Hmmm, I will be real honest here and make a confession. Before today, I had no idea why Dikembe nickname was associated with Monty

Shoutout to the real Dikembe, who passed away last night. RIP

Only guy MJ hesitated to dunk on.

Defensive beast he was. Sad to hear of his passing. I think he was the defensive player of the year 4 times

Indeed.

Also blocks leader x3, rebounds leader x2

He just came across as a good guy!

Maybe too good for a NBA court. He might've been even better if he had been a bit more nasty.

His legacy is that he was a likable guy who played an honest game. A decent man is how I remember his playing days. A force on the court!

Very sad. I didn't realize he had brain cancer.

The upward trajectory Monty has shown since being claimed is nothing short of impressive. He is now just hitting his prime.
