CHICAGO – The “Hoop Dreams” came true for Warriors guard Alfonzo McKinnie.
It did not just involve returning to his hometown wearing a Warriors uniform in the team’s 149-124 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Monday at United Center, which is 12 minutes away from his childhood home. It did not just involve providing a subplot to Klay Thompson’s 52-point night on an NBA record 14 3-pointers by adding his first career double with 19 points and 10 rebounds. It did not just involve playing in the building that Michael Jordan built and playing in front of former Bulls luminary Scottie Pippen.
