If it wasn't for Dikembe Mutombo, I would have blissfully sailed through childhood only dimly aware that there was an NBA. I don't remember if it was a trading card or some random magazine article but Mutombo was 7'2'' and from Zaire. (Which was a country back then, kids- I swear!) That was really, really cool to map obsessed, geography nut elementary/junior school me. (He was playing for the Denver Nuggets at the time, I believe.) So anything involving Dikembe Mutombo automatically has to be awesome.
