RIP Dikembe.
Made the finger-wag part of basketball iconography forever and so much more. A true loss for the world at large.

How active was Mutumbo lately? Past months, years? Brain cancer from what I know really debilitates you progrrssively. Weight gain can happen, slurred speech, you can droop one side of your face. Its heartbreaking seeing someone go through it. Theres a video of a brave girl I believe from the UK who filmed herself going through it (eventually succumbed to it) and its one of the saddest/shocking videos ive ever seen on YT. How she was in the beginning vs the end is two totally different ends of the stick.

RIP Mutombo.
That Nuggets-Sonics 1-8 upset playoff series is pretty wild to look back on.
Mutombo averaged 6 blocks a game, they held a the #2 offense in the league 9 points below their regular season offensive rating.

My aunt had brain cancer and the last six months were really rough. From walking around, conscionable to bedridden and unable to communicate.

On a non basketball point,
lots of west africans get rich and use their clout to come home and benefit from the pervasive corruption.
Mutombo really did amazing things, and and undoubtedly saved so many lives building a hospital, and all the other work he did
plus setting a good example for younger african players.
rich people in this countries tend not to care, about there broken medical care systems, because if they get sick they just fly to Canada/France/UK/US ect.
So RIP Mutombo, a truly great person on and off the court.

Damn, one of the smartest and most genuine players to touch the court. Was an effective NBA player literally up until his career ended. That 08 playoff run when Yao went down and he played major minutes will always stick with me.
RIP to a legend

RIP Dikembe.. living in Atlanta he was highly loved by the people here. I also met him twice, once at the gas station on North Avenue and once at Boston Market. He was friendly both times.
