Podcast appearances and mentions of Alonzo Mourning

For too long, the narrative around men's health has been one of silence, denial, and “toughing it out.” That needs to change. Basketball legend Alonzo Mourning and Dr. Jonathan Fialkow, cardiologist and Chief Medical Executive of Population Health, Value and Primary Care for Baptist Health, break that silence with an honest, emotional, and empowering discussion about early detection, lifestyle changes, and the mindset it takes to fight back. Mourning shares his personal battles with kidney disease and prostate cancer, and why showing up for your health is the ultimate act of strength, not weakness. The session also features powerful audience Q&A moments that highlight real-life struggles, stories, and support. Listen now to hear life-saving insights and help change the way we talk about men's health — for good.Host:Jonathan Fialkow, M.D., Cardiologist, Chief Medical Executive of Population Health, Value and Primary Care at Baptist HealthGuest:Alonzo Mourning, Professional Basketball Hall of Famer and Community Activist

Jim is joined by friend of the pod David "Wando" Wandolowski to break down the hall of fame candidacy of former NBA center Dwight Howard. First, Jim and Wando cover the ridiculous athleticism of Howard in his early days with the Orlando Magic, as well as why Howard attended prom in their hometown of Naperville, IL (10:52). Next, they discuss the 2009 NBA playoffs, how Howard's career compares to Alonzo Mourning, and the lack of center talent during Howard's era (24:56). Finally, Jim and David debate where Howard ranks among the best centers of the last 35 years (59:25), before making a final call on whether Howard belongs in the Basketball HOF (70:53).

Welcome back to part 2 with Alonzo Mourning- NBA Hall of Famer, 7 time NBA All-Star, and "original "Beast" of the Miami Heat." In this episode, we discuss the state of education in the United States and how Alonzo has dedicated his life to helping at-risk youth in Miami.

Joining us on the podcast, Alonzo Mourning is an NBA Legend - Hall of Famer, 7 time NBA All-Star, and "original "Beast" of the Miami Heat." He discusses his experience growing up in a broken home and the people who poured into him as a child, ultimately leading him to altruistic endeavors. He now spends his time serving at-risk kids with his foundation, the Mourning Family Foundation, which "focuses on youth development through advocacy, education and enrichment".

Dikembe Mutombo was one of the most beloved basketball players on the planet. Today we are throwing it back to one of our all-time episodes with the humanitarian and Hall of Famer to remember the pure joy he brought to the game of basketball and beyond.Originally aired on August 25th, 2020 Mr. No-No-No Dikembe Mutombo has a story so unbelievable it has to be true. Hear how he went from the Congo to Georgetown on an academic scholarship. How coach John Thompson found him at school and invited him to practice with Alonzo Mourning's squad. And how Dikembe got extra reps playing intramural ball — yes, intramural ball, dunking on everyday students. We hear about his record-breaking first big game in college, his summer battles with Zo and Patrick Ewing, and his decision to go pro. You learn how Bill Russell shaped his mind. And why the story about Jordan dunking on Dik was seven years in the making — and how Mutombo never hears the end of it. We hear about just how cold the business of the NBA really is. Why Atlanta was heaven for a Black Congolese. And the story behind Adidas's Mt. Mutombo basketball shoe. Y'all be shaking your heads with amazement during this one. The larger-than-life legend, Dikembe Mutombo. Tune in. 

Do you miss the Kurt Thomas baseline jumper? What about the Tyrone Hill pick-and-pop? Did the Eric Snow elbow jumper do it for you? What if layups counted for three points?

Then, Greg Cote had Alonzo Mourning on this week's Greg Cote Show With Greg Cote and he discusses the emotional interview he did with him and how Chris make Zo unhappy with some of his questions.

