Wow! Now that's a tough loss. He's finger wagging st Peter now
I always think of the image of him on the floor holding the ball when they upset the SuperSonics in the playoffs.
NOOOOOO!!!!
Dikembe . . . what a player. I'll bet his teammates loved playing basketball with him and having him on their team. He played defense, pulled rebounds and blocked shots . . . and didn't seek notoriety for himself.
Cancer sucks.

I was thinking about that earlier. That #8 vs #1 upset was one of the biggest playoff upsets in NBA history, and I remember it fondly. Just a great Cinderella story, and in spite of the fact that he is in the HoF, I don’t know that he’ll ever truly get the credit he deserves for being a defensive force throughout the 90s
Same. One of the classic NBA images.
As a Rockets fan growing up, always loved when he would play against Hakeem.
had to be after cause everybody knows that every single person in the world who died under the age of 75 the last 4 years got the jab ...
Funny I get it. I was genuinely curious, so looked it up and that post he made is what I immediately found. Got busy and didn’t see when he was diagnosed. I didn’t even know he had cancer.
