This.

No idea why someone would have posted above that it didn't look like he did anything wrong--unless that meant only when everyone was huddled together.  Has anyone been to a game or seen footage of whether he runs his mouth a lot, or if he frequently throws The Kobe Elbow(TM)?

I'm with everyone who says Allen will always have a presumption of guilt and/or malfeasance from now on.  There's clutching and grabbing in every game, but when it comes from a guy who has openly tripped two fellow athletes during game action and then kicked another out of frustration earlier this season, everyone--very much including opponents--will come in with a baseline animosity level that's tantamount to a no-tolerance policy.  The accumulation of things he's done takes him from cheater to dirty cheater, and that's going to galvanize almost all of his critics and opponents.  Frankly, I think he deserves it.  His rep truly does precede him now.  There's a reason why you don't see this every game, or every season.  It's exceptional.  Reminds me of a sneakier (and admittedly less egregious and Materazzi-like) version of that soccer gal from a few years ago who was smashing and grabbing her opponents even when the ball was nowhere near them.   players like them.
