GREATEST VILLAIN MOMENT
"Flagrant fouling Alex Caruso in a preseason game, breaking his wrist and sidelining him for two months. The unnecessary hard foul on a meaningless play exposed Allen's pattern of dirty play. Bulls fans called for a season-long suspension. What made it worse was the smirk caught on camera afterward - he looked pleased with himself. It confirmed every critic's view that he's a dirty player who enjoys hurting opponents."
THE DEFENSE
Allen plays hard-nosed defense in an era of soft basketball. His college tripping incidents were heat-of-the-moment mistakes as a young player. The Caruso foul was a common foul that unfortunately resulted in injury. He plays with intensity and emotion which sometimes crosses the line but isn't intentionally dirty. Every hard foul gets magnified because of his reputation.
