I admit I don't know enough about Mourning's game. From what I've read, I wouldn't take him above Embiid-Jokic. I may well be wrong.

If you happen to see any Heat games from 1999 or 2000, check them out. Zoe was a monster on both ends. He was one of the most dominant defensive players of the era, but he could also score in a multitude of ways.  In an era of good centers, Alonzo averaged 20 / 10 with nearly four blocks per game.

I don’t think that either Embiid or Jokic are in the conversation.  They are both extremely talented, but neither has shown the ability to dominate on both ends like Mourning.

Check out this comparison between Mourning and Embiid:

The year I chose for Embiid was 18-19 I believe.

And I believe Mourning had a better TEAM around him that Embiid does now...

Don't believe Zo had "A Unicorn of a PG that was reluctant to shoot".....

Zo appeared to be a black hole on offense as well....not sure how I could reconcile the assist numbers (maybe poster 'Somebody" could do this?)

It is all water under the bridge now, though...votes have been cast...favorites have been chosen...trades have been made already.

I enjoyed myself.

Just looking forward to the next one - and with hopefully a LARGER pool of players to chose from.

Alonzo Mourning was a black hole - he was like a smaller Ewing during his peak (strong scoring + elite defensive peak, but weak passing and low offensive portability).
