Seven-time All-Star center Alonzo Mourning has officially retired after 15 season in the NBA.

“When you’ve got something you love and you’re passionate about, it’s hard to let that go,” Mourning said. “But at 38 I feel I’ve physically done all I can for this game. It has been an amazing ride.”

Mourning will be remembered as a very hard worker and a very solid center.

“He was the very best thing that ever happened to this franchise,” Miami Heat president Pat Rileysaid . “He will always be respected by Micky and myself for being the taproot of a culture that we’re really proud of. He embodies that.”

Many people consider him a future hall of famer, do you?
