Byron Scott Recalls Alonzo Mourning’s Near-Death Practice

Scott recalled his first Nets coaching job with Mourning battling kidney issues, following transplant. “Trainer said his count is real low. If he practiced today, he could die,” Scott said. “I told Zo, shut it down. He yelled ‘f***!’ and walked off.” Doctors later said another two minutes of play “and he would have died on that court.”
