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 😂

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

@KingTodd_gaming_ Ай бұрын

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

@ajae18 Ай бұрын

Zo's take on AAU is not wrong. It's hard to develop a kid when he's written about in sports magazines, talked about on social media platforms, and his parents want to know how much a coach is willing to pay to have their kid play for a certain program. They want more than just sneakers, bags, and sweatsuits. AAU is all money. From the programs to the events they play in. Parents want their kids to play for certain teams because the program plays in certain events. Some programs have little to no practice, just play games. Not all programs are like that. There are some programs that have 2 to 3 practices a week and may play every other weekend. That's 4 to 6 practices before they play a possible 2 or 4 games in a weekend. That the way AAU should be.

I remember going to the Compaq center in Houston to watch Miami Heats v Houston Rockets, sat 4 rolls to the court, Alonzo was being defended by Otis Thorpe and vice versa...goodness, it was like 2 summo wrestlers battling each other to gain positions on the block. I could hear the impact of their muscles clashing. It was so intense. It was so physical. I played basketball in college at 6'8" tall. There was no way I could have played like that. That was when I develop a lot of respect for power forwards and centers. It really gave it the meaning of POWER! Kudos👏🏿 !
