05:52 AM ET 04.24 | Celtics guard Tony Allen, back in his hometown for Game 3 against the Bulls last night, has received death threats, according to several NBA sources, and security was added to protect the visitors' bench in the Celtics' 107-86 win. Sources said Allen has been receiving the threats in Chicago for some time. The former Crane High star also received threats prior to a March 17 game at Chicago, sources said, but he didn't make the trip because of a thumb injury.

I don't think the death threats were related to the Bulls/Celtics match-up.... They are probably from someone in his past--some "unresolved issues", if you will. Either way, that sort of stuff shouldn't be happening regardless of if he was a basketball player, a stock broker, a janitor, unemployed or whatever....
On a side note, it sucks that the Bulls got spanked last night.... Oh well, they've already won as many games as I thought they would this series.

unrelated... do you guys remember during a deal ball tony tried to show boat and tried to dunk and then came down wrong and blew out his knee! lol
as for death threats... he didn't go to chi because he was scared... NOT BECAUSE OF A THUMB INJURY! lets be serious! your team is in the playoffs and you stay home and not support your team because your thumb hurts! lol
for the sake of his street cred lol... lets all beleive he stayed home nursing is thumb

Beef Keef - he was at the game last night. He didn't go to a March 17th game (and many other games in that time period) because of the thumb injury. Try reading the article next time. The first line says "back in his hometown for Game 3 against the Bulls last night..."
Idiot.

Never amazes me how far people will take something that is nothing more than ENTERTAINMENT. I don't like losing either, but it won't ruin my day or make me wish someone was dead.

But, he was there last night, played in the playoff game (9 mins...) and will be tomorrow, playing in the playoff game. He missed the March 17 game. Your "he was scared" theory sucks.

What would be real funny is the Lakers getting knocked out early; Everyone expects the Celts to lose (or should I say WANT them to lose) because there's no Garnett.... Like I said before, Big Baby is doing a superb job out there on the floor; And it's only a matter of time until Marbury gets back into game shape and starts to produce even more!!! THE BEST IS YET TO COME!!!!

They could have at least sent the death threats to the ALL-STARS on the team, and not some bench player...

It probably has to do with his ties to the street more than anything else. Think about it, it's not like he's the deciding factor in whether the team wins or loses the series. Maybe if he hadn't been such a "Tough Tony" growing up he wouldn't be receiving these threats. LOL.

I really don't know much about Allen, but smart money says this isn't about basketball. Sounds more like a beef in the hood, and the fact that he's a pro athlete now just makes it worse for the haters.
