One of the most beloved athletes in South Florida sports history is going into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
Former Miami Heat center Alonzo Mourning received word Wednesday that he has been selected as a first-ballot inductee. For a professional athlete, there is no higher honor. Mourning, now an executive in the Heat’s front office, was at AmericanAirlines Arena on Thursday but did not speak with reporters.
