    nice comments by Zo

    for the most part I've always like Zo as a player and felt he was pretty under appreciated and then lost a bunch of prime years due to the health issues he had.

    the only knock I have on Zo actually is him being a punk about being traded to Toronto and forcing the raptors to buy him out so he could go back and sign with the Heat.

    Patrick said Hakeem had "Point Guard feet".

    I've always liked Zo, so it's good to know that he has such high praise for my all-time favorite player.

    Zo has always been a consummate professional. He's one of my fav centers of all-time.

    I'd tie kareem with Olajuwon, maybe even better.

    Olajuwon is better on the stats sheet than Kareem....

    But thanks to Zo, great class.

    i heard the tail end of this interview last night on dan's show while driving home. I heard the part about Rodman, sorry I missed the part about hakeem. afterward, the guy who dan talks to (not really a cohost) were talking about how mourning always played with a scowl. mourning looked liked that in his freshman year at Georgetown, I still remember.


    re: Larry Johnson, I remember when Mourning and LJ got into it in the tournament in 91 I believe, when GT also had Mutumbo
