He was a pretty cool human as far as I have heard. Tremendous humanitarian. I had a friend who met him once. She said he was extraordinarily nice and humble. Of course she didn’t know about the wagging finger until I showed her.

How sad. I had heard he was ill, but didn’t know it was this bad. RIP.

Oh, that sucks. He had a Charles Barkley-like presence. Rest in peach Dikembe, we’ll always remember you guarding the rim like it was your front door.

I was always a huge fan of him, and loved that he and Jordan both did the finger wag to each other. The guy was a fierce defensive player in an offensive league.

I can still hear Stuart Scott in my head saying his full name. RIP Dikembe Mutombo Mpolondo Mukamba Jean-Jacques Wamutombo, and to Stuart Scott.

RIP…one of the greats when big man basketball was at its heights

Wow, dude was funny.

He was great for the NBA and a great human being. Loved his commercials. Sad to see he passed away.

Oh jesus…thats horrible. rip.

As a Nuggets fan, this hurts man, Mutombo was arguably the greatest Defensive Centers to have ever played the game outside of Ben Wallace.

The Finger Wag, his humbleness and kindness, everything really.

He will be greatly missed.

And How can I forget him beating the Supersonics, outside of the Chip winning year, the best playoff moment in Nuggets history.

Just sad man.
