Alonzo Mourning out for the year

[BigSmooth]

Apparently, that kidney ailment he has is bad enough that he can't play and may eventually need a transplant. It sucks for Heat fans, and I think Zo is a great competitor whom I enjoy watching play. Hopefully, he can make a Sean Elliot-style comeback.

We are all pulling for him!

I hope Zo is well soon too.

Best of luck to him and his family.

Most certainly do I wish Zo and family the best of luck. Lot of respect for the man. He's got heart.

This happened quick. A few weeks ago he was jammin' it through the hoop and hitting free throws for USA basketball. Now he's preparing to undergo treatment.

His doctors didn't say for sure if he would need a transplant. Hopefully not.

Anyway, here's wishing he comes back better than ever.

Best of luck to 'Zo. I hope he comes back next season, I miss the Knicks-Heat rivalry already.

Zo's been my fav player since his days back in Charlotte, and the Heat has been my fav team since Riley and Hardaway joined up. It does suck, but don't count the Heat out yet. They still have Grant, Hardaway, Jones, Mason, Marjle, House, and Carter. They also get $4 million sallary cap room to try to compensate for the loss. They should still make the Finals, even if they do lose to the Lakers in 4.

I know. The Heat woulda DEFINETLY been play-off contenders this year! They have a kick-ass team. But without Zo they're weak down low. I hope he gets better soon so I don't have to watch the Indiana Pacers or Los Angeles Lakers go to any more championship games.

In case you're wondering, my fav team is the Phoenix Suns!

JASON KIDD IS GOD!
