Duke freshman Grayson Allen wasn’t talked about this season nearly as much as fellow Blue Devil freshmen Jahlil Okafor and Justise Winslow, but Allen had a monster game in the NCAA championship, dropping 16 points and carrying the team when Duke was struggling.

The 6-foot-4 native of Florida is also important for another reason, one whose need can’t be understated — Allen is the Duke villain we’ve all been waiting for.

While Okafor and Winslow were almost too likable this year, Allen is the perfect blend of Dukeness that Christian Laettner wrote the book on back 25 years ago. He’s the type of guy college basketball fans love to hate.

We’ve been waiting for him. He’s here. We’re going to be sports-hating him for years, and here’s why:

1. He slaps the floor on defense

Allen slaps the floor on defense. He still does it. In 2015. People have been making fun of Duke guys slapping the floor on defense for decades, and Allen decided he loved it and still wanted to do it. He does it all the time.

From The New York Times (via Deadspin):

The freshman guard Grayson Allen said: “You can’t be weak when you do it. You’ve got to be strong. It’s that thing where you’re showing the other team, like, Look, we’re here, we’re ready to get a stop — and you’re and the teammates behind you — like, Let’s get a stop.”

Ugh.

2. He’s a bully

His teammates call him “Deebo,” who is the bully from the movie Friday. After the NCAA championship, Justise Winslow revealed in his postgame press conference that Coach Krzyzewski frequently calls Allen an “ass—-” in practice.

You know who else was famously a bully at Duke? Christian Laettner. Awesome.

3. He’s loud

This play, against Michigan State, is all things Grayson Allen.

He misses the 3. He gets his own rebound and slams home a dunk. He celebrates with the Duke bench like a mad man. It’s a bit too much, and totally Allen. He’s loud and annoying. We all know this guy.

4. He’s got one of those faces

Dude’s got one of those faces. He just does.

5. He slaps the floor on defense

This one needed to be repeated.

6. He’s not going anywhere

Allen is a great player, but he’s not considered close to being an NBA prospect yet. He’s not going anywhere. We could get three more years of floor slaps. Get ready.
