Sasha Vujacic says he and Kobe Bryant spoke English on defense, then switched to Italian on offense so Tony Allen couldn’t understand them Sasha: That’s why when we played them, like he was the one actually, when Kobe and I would speak on the basketball court, he would come and listen, and we started speaking Italian. They’re like, ‘What? What is he talking about?’” Tony Allen: “I knew it. I knew it. I like, bro, they just said something in English on the defensive end. They get on the offensive end, they speaking a whole another language.” Z-Bo: “You knew it, huh?” Tony Allen: “I promise you I knew it. Yeah, cuz I’ll be overplaying, and then y’all saying something to make when you go back door or something.” Sasha: “That’s why you were laughing.” Tony Allen: “I knew it. I appreciate you for clarifying that.”
