Grayson Allen has the ultimate in punchable faces.

And what a performance it was. She came out in her usual red dress, looking somewhat older and thicker perched precariously above that solitary wheel. The appreciative crowd gasped as one as she went through her routine of flipping plates onto her head as she maintained her balance, each successful effort followed by her customary "wow"...as if she were doing it for the first time. Several aficionados nodded knowingly as she switched to her left foot for her 3-plate effort, and may have released a quiet sigh of relief when all three landed safely on her pate. The crowd relaxed just a little when she returned to her right foot for the 4-plater, but you could cut the tension with a knife when the Sun Gorilla brought out 5, yes that's right, 5 plates. One women screamed "No, don't do it", while another fainted and needed to be attended to. Men feigned bravery, but their hearts were racing as they thought as one: "This cannot be done." She took a few turns on her cycle as she played to the audience. Her smiling face changed to one of total intensity. And then it happened. One by one she positioned the plates carefully on her right big toe, arranging them as always in her peculiar alternating right-side-up, right-side-down fashion. Time stood still and you could hear a pin drop in a silent Footprint Center as the five plates soared upward. No, no, doesn't the 4th plate seem to be a little too far to the right? This is NOT going to work! But alas, we watched them fly through the air in slow motion only to land successfully, one by one, on her head...with the 4th one perhaps a little off center. "Wow", mouthed the Red Panda, as the crowd roared its appreciation. The Panda took one more victory lap as she waved to the adoring crowd, and then quietly left the stage. No time to relax for her...there's a plane to catch for tomorrow's performance in Omaha. Another day, another performance.
Most punchable face in the history of the Association...Christian Braun is a far distant 2nd. After another made three, I asked the Suns fan next to me "Do you like Grayson Allen?'. He said, "yeah, he's our guy". "But do you really like him?".
