A very wise brother well articulated, no swearing, class. He was a REAL MEAN rim protector, I love these guys no afraid to be posterised for doing their job, respect.
-
Zo, at every point of his career, always reminded of a stern, strict uncle. Zo and LJ were a tough duo on NBA Jam. If you know, u know.
-
The late great John Thompson's Georgetown Hoyas developed great centers. Zo, Patrick Ewing, Mutombo... Always a fan of Zo.
-
All real basketball fans love Alonzo Mourning 💫 — from a Knicks fan💚
-
Zo is, first and foremost, a gentleman. One of the greats.
-
Zo was the reason I knew my NBA dreams were done. I went to Kenny Smith’s basketball camp at 12 and Zo was the guest speaker. This man showed up in a muscle shirt and shorts and was RIPPED LIKE A GREEK GOD! And this was during his kidney issues! I said “this man looks like this with failing kidneys???” My 5’7 150lbs self knew it was a wrap from there 😂
-
Listening to these stories from the nba legends never gets old. Keep up the good work guys
-
My favourite center of all time, the ultimate warrior big respect to Zo 💪🏽 🔥
-
ZO is weirdly underrated in his career
-
Major props 4 Zo.... Amazing franchise center, then overcame the kidney issues still was a very good solid role player after the kidney stuff got the championship & Hall of Fame... Outstanding player that I got a lot of respect for 👍🏼👌🏼
-
I always New Alonso was a great player but wasn't on my favorite list.. Having him on the Show made me realize how Great of a Man he is!... Blessing to the Brother... One of your Best shows Ever!
-
This dude has my ultimate respect 💪ZO
-
Alonzo is my favorite player EVER...glad they did this interview
-
Glad they did this interview. Zo does not get enough credit for his impact on the game. Always has been someone I had alot of respect for.
-
“ He was a six ten Vince Carter “ That is definitely the best analogy i have ever heard of Shawn Kemp 🔥🏀
-
I know I haven't seen all the sports videos online. But I want to thank All The Smoke for bringing on Alonzo Mourning. He, thus far is the only player who acknowledged the Pistons in the same breath as the Lakers, the Celtics, and the Bulls. Thanks for the video and I can't wait to see more. Detroit! What up doe!
-
They finally got Alonzo on?! Man I been thinking about him being in this show for a long time. They had wade, Udonis, Shaq, Gary Payton, Jason White Chocolate Williams on. Bout time they got zo. Another member of the 2006 Miami heat championship squad. Plus zo had a long career, played for a few teams. Got a family, had a health scare. So Alonzo Mourning is definitely somebody who should've been on All The Smoke. Glad they got him. Been waiting on this
-
Loved Zo's game in Charlotte and the more I learned about the man validated the initial admiration. Collected his cards, kept the Slam magazines, read Resilience, rocked the jersey, hung the SI cover with Russell on my wall. Last item on the list is to shake his hand and tell him what an inspiration he has been. Thank you for having him on the show.
-
My earliest memory of Alonzo mourning I was in 1st grade in about 2000-2001 I got in trouble and my grandma made me read the mourning news paper and write essays and did a essay about an article on how Alonzo wasn’t gonna play the upcoming season…. I caught on late but Zo a legend nun the less
