K 6: Tony Allen is the strongest and most difficult defender, but he thinks I am the strongest

August 18th News Recently, former NBA player and current basketball commentator Jamal Crawford talked about the most difficult defenders when interacting with fans with Reddit.

Crawford said: "Tony Allen is the most difficult to deal with! He doesn't care about offense, he only focuses on how to make his opponent feel pain. He made me, a player who plays freely, have to think more when doing the moves. Interestingly, a few years ago, he was asked in an interview who is the best player who has changed direction, and he actually said it was me. I thought 'Impossible' at the time because I always thought about how to deal with his defense."

Tony Allen played for the Grizzlies for seven seasons from 2010 to 2017. During the period, the Grizzlies made 7 playoffs, and Tony Allen personally was selected for the All-Defensive Team 6 times (3 times 1 team, 3 times 2 teams). Tony Allen averaged 8.9 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.4 assists per game, and 1.7 steals.
