The basketball world lost a legend last month when the great Dikembe Mutombo died at the age of 58 due to brain cancer. The dominant center spent 18 years in the NBA blocking shots and waving his finger at opponents who dared to challenge him in the paint.
Mutombo's name came up during TNT's Timberwolves-Lakers broadcast on Tuesday night when Ian Eagle mentioned that Minnesota's Rudy Gobert had joined Mutombo and Ben Wallace as four-time winners of the NBA's Defensive Player of the Year award.
