One of the most iconic NBA stars of the past 30 years has passed away.
Dikembe Mutombo, a native of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, has passed away at the age of 58 after a battle with brain cancer.

He would finish his 19-year career for the Nuggets, Hawks, 76ers, Nets, Knicks, and Rockets with just under three blocks per game.

For the diehard NBA fans out there, Monday marked the official start of the 2024-25 season with media days taking place around the league. The Brooklyn Nets held media availability on Monday, and in what may be seen as a surprise to some, Ben Simmons was in attendance and spoke with reporters.
