"Old men are dangerous, because they no longer care what will happen to the world." — Anonymous 


Dikembe Mutombo is fuming mad. The Houston Rockets center and Georgetown alumnus has threatened to ask NBA commissioner David Stern to put a stop to all the jokes about his age. Of course, I wouldn’t really know what Stern can do about other people’s humor, so that won’t get too far. When did it merit a technical foul or suspension to crack a joke?

                    [Summary] => 



Growing up loving soccer, basketball was farthest from his mind when Dikembe Mutombo came to the US in 1987 on an academic scholarship to attend Georgetown University. As a premed major, he wanted to return to the Congo as a doctor. 


The 7'2" Mutombo was invited by Georgetown basketball coach John Thompson to try out for the team, and under his guidance made him what he is today, giving him maturity and education, the tools to succeed. Mutombo respects Coach Thompson so much that he doesn't call him coach, he calls him "Pop".

Growing up loving soccer, basketball was farthest from his mind when Dikembe Mutombo came to the US in 1987 on an academic scholarship to attend Georgetown University. As a premed major, he wanted to return to the Congo as a doctor. 


The 7'2" Mutombo was invited by Georgetown basketball coach John Thompson to try out for the team, and under his guidance made him what he is today, giving him maturity and education, the tools to succeed. Mutombo respects Coach Thompson so much that he doesn't call him coach, he calls him "Pop".
