If there’s one thing we love in sports it’s a good underdog story. And no fan base loves an underdog like Brooklyn Nets fans.
Last season Nets fans lauded over Chris Chiozza, the Mighty Mouse point guard out of Florida. Now, their praise and adulation are being showered upon a new guy: forward Alize Johnson.
For those unfamiliar, Johnson was originally drafted in the second round of the 2018 NBA Draft by the Pacers. He had only seen action in a handful of games in the NBA over the past two years.
Earlier this year, Alize was dominant for the Toronto Raptors G-League affiliate Raptors 905 in the NBA G-League Bubble (Gubble).
