Alonzo is one of the highest character players of all time. I remember one story about him holding up traffic to let some senior citizen cross the street. You'd think he could just buy that merit badge.

 

I wonder if the accident was a paint-scratcher, so Mourning (and the other drivers) thought it was no big deal and he left. Later, one of the drivers realized that he had a case against a guy worth tens of millions of dollars. That article says the driver was seeking damages from Mourning, but it doesn't mention the second driver. You know, the one who hit him in the first place? Wouldn't he be the primary target of the lawsuit cannon if Mourning weren't rich?
