Sometimes I look at basketball-reference to trawl around for material to use in my video descriptions and come away shook by what I find. This is one of those times. I am shook by the revelations were contained on Alfonzo McKinnie’s basketball-reference page. The forbidden knowledge I have discovered has shooken me to my very core.
Alfonzo McKinnie is 27 years old, you guys.
If you are not as shooked by that revelation as I am, then either you are much less vulnerable to shookenness than I am, or you just pay a lot more attention to NBA players than I do. I had no idea McKinnie was 25 years old as a rookie in Toronto. If that fact were at any point present in the vast, yet empty, halls of my gray matter, the knowledge of it either crumbled into dust from disuse or simply fell out while I was sleeping.
McKinnie should be in his prime right now. However, since his development was delayed by the fact that he got to the NBA about five years later than most players get to the NBA, I’ll give him a bonus year of prime to play catch-up. That means, by next season, I want him averaging 14/5/2 on 50%, because those are the numbers that I consider “Prime McKinnie” to be capable of. I just pulled those numbers out of nowhere, but that doesn’t mean that Prime McKinnie isn’t capable of them. Because he absolutely is. Just look at him. He LOOKS like a good NBA player. Or, I should say, his body LOOKS like the body of a good NBA player.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to take a break to let all this shookness wear off.
