Dikembe was elected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2015 after 18 NBA seasons. A 4-time Defensive Player of the Year and 8-time All-Star, he was among the most impactful defensive players in NBA history.
“This celebration is not only a reflection of Dikembe’s remarkable life but also a testament to the values he championed – faith, dignity, and service to humanity,” said Dikembe’s wife Rose Mutombo. “We welcome all who were touched by his life to join us in remembering and honoring him.”
In a lasting tribute to Dikembe’s impactful work, the Mutombo Family has established the Dikembe Mutombo Memorial Fund (DMMF) to ensure the continuation of his vital projects for years to come. Donations can be made through the following link:
