Like Shammgod, Allen now spends his time molding the next generation of NBA players, passing along his gift. He has worked with a number of top guards, including Rozier, Irving and Isaiah Thomas. According to Rozier, Allen has a unique way of comparing dribbling to boxing. The description made perfect sense to Rozier, who boxes a lot during the summer. “So basically like, if you were coming up in transition and you like the pull-up 3, and you put it between your legs one time before you shoot the pull-up 3, that’s basically like giving somebody one jab,” Rozier explained. “Now if they adjust, now you come down the court and put it between your legs one time, they think you’re going to shoot and you just go into a hesitation. That’s giving somebody a counter because they reacted to that jab. So it’s basically just reading and reacting, the same thing you would do when you’re putting all that work into boxing. It’s the same stuff. Just reading and reacting to the defenders. Giving them counters.”
