Some perspective: Dwight Howard won Defensive Player Of The Year in '10-'11 averaging 2.4 blocks a game. Ben Wallace won Defensive Player Of The Year in '04-'05 averaging 2.4 blocks a game. Alonzo Mourning won Defensive Player Of The Year in '98-'99 averaging 3.9 blocks a game.
Some perspective, ben wallace has 4 dpoy's tied with dikembe mutumbo, in 2002 he won dpoy averaging 3.5 blocks, i don't know why you picked his lowest year, but anyways defense is much more than blocks
Zo was one of and should be mentioned with the greatest centers to ever touch a basketball. His heart and fire cannot be found in today’s milk toast NBA.
Alonzo Mourning was a great player, if Shaq wasn't in the same draft class he would've gone as #1 easily. He was always 2nd to Shaq and during the 1st half of his career was bullied by Jordan's Bulls but he definitely had a hall of fame worthy career. I was a big Hornets fan when I was a kid and it was so much fun watching him, Johnson, Bogues, Curry, etc. play together during those years.
As a heat fan real fan since 04 about tbe time i strat watching nba all I gotta say is just watch game 6 2006 NBA finals real heat fans love zo he was a defense specialist hands down...... glad he got a title
the NBA puts the 3 second black ads at the beginning so you have a brief look at yourself. The person who isn't chasing the NBA dream they want, but watching others who have.
My favorite player growing up in Fayetteville, NC. First basketball and goal were Hornets/Mourning themed back in 92. Used to do the wristband forehead chin wipe for free throws. Followed him to the Heat. 97 was our year. I hate the Knicks.
He had a couple of nice game winners specially for a center. Dude was awesome, on a different note, I wonder what Lillard's top ten will look like when he retires. That dude is cold blooded.
He had a tremendous block on a dunk attempt by Anthony Peeler back in 1995 that i think deserved to be in this top 10 but your top 10 was not bad anyway!
Just think Zo was such a great center and he wasn’t even top 4 in the 90s. He would be awesome today. Dude was very good for being undersized. He was a bad dude.
the 1997 heat the very best team alonzo mourning played for since they reached the conference finals but his best playoff years were 1995 and 1993 in that order
alonzo bin my favorite top center since he was in Georgetown....but in my opinion #5 should b 1 or 2, plus they left out the dunk on indenka against dallas in the Finals of 2006, that should b #1...
all time heat line up: PG: Tim Hardaway SG: D Wade SF: LeBron PF: Bosh C: Zo bench 6. Shaq 7. Ray Allen 8. Dan Majerle 9. Shane Battier 10. UD 11. James Posey 12. Mike Miller
Even though he is one of the most underrated big men to ever step onto an nba court, I still hate him when he didnt wanna play for the raptors after getting traded to them. He then decides to run back to the heat since he knows they were gonna be successful
One of the most underrated bigmen of all time should have gotten a lot more credit
Is being inducted into the hall of fame not enough?
I meant during his career he didn't get mentioned with other great centers
cheapblues because he was in an era of many great big men.
People were to focused on Shaq
and on Olajuwon, Robinson Ewing, Mutombo.... the 90's the years of dominant center ;)
One of the best shot blockers of all time
the best was Shawn Kemp
Class War on your 2k on easy settings maybe
potatogamer x and yet zo was only 6ft 10. ...
potatogamer x ONE of the best.... smh
Brandon Ingram & D’Angelo Russell Burner Account up there with Dikembe
My favorite A.Mourning moment has always been his effort and performance in 2006 Finals game 6. Heat Fans know what I'm talking about.
It’s why his jersey hangs in the rafters.
Mourning was the face of Miami until D-Wade came into town.
Yes sure do my man left it on the court
@@suiken3149 No lies there
Hell yeah, he blacked out in that game
Some perspective:
Dwight Howard won Defensive Player Of The Year in '10-'11 averaging 2.4 blocks a game.
Ben Wallace won Defensive Player Of The Year in '04-'05 averaging 2.4 blocks a game.
Alonzo Mourning won Defensive Player Of The Year in '98-'99 averaging 3.9 blocks a game.
also keep in mind different eras
@@bobjoe2228 You are right, he would average a lot more blocks in todays league, he also might get thrown out the game for technical fouls too.
Some perspective. Howard was #1 pick. Wallace was undrafted
Some perspective, defense isnt only about blocks, but man, Mourning was a beast
Some perspective, ben wallace has 4 dpoy's tied with dikembe mutumbo, in 2002 he won dpoy averaging 3.5 blocks, i don't know why you picked his lowest year, but anyways defense is much more than blocks
Zo is one of the best defensive paint presences in history
Miss you Zo. From a real Heat Fan.
I agree man I miss him to but at least he ended his career in miami
Jace Owen we got Whiteside now folks! He's the new real deal.
TheRicey97 who is his teamates when he played??? (im 14 sorry)
Patrick and spongbob depends at when you're talking? For the 2006 championship he had Jason Williams, Wade, Shaq, Antoine Walker, Gary Payton etc.
