Dang. A lovely man.
Seems to me the larger you are the harder it is to reach old age. Most old people I know are under 5'10 and 160 lbs.

Great bball player even greater man. RIP big fellow
Great Bball player, and even greater man. Sad to see him go so young :-(
Gosh, I'd lost track of him and didn't realize he was ill. His death at 58 is testimony to an old saying that the good die young.
As a Georgetown basketball fan back in the day, I remember his time there fondly. He went on to bigger fame in the NBA.
But the main thing is that in a world where star athletes are turned into celebrities and often learn the wrong lessons in the process, Dikembe stood apart for his class, his grace, his decency, and his virtue. He was an exemplary husband, father (of 7), and Christian.
The records and fame you leave behind. The reputation and contributions to others you take with you. Job well done...mission accomplished...RIP...
