Cormac Ryan has lived a long, improbable path to the NBA. Wearing a Milwaukee Bucks road jersey with number 30 felt almost routine to him.
From neighborhood gyms to elite arenas
Ryan learned to treat every court the same way. He once shot in the Dapolito Rec Center on Carmine Street.
He also played in packed college venues. That included Cameron Indoor Stadium during Coach K’s farewell game.

The game in Houston came before a full house of 18,055. Ryan drained threes against top defenders, including Kevin Durant.