@@KilluaZoldyck-qz1jn we got Adebayo now folks! He’s the new real deal.
imagine he had a kidney problem then cameback because of his passion in basketball. what a great guy with a big heart.
I know him and he’s very kind
LOL Frye thinking he would go all mean on that dunk, angry face and everything hahahahaaha
word like stick to what he does best. Shooting 3s
Straight savage zo would feast in today's NBA
Zo is the man!!! My all-time favorite player!
Look at Frys face before he got blocked. Zo was a great center and hit one of the biggest shot in Hornets history against the Celtics in the playoffs.
Zo was one of and should be mentioned with the greatest centers to ever touch a basketball. His heart and fire cannot be found in today’s milk toast NBA.
Zo was just a beast in the paint
I love how their vicious dunk faces change into those of confused bewilderment as Zo packs the shit outta of them.
I love that term "packs". We used this term for blocked shots constantly back in the early 90s. Seems like its fallen out of favor unfortunately
Alonzo Mourning was a great player, if Shaq wasn't in the same draft class he would've gone as #1 easily. He was always 2nd to Shaq and during the 1st half of his career was bullied by Jordan's Bulls but he definitely had a hall of fame worthy career. I was a big Hornets fan when I was a kid and it was so much fun watching him, Johnson, Bogues, Curry, etc. play together during those years.
His Heat were always going to war against Ewing's Knicks.
My all time fav player in NBA 😍😍😍
Man, zo was a beast! Just think how good he would have been, if he hadn't gotten kidney disease! Miss hearing snapper Jones on the Mike too! RIP ❤⚘
Hardaway and Alonzo, sounds like a great combination
Excelente, grande Alonso..😎💪
Anybody remember the Combo of him and Shaq?? Great 1-2 off the bench punch!! That's 1 reason they beat my Nets
Definitly not the best C of all time but definitly a great player. Deserves to be in the hall of fame.
that play against the Mavs in the finals, "Behind the back (Jwill), and the Dunk(Zo)" should've been added to this top 10 :P
Where are my top ten plays, along with Luke Walton, kwame brown, and Matt bonner.
Top 1,000,000
I preformed the 360 fadeaway dunk in between the legs 3 point shot over 10,000 times in my career they couldn't just chose 10.
Brian Scalabrine that joke is old
Maybe top 10 for all the above
Those guys are sorry🏀🏀
I always remember Zo blocked a two handed dunk from Richard Hamilton in a Eastern conference final game. It was the sickest thing ever.
Yea hopfully whiteside can keep up
Such a great player.
As a heat fan real fan since 04 about tbe time i strat watching nba all I gotta say is just watch game 6 2006 NBA finals real heat fans love zo he was a defense specialist hands down...... glad he got a title
He got 99 standing dunk cheese
Alonzo Mourning is a BEAST! LET'S GO HEAT!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the most underrated Centers
Now in the Nba You would get banned for life for doing what he did on #10
Ikr
For pointing at Nick Anderson?
Cuz the nba is soft nowadays with those pussies flopping like fishes out of water
AznK1ng yeah
look at shawn kemp dunks makes Alonzo look like nothing
He's the only guy I seen power through two defenders and still dunk, damn.
the NBA puts the 3 second black ads at the beginning so you have a brief look at yourself. The person who isn't chasing the NBA dream they want, but watching others who have.
Ok..
***** LOL
speak for yourself. Just because you have no life doesn't mean everyone else here doesnt
*****
OK, so we watch these athletes and wouldn't mind doing what they do, but that doesn't mean we don't have lives...
I like alonzo with Tim harderway, Jamal mashburn back then...long time ago but memories still remain..
My favorite player growing up in Fayetteville, NC. First basketball and goal were Hornets/Mourning themed back in 92. Used to do the wristband forehead chin wipe for free throws. Followed him to the Heat. 97 was our year.
I hate the Knicks.
#heatnation 2nd greatest heat player of all time and a well deserved hall of famer.
He and D-Wade also White Chocolate is the reason why I become a Heat fan.
when the league had a lot of great centers
Some of these guys are like "I'm gonna put Mourning on a poster"
Mourning's like "lol nahhh"
0:08 on today's NBA that would be a technical. That's how soft the NBA is now compared back then. No trash talking allowed.
Remember when LeBron had that monster dunk on Jason Terry? The stare down after was called a technical
That's Lebron of course it's a no call.
it was called
The Wiggzler He got a tech for staring at Joakim Noah after his dunk on him in the playoffs too and it was only a second. The NBA sucks today.
Its too soft these days
the original big three in miami, wade, mourning, payton. For all you "heat fans" wondering who he is
I wouldn't really call that the big 3 back then mourning and payton were both worn down and wade was the star
What about the Big Diesel?
NotoriousLANK Yeah I think he and wade were the stars of the team
Shaq, Wade and Jason Kapono
LeBeautiful Really Kapono? hell no but he was a good player
He had a couple of nice game winners specially for a center. Dude was awesome, on a different note, I wonder what Lillard's top ten will look like when he retires. That dude is cold blooded.
