Horrible news. Loved him when he was with the Sixers. He seemed like a genuinely good guy too.

Huge RIP. He and Shaq are my two go-to big guys that always come to mind for me.

First thing that comes to mind hearing/reading his name is the finger wag and "No no no."

Far too young. Brain cancer is becoming far too prevalent these days.

RIP.

AI went bestrode in 01 but man Mutombo certainly did his part too.

Dude grew up in less than ideal circumstances and only attended college because of a USAID scholarship.

Nobody could stop Shaq back then but Mutombo did as good a job as anyone could possibly do.
