About a decade ago, Dikembe’s father was getting treatment at the same dialysis center as my grandmother in Atlanta. One day when she was too weak to walk to her car, he was kind enough to offer to carry her to it. He was a truly kind man and an Atlanta legend. RIP Dikembe

I saw Dikembe play once in Rhode Island when I was a teenager. He was in some ‘minor league’ basketball league ( way before he was in the NBA ). It was ridiculous how much better he was than anyone else on the court.

Damn, met him once when my uncle worked security at the old Omni. Super nice guy.

Great player on the court, and seemed to be a better human being off of it. Adopted his brother’s kids. Regularly involved in humanitarian work. And always had that infectious smile and laugh.

Noooooo 😭☝️

Huge loss for the African community he helped expand the game globally. My favorite moment is when he and Olajuwon had the first nba exhibition game in africa[https://youtu.be/PrbjZVT6eHI?si=Hfwi6zR7TMpmX9O-](https://youtu.be/PrbjZVT6eHI?si=Hfwi6zR7TMpmX9O-)

I was always a huge fan of Mutombo. He was a great player (truly underrated in many respects), and by all accounts, an even better person. I’m sad for family and friends; he was loved all over the world.
We’ll miss you, Dikembe!

I still remember going to one of the first games at Philips Arena…seeing him block Pippen like 2-3 times in a row and shaking his finger at him live and in person. He was so worthy of his nickname Mount Mutombo. He was an ENORMOUS human being, but also seemed like such a good natured man.
RIP.
