Back When Tony Allen Tore His ACL…After The Play

There once was a time when the Tony Allen that we all know was the Tony Allen that Boston fans knew. Sure, he was still a stellar defender, but he also did things every now and then that just boggled the mind.

The one thing that takes the cake has to be when Allen went up for an uncontested dunk late in a game against the Indiana Pacers back in 2007.

After the referee had blown the whistle, Allen continued driving to the rim, went up and threw down a dunk. But instead of basking in the crowd’s reaction, all he got to hear were gasps as he landed awkwardly and ended up tearing his ACL, ruining the rest of his season.