Many men tend to avoid doctors until injury or illness forces them into urgent care or the ER. Men are half as likely as women to visit the doctor for routine exams and preventive care, leaving them vulnerable to serious conditions like heart disease and cancer. Moreover, nearly 30% of men lack a primary care physician to manage their health. NBA Hall of Famer Alonzo Mourning went public earlier this year about his surgery after receiving a diagnosis of stage 3 prostate cancer. He encourages men to take control of their health and not be afraid to seek medical attention. Host:Jonathan Fialkow, M.D., Cardiologist, Chief Medical Executive of Population Health, Value and Primary Care at Baptist Health South Florida Guest: Alonzo Mourning, NBA Hall of Famer, World Championship with the Miami HEAT

We open the show this week with Rob’s stories about Bobbleheads that do NOT look like him, after his wife confused his bobblehead for Tony Parker, and how he often gets mistaken for Alonzo Mourning and Horace Grant when out in public at times. It takes us down a wild road about NBA bobbles and statues that don’t look anything like the guys they are modeled after, specifically the tribute to Shaq’s LA statue.   Rob gets into the D-Lo situation with the Lakers, and why JJ decided to bench him, and why he immediately started performing better coming off the bench. We also dive into the rumors that DeAngelo will be used to make a move for another big like Brooke Lopez, and Rob says that as long as AD is healthy he doesn’t think the Lakers need another big. And we try to figure out why AD continues to shy away from wearing goggles, after getting popped in the eye the other night.   Plus the Giannis versus Jaylen Brown saga this week was confusing to us, as Giannis said he doesn’t want to be anyone’s friend but then plays games with guys on the court and is somehow surprised that guys don’t find that cute. B-Dog also lays out the trade scenarios for Dame Lillard to go to the Lakers, which would be so lopsided it would be comical. And the Cavaliers are showing the league just how talented they are, from Donovan Mitchell, to Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen, they are deep and talented and play great defense… all leading to an impressive, unbeaten start to the season. Plus the conversation about Chet Holmgren’s injury leads into Victor Wembanyama – “the Skinny Committee” – and whether guys who don’t carry much weight can still be offensive dominators in the NBA.   There is SO much great audio this week, including a check-in on the Draymond Green technical counter, audio from the cockpit during the Auburn basketball team fight that forced the plane to turn around this weekend, the hilarious and amazing Michelle Beadle Nuggets flub, and Pat McAfee leading the wild LSU fans into cursing on live TV! And the audio of Saints coach Darren Rizzi saying he clogged the toilet in the coach’s office on his first day takes us into a conversation about clogging the toilet at other people’s homes. We also give out a Big Shot of the Week to a Texas firefighter who pulled a toddler out of the second story window of a burning building, and play a classic round of Shot Clock that, as always, ends in controversy.

Alonzo Mourning declares Bam will win DPOY this year!

Leroy starts the show off on a usual note... yelling at customer service. We go over Monday Night Football, The Cardinals top the Chargers 17 to 15.

Tua continues on to feel like he's treated differently than other athletes like boxers and hockey players. Leroy is upset with Rex Ryan for having the same take on Aaron Rodgers. Does this make Leroy a hater? the Miami Heat open up their season tomorrow night against the Orlando Magic.

Muggsy Bogues remains the shortest player ever to play in the NBA, at 5-foot-3. Bogues stayed in the league for 14 years, most notably as the point guard for the exciting Charlotte Hornets teams of the 1990s that also starred Larry Johnson, Alonzo Mourning and Dell Curry. At age 57, he still lives in the Charlotte area today. We sat down in Bogues' home, inside a memorabilia room full of keepsakes from his career. We discussed Bogues' experience being shot as a child; the neighborhood recreation center Bogues says changed his life; and the former star's insistence that he really could dunk. In addition, we discussed Bogues playing himself in the movie Space Jam; his watching dumbstruck as Latrell Sprewell choked coach P.J. Carlesimo; and Bogues gives us the inside scoop on what Steph Curry was like as a child. Sports Legends of the Carolinas is hosted by Scott Fowler. It's produced by Jeff Siner and Kata Stevens.

I hope y'all came hungry and ready to be FED!!! In this episode, we're diving deeeeeeepppp with the incredible, Jesus-centered Trey Mourning! Trey's dad is NBA Hall of Famer & Miami Heat Legend Alonzo Mourning, so he's all too familiar with everything we talk about on the show. Trey's done a lot of intentional self work to find a way to be comfortable in his own, unique identity. But WAIT, there's moreeee!

