Adam Silver could not have hit the nail any better in the first line of his statement.
Dikembe Mutombo was larger than life, plain and simple.
I imagine that was one of the most deflating things you could experience during his era.
He sparked real change with the Dikembe Mutombo Foundation which helped improve lives in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
As always, cancer is the fucking worst.
We also shouldn’t overlook how awesome Mutombo was as an actor.
The voice, the finger wag, it all plays even all these years later.
A 1 of 1 player, and a 1 of 1 person.
May he rest in peace.
