ESPN has a story about Mexico being a basketball oasis – especially for those players with near-pro talent, trying to keep their game sharp or those who don’t want to give up on their favorite sport. Green Bay’s Alfonzo McKinnie, ’15 now with the NBA’s Toronto Raptors found his way to Mexico in 2016. The story quotes him heavily. “McKinnie remembers his time in Mexico with fondness. ‘The fans in Mexico were great, every single one of those fan bases are amazing,’ he said. ‘They would wait for us outside the gym for selfies and autographs.'”
