Why is everybody glorifying A. Mourning

The Guy whines and cries his way out of New jersey after suckering them into a big contract, fails to report to Toronto, what the hell is that. He is exactly what is wrong with the NBA. He is the reason I don't want the Heat to win it even though I would love Shaq to stick it Kobe.

I think Alonzo is a good person but I do realize he played it wrong with his getting out off teams....

I feel you man...and i am a huge Heat fan, but i think its weak how he bolted when we were losing, and wanted back so bad once became a contender...at the same time can i really blame him for chasing the loot?...but i agree lets not glorify him either

Forget the fact he Alonzo is donating his ENTIRE (albeit not as much as he used to make) salary this season to some Kidney-illness research foundation.

I give him a Grade A for this.

arty: Yeah good job !!!

I don't care how much he is donating, good for him, but he still doesn't deserve a ring IMO, for this pathetic display of selfishness he has caused to New jersey and Toronto.

As if, 99.9% of the NBAers aren't the same way, don't villify,but don't glorify either.

I could care less if the NBA ceased to exist like the NHL, they play crappy basketball as it was meant to be played anyway.

is he donating the 10 mil he got from Toronto for not playing for them? lol.

I agree this guy is the poster child for whats wrong with the NBA. Not only financially but this need now for veteran players to demand to go to a championship team because they have earned the right. What nonsense.

Is playing 10-15 minutes a game behind Shaq really make him believe he is a big contributor and a champion?
