RE: A Letter to Memphis from Tony Allen
Damn, who knew TA could write so well? Better than most of what I read.

"It’s funny though, man, because I had all these doubters on me when I came in. But as far as I was concerned? I was coming to Memphis as the missing piece. That’s that Boston Celtics Championship Confidence — that’s what we call that. I learned a lot from Paul and Kevin and those guys, but right at the very top of the list, it’s gotta be how to act like a winner. Man, not even how to be a winner. That comes later. But it’s how to act like one, how to carry yourself like that’s just what you do. How to walk into some city, onto some court, and just let that place know. Let ’em know. Without even having to say anything. Let ’em know that you came here for one thing only.

And that’s to win."

. . .
"So, you know — thank you for everything, Memphis. I know I wasn’t perfect … but the time I spent here was. I came over as a young player, and left as the Grindfather.

I came looking for a team, and found a home."
