That's really too bad...he had a long and productive career, and he is a future HOFer IMO.

One of the great all-time defensive players, and one of the most charitable guys in all of sports.

I saw the footage during the laker game and it was tough to watch. Sad for him to go like this

It's too bad he couldn't finish out the Playoffs. It's like a pretty anticlimactic end to his career.
That makes Shaq the longest-extant player in the NBA.

Sad to see it end that way, he had a great career in the NBA.

I just double-checked all NBA rosters, and Mutombo is indeed the only player who was born in the '60s, so we don't have any left now. All current players are born in either the '70s or '80s. Next season marks the first where a 1990s born player will enter the league (Rubio was born in 1990; Mutombo was already 24 then, lol).

Great article on his impact on and off the court. He was so fun to watch. How many 5 footers wagged their fingers after the occasional block on a big man?
