From GU AthleticsQUOTE:Former Georgetown University men's basketball standout Dikembe Mutombo (SLL'91) was named the Humanitarian of the Year on Sunday at the National Basketball Retired Player Association Legends Brunch in Houston during All-Star weekend.
The Legends Brunch traditionally honors former NBA players and coaches who worked in, hail from or shared some other connection with the All-Star city each year. Congrats, Deke!

A well deserved honor for the man who saved the world in 4 1/2 weeks.

Maybe it was discussed in another thread and I missed it but what ever happened with his involvement in that gold deal?

I think the GEICO commercial turned the tide in favor of Dikembe. . .

Just saw Dikembe Mutombo speak at the annual Forbes Healthcare Summit about starting his hospital in the Congo and I can't stress how well he represents our university and how proud I was sitting there watching everyone around me start to tear up because of his passion. Attachments:
