Hakws too. Deke was a part of my favorite college team of all-time, when he and Zo formed that incredible Twin Towers lineup at Georgetown in the early 90s. NBA fans worldwide will miss you, Deke...
Sucks for him, he's a classy guy.

That's a damn shame. By all accounts he's one of the good guys in sports. No one should have their career end like this, least of all Mount Mutombo.
Kudos to Portland for sending him off with one last round of applause.
Damn that just blows. Great guy on and off the court. Sucks he has to go out this way, but hes had a good career he has made an impact in many peoples lives. I wish him nothing but the best and a quick recovery.
Deke is a bad ass. He's like the living version of what Alonzo Mourning pretended to be.
The NBA is better for him being a part of it
P.S.
This just reinforces how thankful I am of how David Robinson was able to end his career. It would have been devastating to see Robinson's career end due to injury.
Championship, on the other hand, was rather nice
bwwwaaaahaaaahahhhaaaa!
dont worry, we will give him a ring this yearDeke is a bad ass. He's like the living version of what Alonzo Mourning pretended to be.

That's a messed up way to end the career of my favourite center of all time.
Outstanding pro, outstanding career, outstanding humanitarian work.
He will not be easily forgotten.

what do you want to make the ring of? got?dont worry, we will give him a ring this year
i see. everything is on purpose. hahah
I guess that's that. Such a nasty way to go out, but he handled it with the class that has been the hallmark of his career. For as little as I like the Houston sports media, and especially the Rockets coverage, they always did a great job of shining a light on all the great things that Mutombo did off the court. There is not a single player in league that couldn't learn a thing or two from his example.
If you don't feel bad for him after last night you have problems given how humble he is and how kind hearted he is.
not if the rockettes cant beat a bunch of rookies.dont worry, we will give him a ring this year
I sincerely got sad to see him go down like that...
He is a legend and a great person, all the best to him!
Too bad his career ends like that
Tombo pulling a Bynum, sad sight to see.
Here are my thoughts on Deke: I love the guy. A great player, always gave it his all. I still remember when he was with us back in the late 90's, I was only little kid back then but I still remember Deke, Steve Smitty and Mookie Blaylock. Those we're our final years before we started sucking, those three were great players especially Deke. Deke could rebound, could score and he just never gave up defensively. I love this guy's heart and it's a shame that his career may end this way.
I love you Dikembe, thanks for what you did for the Hawks organization during your time here. Thanks for always being classy. Thank you.
As unfortunate a way to go out as this is, at least the big man got one last chance to show what he could do, and took advantage. Dikembe was awesome in Game One. He didn't just look younger than Oden- he played younger.
that's the way to go out in my opinion. Play till you just cant play anymore. Don't waste any oppurtunity. Here's to you Dikembe
Sad to see that an injury ended the career of such a player.
Great person on and off the court. His jersey should be retired by the Nuggets, Hawks and Rockets. Moreover, he should be a lock in the HOF IMO.
What about Philly? He did take them to the Finals...Sad to see that an injury ended the career of such a player.

Honestly, any fanbase was lucky to have Deke root for them. I'm a Spurs fan first, but being in Houston, you couldn't help but root for him (as long as the Rockets weren't playing the Spurs).
Bummer, i'll never forget him with the nuggets taking out Seattle as an 8th seed. IMO the biggest upset in playoff history...
the entire league should retire 55. god bless mutombo. he will be missed. everybody that can, i urge you to go to dmf.org and donate as much as you can to help dekes cause. he can donate prescious little of his own on the vets min the rockets gave him.
Never want to see anyone get hurt, to have injury end a storied career is horrible. He is one of the good guys, a class act. I wish him well, and thank him for what he brought to this game on and off the court.
