This puts how long Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis (R) has been in the league. He played with former Carolina defensive end Al Wallace, 44, as a rookie In 2005. And Davis says he wants to play beyond this season. Rucker says he hasn't seen anyone hit harder than Davis, 35.

I have a story about Alonzo Mourning.

When I was a kid, I went to hornets games all the time back when they were at the Hive off Tyvola. After the games, Steve Martin or Gil mcGregor would interview a player on the court and fans would line up near the tunnel to get an autograph. I wasnt successfull most of the time, or my dad wanted to leave to avoid traffic, etc but the room where to stand would fill up quick. One game I got down there early and felt good about getting a signature, and Zo was the player to be interviewed. He came out and did his interview and when he was done he walked right by all the people standing there, a lot of kids, and completely disregarded the fans. To my knowledge it was sort of a tradition and expected for the player to sign a few signatures and Zo basically had better things to do. 

 Once people realized he wasn’t going to sign they begin to yel, boo, groan etc and start to leave. Zo stops right before he disappears into the tunnel and does a long pause with his back to the crowd chugs his Gatorade in an arrogant, like uneccesary fashion and shoots up a peace sign to the crowd before leaving. I don’t remember really ever going back to get an autograph after that. I will always remember that moment. This happened like 20-22 years ago.  

Same thing happened to me with (I am older) Harlem Globetrotter Meadowlark Lemon.  Curly Neal signed one, he was great, but Meadowlark blew off Channel 9 anchor Jack Callahan--who was in a wheelchair--then blew by me, nearly knocking me out of his way.  My dad, a racist, decided to use a popular slur on him, making Meadowlark stop and turn around.  (I was embarrassed).  Still, I got my Kodak Instamatic out and snapped a shot of Meadowlark Lemon and my dad squaring off in the old Charlotte Coliseum on Independence Blvd.  Dad played TE at South Carolina and was only about 28 at the time, so it would have been a good fight.  We left, jumping into the General Lee and driving home.  (Made up the last part so I could have a cool ending).
