NBA legend Dikembe Mutombo is dead. The 2.18 meter tall member of the basketball hall of fame was 58 years old. As the NBA announced, he died of a brain tumor surrounded by his family. Mutombo played in the North American professional league from 1991 to 2009 and was a defining figure for a long time. He was named to the NBA All-Star team eight times and was named Defensive Player of the Year twice. In 2015 Mutombo was inducted into the Hall of Fame. What became legendary was his index finger when he blocked an opponent's attack and said: "Not in my house."
