Adonal David Foyle was born on March 9th, 1975 in the Caribbean islands of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. He has two older sisters, Theresa and Marian, and a younger brother, Augustine. When he was little, Adonal lived on Canouan - a tiny island measuring just 3.5 miles by 1.25 miles - with his grandmother and his donkey. He only learned about basketball at the age of 15, when he moved to the larger Union Island to attend secondary school and be with his mother and the rest of his family.
