Anyone else respect Alonzo Mourning? He was one hell of a player and a even better person. His comeback was amazing and when his career ended, how he refused to be carried off the floor that sumes up his whole career.

I just saw Homecoming on ESPN and it was a great watch...

The very first Suns game I seen in person was the Heat at Suns.

My buddy and I snuck down to courtside about an hour or so prior to the game and Mourning was shooting free throws and nobody else was on the court.

I'm 6'5" and at that time I weighed about 230 lbs. He came over and said hello. The largest man I'd ever seen up to that point. The guy was a hulk of man. He was very nice but for a senior in high school I couldn't get over his size. I'd been used to towering over everybody so it was a surprising change of pace.

We got ran back to the rafters moments later by security.

Hey, guess what...my 8th grade teacher was named Wesley Wrucke. He had a poster of Gervin up in his classroom.

Obviously someone hacked Andrew's account and made this post. It has nothing to do with Shaq so it can't be the real Andrew.
