Alonzo Mourning has announced his intentions to return to the Miami Heat to help Jason Williams and Antoine Walker defend their NBA championship. Mourning was reportedly getting some attention and offers from other teams, including the San Antonio Spurs, but in the end, the allure of playing another year with Antoine Walker was just too much for him to pass up.

The back-up center for the Heat, of course, is an inspirational story as well, having come back from a life-threatening kidney disease. He doesn't play a ton of minutes these days, but his health doesn't appear to be a huge factor anymore. At least, it didn't, up until he suffered this massive seizure in the NBA Finals.
