Larry Brown: He was a leader on the court every game. Nobody ever questioned Allen for trying to win a game and the admiration the coaches had for him in terms of how hard he played, how competitive he was, how tough he was. … He wanted to play 48 minutes a game. I always laugh now and I tease him when you hear these guys sitting out games to rest players. If I had ever tried that with Allen, I mean, I don’t know what would’ve happened.
