He only wanted to become a Doctor so he could treat people in his hometown but because He was 7'2, a Basketball coach got interested in him and invited him to try out. Then he used his earnings to build community hospitals along with the help of the NBA and that's why the NBA is so proud of him. I look up to him as my inspiration by being a nice, gentle and smart Man. Thank you Mr. Dikembe Mutombo aka "Mt. Mutombo" #55.
Dikembe’s voice is the quintessential mix of African swag and Louis Armstrong. My man was such a great ambassador for basketball and for how to be a human being.
This man is my favourite player ever, apparently when my dad watched him, every time he got a block all he would do is shout, MUTOMBO! And then his dad (my grandpa) would come in and be like, 'how many did he get?' LOOOL
RIP Legend!! You were by far the kindest human & NBA player I've ever met. Your generosity to the Global Community is unmatched! Charity begins at home, and Congo was always in your giving.
Dikembe Mutombo is a class Act! Humble, kind & generous man! He assisted in building a hospital in his country in Africa so poor people have access to affordable medical care! 👏👏👏👍
Great player! Even better person! I've finally forgiven him for beating my Sonics in 1994. I was a little kid and I remember crying my eyes out. Keep up the great work, #55!
Man what an awesome speech! So proud of him for that. And I loved the part where he was thankful for playing with AI and said he'd be standing there in Springfield one day. YES!
This is an African legend who made it in NBA guy's. So humble and always out helping communities. In our country where he's from we asking him to consider running for presidency office. Great stuff dikember's as we call you back home big man. Much love
Great speech Mount Mutombo !! Dikembe Mutombo Mpolondo Mukamba Jean-Jacques Wamutombo we salute you, i'll never forget watching him as a kid, his impact on & off the court: 8th seed Nuggets knocking off the Supersonics from their 1st seed and building that much needed hospital in the Congo. 4x (DPOY) recipient- "No man fly in the house of Mutombo". NBA's first & only global ambassador. Indeed a true champion in the hearts of many. Thank you for helping raise the bar !!!
The cookie monster, The Legend, The Man, I'm so happy for Dikembe. You are the man a part of the NBA, and my childhood. Thank you. I literally cry when he said: The son of Congo, that came to America with nothing, and now I'm part of the NBA history. My man.
No matter what you laugh at is voice he still making money & achieving many things. Thank you Mutombo cause I Cary also your last name so proud of you as Congolese
Yes..He is rich not only with coins but with beautiful human values...so keep laughing at his voice but know that he has achieved more than your forefathers with all the “privileges”some were born with...He came from a humble background,not knowing how to speak or write in English but today’s his name is written in the Hall of famers and he has built back home a entire hospital helping people on a daily basis...so don’t know who got the last laugh...Proudly Congolese 😍✌🏿
DJ Get At 'Em where are you from, how old are you. He is not the a goat at all, and I agree with you about on one thing about this man is the greatest of all time in defense.
PROUD OF YOU BRO!!!! DRC FOR EVERY!!! COLLEGE BOBOTO FOR EVER!!!! DRC ELOKO YA MAKASIIII! PROUD TO BE CONGOLESE!!!! YOU MADE US ALL SHINE THROUGH YOUR ACHIEVEMENT!!!
He is an amazing player...Apart from that he is an amazing and great human...He did so many things for his country and society...Really great personality...
Proof that an appreciation for the defensive end of the floor isn't dead among those who really love basketball. I met Mr. Mutombo years ago, decades really, and he was a kind man, the entire reservation came out because no NBA player had every visited us before. He did a short basketball camp for the kids and it is something I'll never forget. Really nice guy.
ApisGaming I do not got your comment at all calling Dikember yoda, you do not like yourself, or anybody else, and how stupid can you be with this very dumd comment.
Wow! I didn't know Coach Thompson was SO tall.These are impressive looking men. Really enjoy Dikembe's voice.I wonder if anyone else in his family has similar voice 😄
Ethan Rucker that is your opinion of this man that made the hall of fame, that he is a cookie monster, that is not my opinion of this hall of famer at all, and this is a very up standing man to me.
Daniel Martz stop being so sensitive he not dissing Mutombo game r even has a person he is basically only saying he has a deep raspy voice that is similar to the cookie monster it's a joke so it's ok to laugh.🙄
One of the true great defenders of all time (finger wag). LOL his voice has always been like that. He could sing Louis Armstrong's - What a wonderful world hahaha. But a great and kind human being all around.
It sickens me how instead of honoring a great career by one of the greatest people you'll ever meet, ppl trash him for his voice. Does it matter how he talks? Geez!
@@tripasdediablo8219He was a four time DPOTY, one of the greatest shot blockers of all time, spearheaded one of the greatest playoff upsets in NBA history, and was the second best player on an NBA Finalist (2001 76ers). It took Michael Jordan years to finally dunk on Mutombo once. He was a legend. Cut the crap.
no matter what others(me included) will call him it doesn't bother him so much as to make an impact to the game and sowed fear to his opponents by swatting all attempts in their faces.... i salute you Mr.M. with UTMOST RESPECT !!!!!!
Very inspirational speech from Dikembe!! Keep it up man!! One of the best basketball players (but most of all, one of the best human beings) to have ever set foot on this earth
Loving this one thanks for sharing very information blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Coming here after the death of Mutombo. He was a larger than life person. Not only being the best shotblockers and defenders of the NBA, but also the best humanitarian coming straight out of it. Rest well Mount Mutombo❤!
It was said that IF you could conquer Mount Mutombo on the basketball court you could conquer anything. Many tried and many failed in the course of their NBA careers in that undertaking. Three Cheers for Dikimba Mutombo!
Dikembe Mutombo is Cookie Monster Cookie has 5 letters. 5, five has four letters. You know what else has four letters? Elmo. Elmo is on Sesame Street. Sesame Street has 4 sylabols. 4. You know what has 4 letters? Hawk. Dikembe Mutumbo played for the hawks.
I was going to comment but Dikembe Mutombo blocked it!
Kevin Luna ahah no no no

