Tony Allen Only Wears Pinky Rings
When I met Tony Allen in the Knicks locker room earlier this week, I definitely got the sense that he’s different from his teammates. That’s not just because he was the only one who forgot to wipe his mouth after eating. It’s that he sat alone, bumping music, seemingly trying to shake the nerves of stepping on the court at MSG. It’s not easy to be nervous in a room with Sam Cassell – his sense of humor makes everyone feel at home.
But you never know with TA. Case in point, the former Oklahoma State guard insisted that his NBA Championship ring be fitted for his right pinky finger instead of his ring finger.
“You never know with TA,” said Ray Allen. “I told him that it might be pretty intense. That little pinkie will have to do some weight training to keep that thing up.”
Some guys will take their championship rings and put them away in a trophy case under glass. Other guys will make their championship jewelry a staple of their outfit any time they go out after dark.
Clearly we know what TA will do with his ring. What would you do with yours?

You report some crazy stuff like that, and all you can ask is “What would you do with” a championship ring? How about asking, “On a scale of 1 to 10 how crazy is Tony Allen?” 10

If I had as much money as them, I would put the real rings in glass and have copies made that were exactly the same and rock those
