Uh oh. Talking ish about Tony Allen? In Chicago, no less? Not a good decision for his physical well-being.

Re: NBA Prospect Draws TA's ire
Didn't Thabeet say something along similar lines when people compared him to Mutombo? Then Hasheem proceeded to put his name in the same sentence as Olajuwon?
These young guys have no idea what they're in store for apparently. Good luck to the dude, but I hope he has a few humbling moments on his way to success.

In life, we have to fight thru hell in order to achieve the life we seek most.

There is, however, a difference between fighting through it and seeking it out with reckless abandon.
RE Hasheem - at least he compared himself to two guys that were retired.
This kid's in for it if he makes a roster. TA's aware LOL. Just ask OJ about piping up to Tony. Don't think he won't, at the least, teach the kid a friendly lesson when the time comes.

Trust me I know. The kid is in for a rude awakening the second he steps into the NBA world.

So glad that guy is gone. I have never been so mad at the Grizzlies for missing on talent in the draft. And I heard that he didn't even want to come to Memphis. You take Rubio with that pick. I don't care if he never comes over or turns out to be a bust. Can't be as bad as a guy with no basketball IQ at all.

Yeah I read that article regarding TA and Travis Leslie. Leslie probably is the better athlete, but he is no where near Tony as a basketball player. It is one of those who cares moments.

Travis is a good player, he should be honored that he got the Tony Allen Comparison!
Huge Tony Allen Fan!
