It's sad to see him go, especially considering the way he received his career ending injury last year.
If Mourning didn't have that kidney transplant, he would have been one of the best centers ever. Seeing him work hard to get back to the game even though he's been through a lot of physical pain is just straight out inspiring.

Glad he retired. Their was a rumor that Boston was interested in him. That would have made me sick if he were a celtic.
