Congratulations to Alonzo on a great career. Somehow, he came out in the end as an even better person than when he started. HOYA SAXA!!

Congratulations to Zo! One of the all-time Hoya greats. The era of JT2-Pops, is coming to a close, step by step.
But the standard they set, the expectations on and off the court, are all great examples for the current and future players and teams.

Hats off to a truly class act. I'm so glad he got to have that run with the heat a couple of years back and get his ring. He's one of the few that is a great player but perhaps a better person.

'Zo remains now, and probably forever will be, my favorite Hoya.
My tribute:
(still my favorite shoe/NBA commercial of all time)
"He's Gonzo!"
Whatever happened to Humpty Hump anyway?

I though Zo was already retired.
That would be cool if JT3 Hired him as the Big Man Assistant Coach.

A great Hoya. A great human.
I would love to see him with an official role with the program. Maybe head fundraiser for the Thompson Arena?

Sure as hell could've used him tonight.
Alonzo Mourning = all heart, all-out effort, 100% of the time. No exceptions.
