Sounds like he nailed it. I'll admit he's not the first Duke player I couldn't stand to watch, but he's probably the first one I disliked because of his dirty play more than the fact he was so good and so difficult to beat. For example, I disliked Laettner because of the shot but mostly because all he did was win. I disliked Wojo because he just kept winning. I disliked Redick because he always made the big shot and I thought he'd never leave. But with Allen, he's the most entitled punk in Duke history and a guy who was decent but not against top competition. The hate for him isn't because he would beat you or that you wish he would leave, but because he's a punk who played dirty and pitched infantile fits about getting caught. Glad he's gone. I think I'll love watching him attempting to pull that crap in the NBA when he's not being protected by K, Duke, ESPN, and the NCAA. First time he tries that crap, he's gonna get a dose of some strong medicine, likely from his own teammates.

Thing is, though, he may not be good enough to make an NBA roster. We may never get the chance to see him put in his place.
Or as I like to say, he's the dukiest dukie to ever duke.

I completely agree. But what I don't agree with is all of the people in sports talk are paid tons of money to be a-holes. Skip, Stephen A, Colin Cowherd, etc. Those guys are complete a-holes and are paid a lot of money for that. And the reason they are so watched is because people love reacting to their crazy opinions. This guy seems like an up and coming a-hole.

I can be the biggest a-hole too, where is my paycheck?
There's a huge paycheck waiting for Conn(whateverthenumbersare)

My thoughts exactly on Grayson Allen. I would never buy any fake redemption story about that dude. Bash me if you want, but I did have some respect for Coach K until he handled Grayson's behavior so poorly. That kid would have been dismissed from my team. Period. You can have passion and fight in you without being such a cheating prick. If you really are that good, you don't have to resort to that ****. Good riddance. I hope I never have to watch him again.

The most disgusting part is the fake commercials they put Allen in with kids to try and improve his image.

He won’t make an NBA roster but you can bet he will end up as a Duke assistant coach.

I'm a basketball junkie so by definition I don't watch Duke games. That's not basketball, its kinda like watching gay porn to me. I've seen two games of theirs last two seasons, the South Carolina game and the Kansas game. But how could you sympathize with this....only Booby Knight or K could approve this and play this ***** kid.....


Damn. How many trips were in that video?! Seemed liked a hell of a lot more than three.

I really appreciate the OP and his remarks.

I guess what I hadn't thought of was, that if Allen had made that shot, we'd be condemned to watching it over and over again, as much as we've had to watch the Laettner shot.

Which proves, by the way, that no matter how you interpret the Pope's remarks, there definitely is a hell.
