Zo the best our vacations were legendary

Zo is, first and foremost, a gentleman. One of the greats.

A very wise brother well articulated, no swearing, class. He was a REAL MEAN rim protector, I love these guys no afraid to be posterised for doing their job, respect.

The late great John Thompson's Georgetown Hoyas developed great centers. Zo, Patrick Ewing, Mutombo... Always a fan of Zo.

Zo, at every point of his career, always reminded of a stern, strict uncle. Zo and LJ were a tough duo on NBA Jam. If you know, u know.

All real basketball fans love Alonzo Mourning 💫 - from a Knicks fan💚

Zo was the reason I knew my NBA dreams were done. I went to Kenny Smith’s basketball camp at 12 and Zo was the guest speaker. This man showed up in a muscle shirt and shorts and was RIPPED LIKE A GREEK GOD! And this was during his kidney issues! I said “this man looks like this with failing kidneys???” My 5’7 150lbs self knew it was a wrap from there 😂

Listening to these stories from the nba legends never gets old. Keep up the good work guys

Alonzo is my favorite player EVER...glad they did this interview

My favourite center of all time, the ultimate warrior big respect to Zo 💪🏽 🔥

How? He's a HOF. Popular conversation isn't the only conversation.

I know I haven't seen all the sports videos online. But I want to thank All The Smoke for bringing on Alonzo Mourning. He, thus far is the only player who acknowledged the Pistons in the same breath as the Lakers, the Celtics, and the Bulls. Thanks for the video and I can't wait to see more. Detroit! What up doe!

“ He was a six ten Vince Carter “ That is definitely the best analogy i have ever heard of Shawn Kemp 🔥🏀

Loved Zo's game in Charlotte and the more I learned about the man validated the initial admiration. Collected his cards, kept the Slam magazines, read Resilience, rocked the jersey, hung the SI cover with Russell on my wall. Last item on the list is to shake his hand and tell him what an inspiration he has been. Thank you for having him on the show.

good guest...always loved Zo's defense, esp his blocks. he contested everything, even if he got dunked on

I played against Zo when were young bucks in HS (class of 88). Zo played on an allStar AAU squad under Boo Williams and they were loaded with talent but the teams back then had skills - had fundamentals down cold!

Grown up (mature) discussion! Love it! Grown-folk-talk.

I'm a Miami native. Used to go to Zo's Summer Grove and loved Zo and Timbugs era. Thank you Zo for your impact and contribution to our community!!

I remember Zo’s basketball summer camps in Miami. He was a big community guy before Shaq. As a kid we loved that guy.

They finally got Alonzo on?! Man I been thinking about him being in this show for a long time. They had wade, Udonis, Shaq, Gary Payton, Jason White Chocolate Williams on. Bout time they got zo. Another member of the 2006 Miami heat championship squad. Plus zo had a long career, played for a few teams. Got a family, had a health scare. So Alonzo Mourning is definitely somebody who should've been on All The Smoke. Glad they got him. Been waiting on this

My earliest memory of Alonzo mourning I was in 1st grade in about 2000-2001 I got in trouble and my grandma made me read the mourning news paper and write essays and did a essay about an article on how Alonzo wasn’t gonna play the upcoming season…. I caught on late but Zo a legend nun the less

My favourite player growing up in the 90s. Loved his commitment to defence, hard work and tenacity.

He was intensity & effort personified. That was what i liked most about Zo's game.

As a heat fan since Zo days glad my guy getting his due 🎉🎉🎉

Great pod. The warrior himself Zo! I loved watching him play. One of the best defensive players and best shot blockers since Bill Russell

Zo vs Stephen Jackson’s take on painkillers shows exactly how different they are. Zo takes responsibility, Jackson looks to blame

Glen rice was subsequently traded to heat for mourning around that time in '96-'97 season.

My favorite interview so far. Zo is my GOAT and Basketball Hero.

admired zo resilience and his tenacity defensively

Great interview guys..loved watching Zo played and he's got great stories respect

Shaq was a bit salty after reading the DPOTY awards on NBA On TNT.🏆😏

My favorite childhood center growing up. Always admired how he was undersized during his era but was still amongst the best. Mean on the court but well spoken off of it. Definitely a legend and played during an era when it was tough to be an elite big but he still did it. Zo, my dog. 💪🏾

Man, I love Zo. He was so intense when he played. Loved his passion

Big Zo was the man! Fav player next to Wade

Zo is probably my favorite player of all time. To a little kid growing up in south florida before we had flash we had Zo and he felt just as heroic

My childhood hero and still is

Yall got ZO!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Forgotten center. The Heat as a legit franchise started with Riley, Mourning and Hardaway.

Great Interview Fellas!!! Much Respect Zo!!!

OK SALUTE 🫡 TO Y'ALL FOR HAVING ZO UP THERE

A fan of Zo since his rookie and followed him to Miami and became a Heat fan since.

Preach about aau!

I remember Zo and Larry at Hornets in early 90s

My favorite Zo moment, his rookie year with Charlotte, in the playoffs. He hit the game winning shot against Boston

Great interview. I just wonder if Zo still not talking to VC after that dunk.

Zo has that Miami life tan going..Dude is a legend.👍🏽

Shawn Kemp needs to be on here. Reignman and Da Glove together would make a hilarious interview

Lee Mayberry? He played for Arkansas. 😂

Zo's Summer Groove was the joint! When I attended, I sat next to T-Mac's fiancé (now wife) and family during the All-Star game. Common 🐍 was the entertainment during the game.

One of the best shows ever

Favorite college player ever

Bro Dwade was in God mode that series. That fool almost made me break my TV. Dallas was my squad! Dirk is in my top 3 favorite players of all time.

Great interview yall!

Zo's take on AAU is not wrong. It's hard to develop a kid when he's written about in sports magazines, talked about on social media platforms, and his parents want to know how much a coach is willing to pay to have their kid play for a certain program. They want more than just sneakers, bags, and sweatsuits. AAU is all money. From the programs to the events they play in. Parents want their kids to play for certain teams because the program plays in certain events. Some programs have little to no practice, just play games. Not all programs are like that. There are some programs that have 2 to 3 practices a week and may play every other weekend. That's 4 to 6 practices before they play a possible 2 or 4 games in a weekend. That the way AAU should be.

Good stuff great information about wellness

Zo speaks the truth. You need to have handles a midi and be in the best shape of your life. Real talk.

Great episode

Awesome that they got Zo!

Should have a Zo & Worm podcast Mourning and Rodman would be very entertaining

Respect to all 3 of these men. Excellent show!

Fantastic interview. I definitely appreciate Zo being so candid God put things in our lives and put people in our lives for purpose. I definitely believe that💯🤔, I’m from Washington DC big John was very respected in our community. You will see him on a regular at the Carryout getting chicken wings and fries with mumble sauce and he didn’t play around with his players and people who might mislead them💯🤔, big John with no joke he playing around with drug dealers messing with his players Or around his campus💯🤔, he was a real deal💯💕☺️
