was not a natural movement (unless you a honky tonk dancer) and his intention was to trip Rose because he got burnt. Nobody is saying he belongs on the bad boys Pistons, thats silly talk. Its fine to call it like it is, he isnt as dirty as some make him out to be but he knows exactly what he is doing, there obvious intent.

And there are plenty more examples btw.

Like when he flopped into Derozen a few weeks back, he added a bit more to the play by falling with forearm into derozens back; who then also flopped btw lol. So its usually these small cheap shots, hey thats a better decription of the guy, he is a cheap shot artist! not dirty. Exception being the Caruso incident where that was a dirty play due to the player being in the air.

Watch on YouTube

Bulls announcers were silly here as well. But Allen's history now walks ahead of him everytime he enters the UC.

There was a bit of weirdness there, but who knows why. Maybe he wanted to step in and changed his mind. Maybe he clipped his own foot. Judging intent is basically impossible. It's just a reflection of your own beliefs and biases.
