Bonzie started basketball because his father was a coach. Bonzie stated “I was born to play the game of basketball.” He grew up around basketball so it became a part of him. He was used to being on court so that is where Bonzie was comfortable.
In high school Bonzie’s team made it to the finals three times in a row. His team always ended up second in the Massachusetts state tournament. In high school his father’s team lost to Kentucky. This devastated the team and the coach.
This also affected how Bonzie played because he did not like that Kentucky beat his father’s team. So the next time his team plays Kentucky, Bonzie will have a personal connection and desire to beat them.
