    Dikembe Mutombo went to the US to become a doctor so he could then help the people in his country. He ended up becoming an all time great basketball player and then helping many more people in many more countries.
    I take my hat off and stand to salute him. Dikembe Mutombo definitely is one of the greatest and most influential athletes of all time!

    He wanted to be a Doctor to give service for his Homeland. But He was recruited to the Basketball team because he was so tall (7"2). He became successful and fulfilled even more than his main goal by raising funds for Hospitals, Schools and Basketball Courts. Thank you Mr. Dikembe "Mt. Mutombo" Mutombo.

      True but the Hawks were also a contending team while the Nuggets were regressing fast. I couldn’t blame the man for making a business decision.
