Tough news about Mr. Mutombo - that was a great era of basketball card collecting with Shaq, Larry Johnson, etc.

So young as well, and it always seems to be the good ones.

I love his Upper Deck rookie card. He was an even better person off the court. He will be missed!

RIP Mutombo. World class guy on and off the court. Also owner of the best finger wag ever. He'll forever be blocking shots in my memories and NBA Jam on the SNES.

One of those I purged in a huge box of cards that I wish I hadn't.

I'll have to find another one.

That cancer got him so young - and then Pete Rose, horrible but more famous person, dying the same day overshadowed him - shows that life is just unfair

Yeah, I thought about that - Pete got 25 years more on Earth than Dikembe did.

Dikembe would have done a lot of good for the world with 25 more years.