Zo is the best power Center.
A true Power within
This man was a Challenger.
I feel like the 5 blocks he got in Game 6 of the Finals back in '06 should be up here somewhere.
wow finally some respect for the great Zo,
Wasn't his heat jersey in one of the Fast and Furious movies? Dunno why it just crossed my mind when I saw this in my sub box :)
Mourning was great shot blocker. That's why he got posterized a lot or at least appeared to have been.
He was intense but Alonzo most impressive talent was that he could really block shots guy was great at it
My favorite player !!!!!!
He definitely would had Adapted in the NBA today and got a three point shot top 5 big man all time man does everything you need a big too do
He had a tremendous block on a dunk attempt by Anthony Peeler back in 1995 that i think deserved to be in this top 10 but your top 10 was not bad anyway!
God lord he had hops his head was almost on the rim when he blocked tht daymnn
He was 6'10".
Zo went beastmode till he retired!
His G6 performance during 2006 Finals should be up there.
This is a real man's top ten.
Such a beast
#7
Should be aLOT lower in this reel. Beast of a play..
Also I think they should show the dunk he had on Shaq his rookie or sophomore yr.
Look it up
ZO was da Man!!
Love the music great highlite too
LOL！I can't believe Harris try to dunk on Mourning! He must got some balls.
The first time I see so many real heat fans in a game.
Just think Zo was such a great center and he wasn’t even top 4 in the 90s. He would be awesome today. Dude was very good for being undersized. He was a bad dude.
Great player!!!!!!!!!!
UNDERRATED
always been a fan of Zo
1:00 Its so funny how confident that guy was about dunking on Mourning's face
Channing frye
What a legend! Also, Does anyone know the name of the heroic type song playing in the background?
the 1997 heat the very best team alonzo mourning played for since they reached the conference finals but his best playoff years were 1995 and 1993 in that order
What a Warrior!
That block on Frye,damn !
One of the best Goat Tees of All Time
Stupid how underrated he is. If it wasn't for him the Heat would not have won in 2006. He was such a perfect back-up center for Shaq
legend
He is a true worrior!
What about the block on Michael Jordan?
Which of all??
U mean the one right before MJ came back and rocked mournings shit in??
I wanted to see them too xp but sadly not included
Jeff Soto that’s exactly what he’s talking about. Stop asking stupid fucking questions you already know the answers to.
Jeff Soto mourning got posterized more than a few times but that’s because he wasn’t a bitch afraid of it
What is the name of the music? Darude-sandstorm?
yes
no its sarude-dandstorm
Darude - Sandstorm
Brady Amelia no its dadude SHITSTORM
Silence - delerium
Hey the music is good, unique way to signify one's entry to HOF
What a team on his early career in the ol' Charlotte Hornets with Larry Johnson and Mugsy Bogues.
name of the game from the last highlight?
'Zo my idol..only 6'10 but can destroy opponents in the shaded area..rodman and mourning court battles are always dope😂😁😁😁
One of the most underrated players in NBA history.
0:20 that crossover from Timmy and the resultant spindizzy...
Monster
0:38 is Shaq's exact impression of Zo on Open Court ("Fake left, go right")
Alonzo could have been a Hall of Famer with several NBA rings! 😢
alonzo bin my favorite top center since he was in Georgetown....but in my opinion #5 should b 1 or 2, plus they left out the dunk on indenka against dallas in the Finals of 2006, that should b #1...
Mine to bro i never seen some one with so much passion for the game in my opinion the greatest shot blocker along with hakeem and dikambo mutumbo
@2:00 it's so weird seeing an ad for Sharp lol
ブロックショット最高😊😊
damn. he looked like dwight that is able to hit mid range js. imagine if he is playing the game today.
+Jack Teo He could make his free throws too! Mourning was a beast.
"oooooooo I love this game!"
My best player
Please, I know advertisement is important but that BBVA Add is in every video of all nba pages, watching it every time is getting annoying
damn, tim hardaway had some KILLER crossover
Now I understand why Channing Fucking Frye only shots 3 pointers now.
This was that dude
true warrior
Imagine beating the buzzer with a dunk?? How clutch must that play be...
all time heat line up:
PG: Tim Hardaway
SG: D Wade
SF: LeBron
PF: Bosh
C: Zo
bench
6. Shaq
7. Ray Allen
8. Dan Majerle
9. Shane Battier
10. UD
11. James Posey
12. Mike Miller
I don't want Lebron in the all time, rather have Steve Smith or Glen Rice at Small
Lebron in the all time? Chris Bosh over Shaq?? Lol no thanks. Zo at PF and Shaq at C. Yea Glen Rice at small.
im talking about when these players played their best for this team
TheFilipinoBoxer D Wade is worthy of it, but LeBron and Bosh, nope
Shaq isnt even all time lol
Even though he is one of the most underrated big men to ever step onto an nba court, I still hate him when he didnt wanna play for the raptors after getting traded to them. He then decides to run back to the heat since he knows they were gonna be successful
Cool !
