Dikembe Mutombo Passes Away at 58

Dikembe Mutombo, the legendary NBA player, has died at 58 after battling brain cancer. Known for his iconic "no" gesture after blocking shots, Mutombo was a dominant defender and one of the first African players in the NBA. Beyond basketball, he was an ambassador for the league and dedicated philanthropist, notably contributing $20 million to build a hospital in Kinshasa. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver expressed deep condolences to his family and the global basketball community.
