Shooting guard: Tony Allen

The heart of the Grizzlies. Tony Allen known by “Mr. First Team All-Defense,” “The Kobe-Stopper,” but more importantly “The Grindfather.”

Though his offensive game leaves little to be desired, he certainly makes up for it with his defense and hustle. Tony created the identity of “Grit and Grind” and brought a championship mentality to Memphis. His defensive play is second to none, and his effort never falters.
