Grayson Allen is known as an American professional basketball player for the Memphis Grizzlies of the National Basketball Association. He is most famous for his dirty plays and tactics.
Grayson Allen was born on October 8, 1995, in Jacksonville, Florida. He was born to Sherry and William Allen. He went to Providence School in Jacksonville, Florida where he rapidly took to basketball and started to play skillfully in his school group.
Grayson won a state title with his colleagues in 2013, got chosen as a McDonald's All-American in 2014 and also won their Slam Dunk Contest. As a senior, he was named a MaxPreps fifth-group All-American and won numerous other commendable achievements he made in high school.
Coming into the 2018/19 National Basketball Association season, one of the rookies who many scouts were excited for was Grayson Allen, the 21st overall pick who has been compared to sharpshooter Bob Sura. Grayson has everything necessary to be one of the best shooters but only if he kept his bad attitude in check. At Duke, he was a hated player because of his cowardice and dirty plays.
In July 2019, Grayson continued his history of dirty plays. He was ejected out of a game for brining back the Duke adaptation of himself that made him a controversial college basketball figure. In a summer league game against the Boston Celtics, Allen got caught up with Celtics rookie Grant Williams and threw him to the floor to draw his first flagrant foul. At that point, on the following play, Allen got lost on defense and attempted to recoup by making another dirty play. As Williams went up for a lay-up off a pass from Tremont Wate, Allen swiped to make a play on the ball. Video replay demonstrated his whole elbow decking Williams in the head. Williams went at Allen before ignoring it and keeping his cool.
The Duke prodigy has for himself a beauty who passes by the name Bailey Bunnell. The two have been dating since 2013. There was a period where she was in a long distance relationship with Grayson as she was going to college at the University of South Carolina. They met while they were still in high school and have kept up their relationship from that point up till now. Maybe, soon, Grayson may walk her down the path of marriage with the money he is earning from his pro basketball career.
