RIP!

[Tell It Right]

The three most probable causes of death are:

1. clot shot, or

2. knew too much on the Clintons, or

3. publicly stated that Medowlark had better ball handling skills than Jordan.

So sorry to hear that. He was a great player and embraced his shot blocker rep with that great Geico commercial. RIP, Deke.

Oh no!! Such a nice guy, too. In 1992, he used to live in an upscale apartment area near my lower rent starter place, that attracted a lot of the young pro sports guys. One day, I walked into the area 7-11 and was looking down only to see these ENORMOUS tennis shoes! Just like in a movie where the camera then slowly tilts upward, my eyes went from the huge feet, up, up, up, the long legs and long torso, up, up, up to the smiling face of Dikembe. The guy was huge! Super happy nice dude to the clerk and customers!

RIP, back when the NBA was good, not a political fart box.

I worked around him a couple of times. He seemed like a decent guy; not all them are.

I always liked Dikembe Mutombo. Loved his Geico commercials too. RIP.

Rest In Peace, Dikembe.

Deek was a fun player to watch. His post-game interviews were always entertaining.
