So many great players Mutombo and Chris Dolman both passed from brain cancer. Both were such giving souls.

One of the few basket ball players who was selfless on and off the court. A man with honesty and integrity. He built a hospital in his home town.

It’s iconic that moment he embraced the ball, he devastated my sonics

That 1994 Nuggets team was a great team. I felt that their core was a few years away from being a contender. What a shame it wasn't kept intact.

Man, he died so young - he's not even consideed "old" yet!

An absolute legend.
His legacy is immortal.
