After basking in the glory of winning his first NBA Championship with the Heat, Alonzo Mourning has decided to stay with the team for at least another season. Opting out of retirement was influenced by the Miami fans. Their support over the years was too tremendous for Alonzo to just walk away from basketball now. I'm glad he wants to return for another season, especially as a member of the Miami Heat. Other teams did try to lure him away by offering lucrative deals, but the veteran center wasn't biting.
At 36, Zo still has a few years left in him to play in the NBA. Sure he's took a lot bumps, bruises, and endured his share of hardship along the way, though it's his will to never quit and strength that make him a surviver and champion. His story with the kidney ailment is truly inspiring. I can't think of a more admirable player in the NBA that deserved a second chance than Mourning. He earned an Championship title, no matter what anyone says.
With the big fella returning to the league next year and having teammates Shaq and Wade together again on the team, I like the Heat's chances of winning consecutive titles. Obviously, the Spurs and Mavericks will be right there in contention too. If Alonzo can put similar numbers (7.8 PPG 5.5 RPG 2.7 BPG) from last season coming off the bench the Heat will be okay. It doesn't matter what he does because I know the Miami fans will welcome him back with open arms, showing their appreciation for his years of committment and stellar play.
