Sports Great Dikembe Mutombo
|
| | | Growing up in Zaire, currently known as the Democratic Republic of Congo, seven-foot two-inch Dikembe Mutombo did not expect to be an all-star basketball player, He attended Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., on an academic scholarship before his height caught the attention of head basketball coach John Thompson. At Georgetown, Mutombo became a defensive star, and was drafted by the Denver Nuggets in 1991. Now with the Atlanta Hawks, Mutombo has won multiple Defensive Player of the Year awards, and is a yearly selection to the NBA All-Star Game.
