Some o fthe comments in this thread....eeep. Talk about a lack of class.
As for Mourning. Good riddance. Good player, a step below the truly elite, but he was a phenomenal player, at some points on both ends of the court.
That being said, he handled the Toronto trade awfully. I wouldn't have had a problem if he reported, asked for a trade and was moved once a deal was found (which would have been possible). Instead, he acted like a baby and refused to play.

What a douche... what kind of stupid comment is that?
You want him to die because he refused to play for a sports team?
You should get suspended for that ****...
Everybody dies ... I think he will die early (say before 60) because of his health, because what he has done to his body. You reap what you sow

The types of people who say such things are usually those with small packages, and don't have the balls to say it in the real world.
Good luck to you
BTW, Zo was all NBA First Team and Runner-up MVP, and all NBA Second Team and 3rd in MVP votings for consecutive years before his Olympic Gold Medal and his illness.
That is what I consider elite.
Mock his charitable work too, and the children, families and communities that he has assisted.
Truly a great human being. So I congratulate him for all his efforts and courage.
Thank you

I wished death on a guy who was making a weird sucking sound with his mouth/teeth while I was on an airplane. It sounded like he was trying to suck a piece of meat out from between two of his teeth.
