Shaquille O’Neal was very solid for the Miami Heat.  He helped them get their first (and only to this point) NBA Championship.  O’Neal played in 205 games (203 starts) in his four years with the Heat and he averaged 31.1 minutes, 19.6 points, 9.1 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.9 blocked shots per game.  O’Neal has retired from the NBA.  He played in 1,207 games (1,197 starts) in his NBA career and he averaged 34.7 minutes, 23.7 points, 10.9 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.3 blocked shots per game.  O’Neal finished his career #9 in rebounds in Miami Heat history (1,856) and #4 in blocked shots (384).  He also helped get D-Wade and Udonis Haslem their first NBA Championship rings.

Center Alonzo Mourning was a real class act for the Heat. He came back at the end of his career to the Heat with the idea of winning a championship (he did) despite having a very serious kidney injury that turned him into a back-up player. He played in 593 games in his career with the Heat averaging 29.8 minutes, 16.0 points, 8.1 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 2.7 blocked shots per game. Mourning is all over the record books for the Heat as he is #1 all-time in games played (593), #1 in minutes played (17,700), #2 in points scored (9,459), #1 in rebounds (4,807), #1 in blocked shots (1,625) and #9 in steals (304). Mourning is a class act who will go down as one of the best pro athletes ever to play in Miami.
