Reflecting on his playoff experiences, Allen expressed a sense of pride about becoming a meme and referred to it as his "one shining moment" during an appearance on "The Young Man and the Three" podcast.

Jarrett Allen is currently having a standout season, averaging 14.4 points and 10.9 rebounds per game, which has significantly contributed to the Cleveland Cavaliers' impressive start with a record of 16-1 after winning their first 15 games.

With Allen's strong performance, the Cavaliers are being recognized as serious contenders for a deep playoff run this season.

Recently, the Cavaliers secured a convincing 128-100 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans and are gearing up for their next matchup against the Toronto Raptors on November 24, 2024.

Allen gained some notoriety during the 2023 playoffs when he remarked that the "lights were brighter than expected" while facing challenges against the New York Knicks.

In that playoff series against the Knicks, Allen averaged 9.4 points and 7.4 rebounds over five games, playing 38.2 minutes per game.

Earlier in the 2023 playoffs, he had a strong start against the Orlando Magic, averaging 17.0 points and 13.8 rebounds before a rib injury ended his postseason.
