RIP to NBA Hall of Famer and Humanitarian Dikembe Mutombo (June 25, 1966 -September 30, 2024)

[Hawala Man]

Iconic and legendary NBA player who went back to Africa and assisted his people he was the pioneer of what most are doing today.

Whenever the teams he played on were on the road (late 90) he would give out tickets to family and associates as a way of keeping in touch.

Rare breed and one of a kind.

No. No. No

I have seen him live a few times over his career but I remember when he played the Nets had to be 96-97 and Mutumbo was on the Hawks. It felt like he was blocking everything.

Great player. Even better human being.

RIP. Rest in Power.
