Did Grayson Allen Pull Off An Incredible Flop?

Phoenix Suns guard Grayson Allen is getting dragged online for what many believe is a truly incredible flop job.

Allen hit the deck in brutal fashion Sunday during a 118-110 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder after Shai Gilgeous-Alexander appeared to hit him in the face with his head.

Allen dropped like a sniper had drilled him, and the tweet below has him trending as of early Monday morning. In the video, it definitely looks like Allen sold the flop job in Oscar-worthy fashion to draw an offensive foul before it was overturned.

Give it a watch below, and let me know what you think at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.

Did Grayson Allen flop?

However, a second angle of the incident appears to tell a very different story. The opposite angle shows Grayson Allen getting drilled in the face by Gilgeous-Alexander's head.

He clearly took a shot, despite the claim many are making online that he went down for no reason.

Unfortunately for Allen, nobody really believes him when it comes to flopping and fouls because he's faked it far too many times.

The man is a renegade on the court going all the way back to his days at Duke. He's without a doubt one of the most hated Blue Devils players in program history. The talented guard was a menace on the court in college and it hasn't changed in the NBA.

I get paid to call balls and strikes, and while Allen might have sold this one a little bit, there's no doubt he did get hit in the face. The second angle is clear as day. It might not have been an offensive foul after being reviewed, but there's no question he got hit. As easy as it is to dislike the former Duke star, he might not have actually flopped this time.
