Hooped Up

For the first number ever to be retired by the Miami Heat franchise, they sure picked a good one!

Last night, during halftime of the Orlando versus Miami game. Alonzo Mourning’s #33 was raised to the rafters of American Airlines Arena in a ceremony that lasted 43 minutes, honouring Zo’s stellar 15 year career. Mourning played for the Heat from 1995-2002 and then again from 2005-2008, winning a NBA Championship in the process.

The Heat franchise really went all out for Zo’s ceremony and deservedly so! Every single night he left it on the floor and was always a beast. Although injuries is what ended his career, Mourning should have zero regrets walking away from the game he played so hard.
