Tony Allen is first team All-Jedi thanks to this Grizzlies-Star Wars robe
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....FIRST TEAM ALL-JEDI!
Star Wars is everywhere, even in your local NBA games. A few teams have already planned to hold Star Wars nights, like the Phoenix Suns, Brooklyn Nets, and Philadelphia 76ers. But rather than just slapping a Star Wars logo on a basketball, the Memphis Grizzlies got creative with their merchandise.
Why just give away Star Wars merch when you can become Star Wars merch? That’s what happened to Grizzlies guard Tony Allen on Saturday night. Allen, who has made a name for himself for his defensive prowess and taunting his opponents by screaming “first team All-Defense, was made into a Jedi.
Jedi Tony Allen was then handed out in the form of a blue robe to the first 3,000 Grizzlies fans.
First team Al-Jedi sounds like a very impressive title. Do you think Luke Skywalker made First Team All-Jedi? He probably only won Most Improved Jedi. He may have received second team Al-Jedi, but not first. Darth Vader’s impeccable use of the Force, on the other hand, instantly qualifies him to be on the All-Jedi team with Tony Allen.
Vader and Allen would probably make for an unstoppable backcourt.
