Miami Gets the Groove Back, Again

July 12 ,2010

There is no doubt that the recent acquisitions of Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh will define the Miami Heat for years to come. However, this trio will never touch the soul of the Heat community that one Alonzo Mourning did and still does. From his passionate roars on the court to his compassionate gestures off the court, Zo is symbolic of what the Heat organization is all about. And this week he will bring back his Summer Groove to South Florida to continue the legacy of humility and sympathy established over a decade ago.

Following in the footsteps of Mourning is Wade, who joined Zo's cause just two years ago and hopes to cement his own legacy in the same likeness of the future Hall of Fame center. From July 14 through the 18, these two Miami stars will join forces for The Summer Groove in an effort to fund the Alonzo Mourning Charities and Wade's World Foundation.