Alonzo Mourning would have become the greatest player in Charlotte Hornets history — if he had only stuck around. Mourning played his first three NBA seasons with Charlotte after the Hornets drafted him No. 2 overall in 1992. He quickly turned into an intimidating, 6-foot-10 star for a Charlotte team on the rise. His scowl could scare you. His dunks could dent the hardwood. But a salary dispute led to the Hornets trading Mourning in November 1995 to Miami, where he became an even bigger star, won an NBA title in 2006 and eventually made the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility in 2014. For his “Sports Legends of the Carolinas” interview, we met Mourning in Miami, where he still lives and works for the Miami Heat, now as the team's vice president of player programs. Mourning, 54, discussed his years in Charlotte in detail and said he wanted to stay in Charlotte badly enough that he would have given the Hornets a substantial financial discount if they would have valued him correctly and kept him. “I'm going to be extremely transparent to everybody out there,” Mourning said at one point in our interview. “Listen, I was willing to take a lot less money than I received in Miami.” Mourning also discussed his life-threatening kidney disease and subsequent transplant in 2003, as well as his memory of making the greatest shot in Charlotte Hornets history in 1993.

Then, who has the best calves amongst Book Sciambi, Stugotz, Pablo Torre, and Alonzo Mourning? Also, Jimmy Graham is here to prove why he might be the best human being to ever join us on this show. He discusses the Arctic Challenge 2025 as he's set to row across the Arctic Ocean for a good cause, raising money for cancer research, going to the bathroom in a carbon fiber bucket, why learning is an addiction, and how his early life has shaped him.

Alonzo talks about his recruitment along with some of his favorite memories of John Thompson and playing days for the Hoyas and Miami Heat.

To properly tell the story of the Miami Heat becoming one of the NBA's most prestigious franchises, you have to start in the Spring of 1995. Pat Riley was on the last year of his contract with the New York Knicks, where he was the Head Coach for four years. Riley had taken the Knicks from sub .500 to Eastern Conference Champions in just a few years, and he wanted a compensation package that properly reflected his value. Riley asked Knicks management for a big contract, a hefty ownership stake, and total control of the team's basketball operations.The Knicks balked at Riley's demands, so he shifted his attention to Miami. The Heat - who joined the NBA as an expansion team in 1989 - failed to win more than 42 games in their first seven years in the league. Mickey Arison took control of the team in 1995 and didn't want to settle for mediocrity. Through a mutual friend, Arison started talking to Riley while he finished out his last year in New York. Riley presented a similar list of demands to Arison. He wanted a $50 million contract, a 10% ownership in the team upon signing, an additional 10% over time, a limo service to and from games, and a $500 per-diem. In addition to all of that, he asked that the Heat buy his homes in LA and New York. Arison agreed, and Riley took the command in 1995-96.During his first season in Miami, Riley traded for 30-year-old Tim Hardaway, a 3x All-Star who some thought was over the hill. On this episode, Hardaway takes us back to his first days in Miami and the Heat's breakout 1996-97 campaign. Joining Hardaway in South Beach in 1997 were Alonzo Mourning, Dan Majerle, Jamal Mashburn and PJ Brown. They won 61 games and had the #1 defense in the league. In the playoffs, they beat Orlando in Round 1, followed by an iconic 7-game, fight-filled ECSF vs. the Knicks, Riley's old team.Subscribe to Forgotten Seasons!

From 'DA's New York Accent' (Subscribe Here), California native Chris Childs was always built more like a New Yorker. He relished the big games, played an intense and demanding style of ball, and appreciated the transit workers and sanitation guys he saw every day on his way to the Garden. He helped steer the Knicks to their last NBA Finals appearance in 1999, and along the way battled the hated Heat almost every season. From the PJ Brown flip to the Van Gundy ride for life on Alonzo Mourning, the Knicks and Heat were the best soap opera of that NBA era. Childs talks about all of those memorable battles, why he still can't stand to listen to Tim Hardaway speak, and how New York will always be in his blood.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
