Celtics fans, say goodbye to T.A. Tony Allen will dawn a different color than green next season for the first time in his career, making the decision today to become a Memphis Grizzly. The C's former on-ball defensive specialist will join a fabulous core of young talent -- a stark contrast to Boston's veteran group -- in Memphis, who looks to continue their progress toward becoming an elite franchise in the NBA.
T.A. didn't have a ton of super memories here, but he did have his share. I'll never forget some of his dunks, or the team effort by Allen and Gerald Green on a breakaway chance to slam home an alley-oop off the backboard. If nothing else, Tony brought the energy to the Garden every night. Whether he was out of control or calm and collected, the energy was always there. A fabulous defender. A great competitor. Best of luck to Tony Allen with the rest of his NBA career.
