Horrible news. Loved him when he was with the Sixers. He seemed like a genuinely good guy too.
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.
Super smart and knowledgeable guy too. He could name the currents heads of government of every country.When I was a kid watching the 90s, Dikembe Mutombo was one of my favorites. By all accounts, he was even bigger a person, a philanthropist, and humanitarian than he ever was as a player (and Dikembe as a player was already huge, a deserving HOFer).
The world is so much less without him. May he rest in peace, paradise, and power.
