Earvin Magic Johnson: I'm so heartbroken…

Earvin Magic Johnson: I am so heartbroken to learn of the passing of my dear friend and Basketball Hall of Famer Dikembe Mutombo. Not only was he a great basketball player who could protect the rim as an elite shot blocker, but he was also an incredible man with a pure heart of gold. He dedicated much of his life to serving others, as evidenced by his lasting influence in both the United States and Africa. Through his foundation, he helped build a remarkable $29 million hospital in his home country of Congo and personally donated $15 million to the project! As an NBA Global Ambassador and United Nations Goodwill Ambassador, he has received numerous well-deserved awards for his humanitarian efforts over the years. I will truly miss his big smile, his spirit and his powerful voice. Cookie and I are thinking and praying for his wife Rose, his children and the rest of his family during this incredibly difficult time. 🙏🏾
