This ain’t right!!! He literally fed & birth thousands due to puttin 18 mil of his own money for a hospital & his countless other endeavors.

Rest in Power “NO NO NO” Dikembe Mutombo!

R.I.P. to one of nicest, kindest individuals ever, not just in sports. He had a heart of gold. A part of my childhood sports memories.

RIP one of the first things I remember from watching NBA as a kid was the great upset by Dikembe and the Nuggets

and they almost got the Jazz in the next round. They were down 0-3 and in game 4 Reggie Williams hit the game winner. They won games 5 and 6, but the Jazz won game 7. I was cheering for the Nuggets to win that series because that was a good story. The Jazz for some reason had classic games against the Nuggets. That same season was the game in which Robert Pack and Rodney Rogers by themselves created an 8 point comeback against the Jazz in like 21 seconds or so.

My favorite memory of him.

And his consistent joy at the 2001 all star game where the East was outgunned due to a lack of big men and won . He couldn’t hide his joy that game.
