Milwaukee Bucks guard Grayson Allen was up to his old ways on Wednesday night against the Chicago Bulls.
Allen, a former first-round pick in the 2018 NBA Draft, has a long history of taking cheap shots at opposing players dating back to his time at Duke University.
Just last season he committed an unnecessarily hard foul on Bulls guard Alex Caruso that sent Caruso crashing to the ground in a dangerous fashion. In his time at Duke, he racked up a laundry list of plays that range from questionable to just downright dirty which earned him a reputation as a dirty player.
Now he’s back at it against and Chicago Bulls announcers Stacey King and Adam Amin have seen enough.
Bulls Announcer Stacey King Suggests Someone ‘Two Piece’ Grayson Allen For Dirty Play

To his credit, Allen appeared to take a shove from Bulls big man Patrick Williams first. But he then appears to embellish his fall in order to take out DeRozan in the process. Allen was not penalized for the play, but DeRozan received a technical for his exchange with Bobby Portis Jr. afterward.
DeRozan later said that he only felt the play was dirty because it was Allen who hit him.
“It’s his track record,” DeRozan said of his reaction after the game. “If it was Boban (Marjanovic), I wouldn’t have done nothing.”
But Bulls announcer Stacey King went even further, suggesting someone needs to teach Allen a lesson.

“Somebody needs to give him a two-piece. I guarantee you he’ll stop doing that,” King said. “Somebody pop him upside his head a couple times. He’ll stop doing that. Because he’s getting away with this too much.”
King may well have a point. Allen has faced very little in the way of consequences for his actions. Sooner or later, someone isn’t going to find his antics so amusing.
