Re: Magic's Message to Mourning. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Earlier Saturday evening, Los Angeles Lakers Hall of Fame guard Magic Johnson, who chose to retire when he discovered he had contracted the HIV virus, called for Mourning to retire. "I don't want him to come back," Johnson said. "He did what he needs to do. It's over. You chase the dream that you wanted, which is the championship. Now he should focus on his health, focus on this - doing good in the community. And what better way to retire than to go out on top? He has other things he needs to accomplish now."</div>Source
Re: Magic's Message to Mourning. You kind of have to agree with Magic, what else does Mourning have to accomplish? He accomplished his goal, now he has bigger things to worry about.
Re: Magic's Message to Mourning. Yeah hopefully he retires on top but there is still a chance Miami wins another championship next year.
Re: Magic's Message to Mourning. Who and the hell is Magic Johnson to tell Alonzo Mourning what to do with his life.
Re: Magic's Message to Mourning. i agree Mourning doesn't need to come back, but why is magic so concerned?
Re: Magic's Message to Mourning. You guys have to think about it. Its hard to just walk away from the game.

But really magic is right,he should retire while he is on top,besides magic is just concerned about zo's health which mourning should worry about more than basketball especially after winning a title already.
Re: Magic's Message to Mourning. I hate seeing guys like Mourning trying to prolong their career and in the end just sort of ruining their legacy. The Heat may or may not win the title again, but Mourning should retire while the afterglow is still fresh.
Re: Magic's Message to Mourning. Its unfortunate that Miami isn't going to win the title next year. Magic is right, but he should just keep this private to himself and to alonzo.
