MARC GASOL: I’m like, ‘What’s wrong with TA?’ He won’t talk to me. We get on the bus, he’s pouting and shit. I’m like, ‘What the fuck?’ They gave it to us. They gave it to me. I’m like, ‘What are you talking about?’ He mad. TONY ALLEN: I’d been politicking to get that award all year, bro. I’m talking about I’m even keeping in tune with the analytics people. I’m like, ‘Yo, they saying I can get it. They saying I can get it.’ And then Train comes in the locker room and was like, ‘TA, come here for a second.’ Grabbed me by the arm. I just know he’s about to tell me something exciting. He was like, ‘Well, we got some good news and some bad news. Which one you want first?’ I said, ‘I want the good news.’ He said, ‘Well, you did make First Team All-Defense.’ I said, ‘Yeah, okay.’ He said, ‘But you didn’t win DPOY.’ It blew me. I’m like, ‘Who won it?’ He said, ‘Marc.’ I said, ‘Oh, hell no.’ Marc got about a four-day mute action. He got some “what up” with a whole lot of “what up.” MARC GASOL: I said, ‘What the fuck did I do, brother?’ TONY ALLEN: I knew for a fact we were the best defensive team that whole year. You couldn’t score on us. No trick plays, no out-of-timeout bullshit, no ISO plays. Nothing. You couldn’t do shit with me and dude in that pick and roll.”
