    I didn't see anything on this. Proud that he wore a Rockets Uniform. From a boy who had to cut his shoes so he could fit in them, to man who opened a hospital in his home town! This is bigger than Basketball and definitely more important than any accolade any player could achieve. Thank You Mutombo for showing One Man can really change the World!

    Man Sager gets a lot of praise for someone that left his "first family" and even cut his own children out of his will to marry a younger hotter wife and start a second family.

    His son from first marraige who even shares his name donated bone marrow to his dad twice. Not left one cent. Everything left to his second wife after his will was revised.

    Disappointing this man keeps being held up like a huge role model just because he had cancer. Straight up just left his family

    I would just chalk this up to a typical divorce situation. But his children especially craig sager II seemed pretty dissapointed in him after he died.
