Former United States President Barrack Obama has mourned the tragic death of Basketball legend Dikembe Mutombo
Obama said Mutombo’s legacy will live forever, as more athletes use their name and resources to improve others’ lives.
“Dikembe Mutombo was an incredible basketball player — one of the best shot blockers and defensive players of all time,” said Obama in a statement.
“But he also inspired a generation of young people across Africa, and his work as the NBA’s first global ambassador changed the way athletes think about their impact off the court. Michelle and I are thinking of Dikembe’s family and everyone who knew and loved him.”
