If you've ever seen Tony Allen drift out of the huddle to wander the court during a timeout, you already have a strong sense of his migration patterns. The man cannot be pinned down. He flutters along from one place to the next, guided almost entirely by instinct. Allen's teammates have long since abandoned trying to predict where he'll be—or what he'll do—next.
"You know," Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley said, "Tony does whatever he wants to do."
During the breaks in the game, Allen might roam from his teammates to amp himself up—and accidentally veer through a group of kids in the middle of a dance routine.
