"We are extremely excited about the fact that Zo wants to continue his career in Miami and we feel his decision to come back is going to be critical toward our success and goal of winning an NBA championship," Heat President Pat Riley said in a statement. "We have the utmost respect for Alonzo and he deserves to be part of this championship run." Mourning, who worked his way back from a 2003 kidney transplant, re-joined the Heat on March 1 as a free agent after playing two seasons with New Jersey. "I'm very excited about returning to the Heat this season and I remain more committed than ever to bring a championship to Miami," Mourning said in a statement. "I'm thrilled with all the improvements the team has made this summer and can't wait to get on the court and start playing." The team picked up the team option on Alonzo Mourning's contract for the 2005-06 season on June 17. </div> Link
YES! Having Zo is huge that blocking monster is huge for us, he is a Heat legend im very excited to know hes staying
To me the fact that Zo backs up shaq is crazy. When u play the heat you center is in for a 48 min. beating! LOL! GL Miami!
I absolutely love it when Zo comes off the bench and starts blocking shots, and making his patented hook shots. An excellent leader and perfect backup for Shaq.
