Grayson Allen has been in the NBA for 3 years now. He has established a reputation for himself and not particularly a good one. The guard from Milwaukee Bucks is often disgraced for his rough and dirty style of play. 

Fans, as well as players, have clarified that they do not condone such an attitude on the court. Although Allen obviously does not have any intentions to hurt somebody yet, his rough style of play is quite intentional. His rowdy and aggressive playing style brings him a lot of criticism. Fans have often called Allen out and showed their dissent towards him.

The players also did not hold back and made sure they had not forgotten the foul on Caruso. They replied in kind with the same level of aggression. 

“Y’all trying to make it something it ain’t. It’s basketball,” Jones said of his foul on Allen after the game. “I’m not a dirty player. What happened in Milwaukee, we didn’t like it. But I’m not going to go out there and try to take a man out.”
