Watch: Duke’s Grayson Allen trips FSU’s Xavier Rathan-Mayes
Duke’s Grayson Allen has rapidly ascended in the pantheon of “people who people hate who happen to play for Duke” as he’s grown into his starring role for the Blue Devils.

This all happened two weeks after Allen appeared to trip Louisville’s Ray Spalding in a game.
