OAKLAND, Calif. — Tony Allen may be the biggest competitor in the NBA. He gets so wrapped up into games, cheering on his teammates and big plays with wild gestures and primal screams.
But in Game 1 against the Warriors, Allen may have been too wrapped up into the game.
Coming out of a timeout, Allen was so focused on the game that he didn’t realize that the Warriors Jr. Jam Squad was performing a routine.
He strolled right through the dancing kids and only realized what was going on after the crowd started to boo him.
Not cool, Tony Allen. Not cool http://t.co/RJNGmKTvUt https://t.co/qGnHf5i94o

Allen did acknowledge his mistake by slapping hands with one of the dancers but the crowd didn’t take too kindly to his lack of awareness and have been booing him incessantly.
Warriors fans and other non-Memphian NBA watchers need to understand the Tony Allen wanders around the court during stoppages all the time.
