Grayson Allen is not a very popular man in Windy City. Many are still absolutely angry at him after he injured Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso last January. But it has become clear that the Milwaukee Bucks guard isn't fazed at all.
On Sunday, Allen led the Bucks to a 119-95 win over the Bulls in Game 4 to take a 3-1 lead in their first round series in the NBA Playoffs. He was once again huge coming off the bench, finishing with a postseason career-high 27 points. He shot 10-of-12 from the field, including 6-of-7 from beyond the arc.
He was heavily booed by the fans of the Bulls throughout the game, but he has learned to tune them out. The Bucks jeer Allen as well during practices and film sessions or when they're on the bus or in a hotel. Per the report of ESPN, the former Duke standout said he likes it.
“They have so much fun. I think it's funny. I think it's honestly hilarious. They've kind of turned it into a fun thing. It makes hearing it out there during the game a lot easier, too, because they think it's so funny.”
The Bulls won't be laughing when they hear that, especially since Caruso is a well-loved guy. They probably won't appreciate Allen's seeming nonchalance at what happened. He also never apologized.
But the Bucks aren't too concerned about that anymore. Allen knows he's considered a villain in the NBA, and he fires back by helping the Bucks win.
