Dikembe was not just an excellent basketball player. He was an excellent human being, too. He will definitely be missed. That's for sure.

Dikembe Mutombo was a true and a source of pride for Africa. He gave generously, both his love and financial support, to his hometown, building schools, creating opportunities for young people to play basketball, and establishing hospitals in a region where 7.5 million live in poverty. It's heartbreaking that life is so uncertain and unfair—good people like him are taken too soon, often by illnesses like cancer. The world needs more people like Mutombo, whose efforts made it a better place, to live long and continue their impact. Rest in peace, Dikembe Mutombo.

What a cool person! And interesting to hear a first-hand account from DRCongo from 20 years ago. Sounds like Mutombo was really doing his best 🖤
