that quote is fitting, cause it's always been about way more than basketball with him

That's really too bad. Seems like a really good guy. Great character. Real classy and generous.
He'll be missed for sure.

I think the NBA told him as long as he waves his finger towards to crowd, it's fine... But if he was waving it in someone's face, he'dget T'd up...
Hall of Famer?

He was never the best at his position over the course of a season.
But I think he is.

Thanks for everything Mount Mutumbo
I'm sad to see you go, believe it or not. I didn't think I could care this much, but your presence in theleague has been almost as long as my presence on EARTH. It's kinda hard to see the NBA w/o you

Yes He'll always be good money in my book for his Denver and Philly stint.
Favorite moment from him came when MJ Dunked on him gave him the finger waive and he laughed.
Great Person.

Things I appreciate
1) Finger wagging; iconic move
2) His foundation; just shows the size of this man's heart

One of the few Georgetown Centers of that generation I respect.
Wish he could of been Healthy all year when he was on the Nets.
Sad what happened last night especially for it to be against someone that is younger than him but looks like he is 20 years older than Mutombo.

Deke is def appreciated.
The finger WAG imo is almost iconic as the fadaway or tongue out on the playground court. I remember doing it if I blocked or shot, or even playing a videogame.
And of course he was seemingly a great guy.

Sat to see him go out like that but he had 18 great years

"I've had a wonderful 18 years of staying injury-free, so I just want to go out with my head up, no regrets," he said.
This guy has one of the biggest hearts on and off the court... I always appreciated him for that...
Sad way to end a great career...
