Always thought he was mediocre. Him and Mourning underachieved in college, then he didn’t do much in pros. Can’t believe he’s in the Hall of Fame. Hope he wins this battle, though.

He was a hard guy not to like on the court. All the best to him and his family

One the the greatest shot blockers to ever play in NBA. Has done humanitarian work. Love his commercials. Get well soon Dikembe.

The world needs more Dikembe Mutombo's in it.
Rest in Peace big fella.

Damn - hate to hear this.

Remember when he and ‘Zo came into the league.

He was a good man - did a lot more than many NBA athletes. His off court achievements rightfully out shined anything done on the court. Good player - greater human.

RIP

That’s the thing with cancer - you get it young, you think you have health on your side and a chance of beating it.

At the same time - when it comes on in someone young - it’s typically fast spreading and agressive in nature.
