After the Miami/Detroit game 1, Rasheed was interviewed. He went on to say how much they still had to respect Miami and the big fella.

Rasheed said that.

This is the same guy, who with about 1:30 left, blocked a shot, then dove into the front row to save it.

Alonzo Mourning, on the other hand, has weaseled his way onto a playoff contender, hid behind Shaq so he only has to play against the other teams 'second team', and gets obnoxious after every play that he gets paid to perform. He swats the bejeezus out of the ball into the stands, and even the announcers say that "boy, I bet he wishes he could redo that, and try to contain the ball" or something like to that effect.

Remember when Zo was the smarter, classier basketball player (especially when compared to guys like Sheed)?
