Hoya's Mutombo passes

[SmyrnaCatFan]

Dikembe Mutombo has passed away from brain cancer. I really didn't follow him in the NBA but I remember him playing for Georgetown. His finger wagging deep bass laugh in the various TV commercials endeared him to many people. Seems he did much charity work in his native Republic of the Congo. Rest In Peace big man.​

He was a HOF player and person. He donated a ton of money to those less fortunate. RIP

Sad news; I really liked him.

The basketball world has lost at least 3 big men in the last year that I know of. Eric Montross, Bill Walton & now Dikembe Mutombo. All 3 were really good guys. Seems like if it wasn't for bad news there would be no news.

Rest In Peace to the human fly swatter.

 

[Deli owl]

I hate when I read people my age die. It brings scary things to mind. Way too you for this man.

 

[Noxium322]

R.I.P.

Very sad to hear. Enjoyed him as a player and liked his commercials. Sad day in sports losing a great one and at such an early age.

That’s really sad. 58 is too young to go. He seemed like a genuinely nice man who was gonna use his celebrity and fortune for the best causes in his native land. RIP big man. One of the GOATS of the big men.

Weird flex on my post,, but ok..

RIP Dikembe, this one really shocked me to see. Feels like it wasn't that long ago he was still blocking shots in the league.

Mt. Mutombo was one of the good guys. He helped thousands of people with his charities, and he provided MJ with one of the most iconic moments of his career.

I have a feeling this guy was a real one and is now with Christ. He ascended the only mountain that really matters.

Pete Rose also died today..

My apologies, I thought I chose the sad emoji. My sympathies to his family and all baseball fans.

 

[KyCatFan]

Pete Rose also died today..

Both dying the same day. I wouldn't have bet on that happening (to soon?).

 

[LmdCat]

Great player but even a better person!! I know it isn't true, but it feels like the good die young.

 

[LmdCat]

Pete Rose also died today..

He may never be recognized as such, but he should be in the Hall of Fame. He was one of the best to ever play the game.

You are a sad individual.

You can remove it, so why haven't you?

 

[SmyrnaCatFan]

You can remove it, so why haven't you?

Because I'm a doofus who couldn't figure out how until I got help. My apologies to all who were offended.
