A few days back, Alonzo Mourning retired… kinda.
In an interview on the team Web site, Mourning said: “Yes. I’m retired. This is it for me.” The Heat, however, said the report was premature and removed the Q&A.
“A mistake was made and it’s not an accurate story and it’s been pulled, with our apologies,” Heat spokesman Tim Donovan said.
Mourning’s was responding to the question: “Have you completely ruled out coming back for another season?”
Mourning, who turns 38 next month, said before the season this would be his final year. On Dec. 19 in Atlanta he tore the patellar tendon in his right knee and underwent surgery the next day.
Sounds like there may be a difference of opinion. Z had said coming into this season that it would be his last, and he’s been shut down since December. But, I found this little nugget while looking at job listings on radio industry site AllAccess.com:

How awesome would it be to wake up with Mourning in the Morning? Heck, Anne Curry could do the voiceover.
