Dikembe Mutombo blocked more shots during his NBA career than anyone but Hakeem Olajuwon, and his defensive prowess alone could have made him a legend.
Mutombo terrorized opponents with his famous finger wag, a symbol of victory that often earned him fines, showcasing his confrontational style of defense.
Mutombo was not only a formidable presence on the court, but also an ambassador and humanitarian who gave much of himself to the community.
His passing at age 58 from brain cancer is a tragic loss, marking the end of an era for a player whose impact transcended basketball.
