Zo All-Time Heat Scorer

Alonzo Mourning, aquired from the Charlotte Hornets back in 1995 for Glen Rice, has now surpassed Rice in Heat lore once again - this time as the all-time leading scorer.

Zo tied "G-Money" in the loss to Toronto, but scored 4 points in the win tonight over the Timberwolves to go to 9,252 points scored in a Heat uni - 4 more points than Rice's 9,248 career total with the Heat.

This latest accomplishment solidifies Zo among the rest of the Heat's constellation of players. He is a champion, and now all-time franchise leader in scoring - hopefully two prerequisites to a hall of fame nomination.

Regardless, this puts things in proper perspective for Zo who had to overcome a critical kidney disease that sidelined and almost ended his career. To get to where he is now after that black October in 2000 is truly miraculous. Congratulations, Zo, on becoming the all-time franchise leader - and on being one heck of an icon for this team and its fans.
