Mutombo is a True International Treasure

In the HOUSTON CHRONICLE, Richard Justice writes "if you're really lucky, you get to meet a Dikembe Mutombo maybe once or twice in your life. He's a man of faith and charity, a man of humility and dignity. He understands that God blessed him with certain gifts and that with those gifts come responsibilities and opportunities. His smile lights up every room he enters. He laughs a lot and makes others laugh, too. Indeed, it's that booming laugh and raspy voice and huge smile that have made teammates laugh for all 17 of Mutombo's NBA seasons. Or maybe it's the way he still bounces down the hall on his way to the locker room, how he seems to look for the good in everyone and every day." (link)
