By all accounts a great guy and amazing shot blocker. Sad to see this news. He has a semi famous part in UConn history. When Georgetown was going to be ranked #1 (in the 1989-90 season) with a win over UConn, the Huskies knocked off the Hoyas in the Hartford CC in one of the loudest games ever in that building. At one point during the game, Mutombo lined up during a free throw next to Nadav Henefeld and was trash talking him. The Dove then hit a couple of threes down the stretch to put the game away in one of the biggest wins in UConn history
