Brooklyn Nets big man Jarrett Allen did not just give Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert a taste of his own medicine, but he also finished an alley-oop in the next possession.
Gobert is a two-time Defensive Player of the Year award, but Allen let him know that he is a good shot-blocker himself and that there's no such thing as an easy hoop against the Nets.
After the big rejection, Allen showcased that he's a hard worker and diligently ran the floor on offense. The best part was that he got rewarded for his efforts with a huge alley-oop slam.
