Golden State Warriors small forward Alfonzo McKinnie has overcome more adversity in his brief basketball career than most NBA lifers do in a career.
From going undrafted out of Green Bay to playing in Luxembourg’s second division. From competing in Mexico on recommendation from a friend to paying $175 for a tryout with his hometown G-League team.
And finally, from earning a roster spot with the Toronto Raptors to securing a place in the Warriors’ rotation following a training camp invite. Yes, McKinnie has been through the figurative wringer in his short career to this point.
