BIO: Gee was born and raised in Riviera Beach, Florida, Gee attended William T.Dwyer High School in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida where he led them to Class 5A state titles in 2004 and 2005.
As a junior in 2003/04, he averaged 15 points and seven rebounds per game as he earned All-State Tournament team and honorable mention All-State honours.
He was also awarded the Most Valuable Player of the 2004 Adidas Showcase national tournament.
Alonzo Gee made his NBL debut with the Brisbane Bullets at 31 years of age. He scored 13 points in his first game.
After finishing dead last in 2018, Brisbane said goodbye to Adam Gibson (to South East Melbourne), Shaun Bruce (to Sydney), and Anthony Petrie (retired) and went on a recruiting drive that brought in Boomers sharpshooter Cameron Gliddon (via Cairns), Jason Cadee (via Sydney), Matt Hodgson (via Adelaide), Tom Jervis (via Perth), and Mika Vukona (via New Zealand). The Bullets also welcomed back Rio Olympian and former Chicago Bull Cam Bairstow, who was returning after a knee reconstruction, added Makoto Hiejima under the NBL’s Asian Player rule, making him the first Japanese player to sign with an NBL team, and added NBA veteran Alonzo Gee (via Puerto Rico) as an import.
These key signings were meant to bolster Brisbane’s roster as they prepared for a tough start to the season, with 12 of their first 15 games coming against last season’s top-four playoff teams.
Four games into the season, Brisbane was forced to release Alonzo Gee (7.8 points 5.5 rebounds and 1.8 assists) when the veteran of 417 NBA games requested to go home to the US for ‘personal reasons’. A month later, import Stephen Holt (7.1 points 1.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists), concerned about his playing time (16.6 minutes per game), was granted a mutual release and left to pursue an opportunity in Europe. To fill the gap, Brisbane signed Lamar Patterson (via China) to replace Gee (October 2018) and Jeremy Kendle (6.0 points 1.2 rebounds and 1.1 assists), who had been training with the team throughout the season, to cover the loss of Holt.
Despite a short stint with the Bullets, Alonzo Gee (7.8 points 5.5 rebounds and 1.8 assists) delivered solid performances in his limited appearances. His best games of the regular season included 13 points 6 rebounds and 3 assists against New Zealand (11 Oct 2018), 8 points 10 rebounds and 1 assist against Cairns (13 Oct 2018), and 6 points 2 rebounds and 2 assists against Perth (20 Oct 2018).
Despite Gee’s early departure, Brisbane continued to be led by Lamar Patterson (17.8 points 6.2 rebounds 3.8 assists and 1.3 steals), Cameron Gliddon (13.7 points 3.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists), and Cam Bairstow (11.6 points 5.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists). Reuben Te Rangi (9.9 points 3.1 rebounds and 1.2 assists) won the league’s Most Improved Player and Sixth Man of the Year awards.
Brisbane finished the regular season tied with Adelaide (14-14) but secured the fourth spot due to a higher points percentage and advanced to the playoffs where they would lose to Perth in the semi-finals (0-2).
Alonzo Gee played one season in the NBL. He averaged 7.7 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 1.7 assists in 4 NBL games.
