<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"><font face="Times">MIAMI?</font><font face="Verdana">Alonzo Mourning is in the Miami Heat practice gym working diligently on his game, teammate Shaquille O'Neal is half a court away working on his foul shooting, and burgeoning star Dwyane Wade is also finishing up his duties as the best team in the NBA Eastern Conference completes its day's work. </font> It is a situation any serious competitor would love to be in, playing on a good team that has a chance to be great, a team with a legitimate shot at the NBA championship. And Mourning is nothing if not a serious competitor. And it is why he is in this gym today and not at some nearby high school working out with the Raptors because Miami offers far more than Toronto. Mourning knew it, Rob Babcock knew it and there was never a chance the veteran centre would play for the Raptors. And if fans thought otherwise? "I apologize," Mourning said in his first public discussion of the Dec. 17 trade which made him a Raptor ? at least theoretically?and sent Vince Carter to New Jersey. "That was my main purpose of not stepping foot in Toronto at all, not to raise anyone's hopes or anything like that. </div> Source I'm just going to say that Karma is a bitch.
wtf? thats completely bs, "That was my main purpose of not stepping foot in Toronto at all, not to raise anyone's hopes or anything like that."
WTF??????!!!!! That was your main purpose?????!!!!! You get traded to a team you show the fu4k up there. "Not trying to get their hopes up" ... what a lame execuse!!
lol...he's got such a high opinion of himself. i dont think anyone in toronto was overly excited about him coming here. he's barely played the passed few years. he's a glimpse of his former self. get over yourself buddy
frankly i dont care aobut mourning...all we ever hear about is his gd'ed kidney, sorry if i have to be so honest, and then he goes on and on about not wanting to play n T.O??? gimme a mfing break man...you're in the NBA!!! Millions of people would kill to be in your position and becuase you dont like the team, you're not even going to go to toronto??? i hope he does so poorly he has to retire
wow...this is complete bs... <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">"It's not about money, that's why I gave up the $6 million," said Mourning. "I didn't care about that, it's about winning right now. I knew I wasn't going to win in Toronto.</div> If it wasn't about the money...couldn't they have possibly made the buyout even less? This is ridiculous.