Easily one of the top 10 most nicest human beings on earth. We need more Mutombos in the world
THE GOAT. GREATEST OF ALL TIME. (IN DEFENSE)

+Ben Rodman was know for hustle and rebounding, not defense
DJ Get At 'Em where are you from, how old are you. He is not the a goat at all, and I agree with you about on one thing about this man is the greatest of all time in defense.
You are clueless, Rodman is known as one of the best defenders of all time.

UploadVidZ It's called a tailor

Rest in peace, Dikembee Mutombo.
Wow! I didn't know Coach Thompson was SO tall.These are impressive looking men. Really enjoy Dikembe's voice.I wonder if anyone else in his family has similar voice 😄
Definitely one of the greatest acceptance speeches of all time hands down! GLORY TO THE LAMB BLESSINGS FOREVER!
RIP Legend😢
I just love this guy, his a great human being❤❤❤❤❤❤
*close your eyes* cookie monster made the hall of fame
Ethan Rucker that is your opinion of this man that made the hall of fame, that he is a cookie monster, that is not my opinion of this hall of famer at all, and this is a very up standing man to me.

great DM I love his speech.
All 3 are gone less than 10 years later. Very sad!
One of the true great defenders of all time (finger wag). LOL his voice has always been like that. He could sing Louis Armstrong's - What a wonderful world hahaha. But a great and kind human being all around.
R.I.P 😢😢😢😔❤
Just bought a 55 Knicks Mutombo jersey not bc he was a great Knick but bc he's a great human. Everybody loves Mutombo
Outstanding speech, just outstanding and full of class!
He should try voice acting, he would be a beast.
They probably would cast him for the voice of a beast.
A true legend!
Love his voice, one of the greatest defensive players ever, one of the biggest hearts in the NBA.
It sickens me how instead of honoring a great career by one of the greatest people you'll ever meet, ppl trash him for his voice. Does it matter how he talks? Geez!
while the spezch is great when you actually listen I can see the voice being a bit distracting
That generic Gaming channel He can't help it.
KWCline91 I know he can't so I wouldn't hate on him and the cookie monster jokes are crazy
+KWCline91 i love his voice
It does not matter how he talks. But it is obvious that he has a peculiar voice :)
Dikembe should literally narrate everything.
He sounds like he should be voice acting for Star Wars like some jar jar binks shit.
Anybody trying to hate on his voice, come back when you speak 9 Languages!
He speaks 9 of them?
One of the greatest centres to ever play the game
