First, the news of the Kimbe passing is sad and our prayers and thoughts go out to his
00:12
family.
00:13
But when you talk about a great human being, on and off the floor, the things that he did
00:25
for his country, the hospital, he's going to be dearly missed.
00:31
When you talk about an angel, unfortunately it was taken a little bit too soon.
00:38
It's a sad day, especially for us Africans and really the whole world because other than
00:47
what he's accomplished on the basketball court, I think he was even better off the court.
00:54
He's one of the guys that I look up to as far as having an impact, not just on the court,
01:04
but off the court.
01:05
He's done a lot of great things.
01:06
He had his great stint in Houston, which is where that kind of relationship built.
01:13
But like you said, the impact of him being a player and then after his retirement, him
01:19
globally impacting the game, it's meant a lot to this game.
01:23
So it's definitely a tragedy and it's devastating and we're definitely going to miss him and
01:29
what he's done, not only for myself, but for the entire game of basketball.
01:34
My fondest memory of Dikembe Mutombo, he fractured my face on my birthday in Cleveland with an elbow.
01:45
I never even got an opportunity to tell him about that, but yeah, I don't remember how
01:49
old I was in Cleveland, my first stint, and I think I was turning 22 maybe.
01:54
He was in Houston.
01:55
You can do some of the...
01:56
You guys can do the research.
01:57
Yep, he was in Houston and I went to the hole and caught one of those Dikembe elbows.
02:03
And if anybody know about the Dikembe elbows, they do not feel good.
02:08
He fractured my face and I went to the hospital that night and I wore a mask for a little bit.
02:13
Yeah.
02:14
Yeah.
02:15
So that is my memory of Dikembe.
02:19
Yeah.
02:20
Yeah.
