    I’m still sad about this. Was just thinking about this.


    I loved that 2009 team. It had so much character and played with joy. You can tell there was love behind those imitations of Dikembe.

    Was just watching the Highlights of Mutumbo and Dream at the NBA Africa cares game and noticed Mutumbo does his one finger salute after Dream drops in a dream shake.

    Terrible news. Yes, cancer is horrific and I’ve lost people close to me because of it. Dikembe was way too young.

    Wow...all this death happening. I'm spending too much mourning all the great ones. My condolences to his family and those affected by his good deeds.

    God speed Mutombo...rest well.
