Dikembe Mutombo Mpolondo Mukamba Jean-Jacques Wamutombo[1] (born June 25, 1966), commonly referred to as Dikembe Mutombo, is a Congolese American retired professional basketball player who played 18 seasons in the National Basketball Association (NBA). Outside basketball, he has become known for his humanitarian work.
The 7 ft 2 in (2.18 m), 260-pound (120 kg; 19 st) center, who began his career with the Georgetown Hoyas, is commonly regarded as one of the greatest shot blockers and defensive players of all time, winning the NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award four times; he was also an eight-time All-Star. On January 10, 2007, he surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the second most prolific shot blocker in NBA history, behind only Hakeem Olajuwon. He averaged a double-double for most of his career, and is 12th all-time in career double-doubles,[2] and tied for second all-time in career triple doubles involving points, rebounds and blocks.[3]

At the conclusion of the 2009 NBA playoffs, Mutombo announced his retirement.

Dikembe Mutombo was born on June 25, 1966 in Léopoldville, Democratic Republic of the Congo as one of twelve children to Samuel and Biamba Marie Mutombo.[4][5] He speaks English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and five Central African varieties.[6] He is a member of the Luba ethnic group.[7] He moved to the United States in 1987 at the age of 21 to enroll in college.[8]
Mutombo attended Georgetown University on a USAID scholarship, and his original intention was to become a doctor; however, the Georgetown Hoyas basketball coach John Thompson recruited him to play basketball.[9][10] He spoke almost no English when he arrived at Georgetown and studied in the ESL program.[11][12] During his first year of college basketball as a sophomore, Mutombo once blocked twelve shots in a game.[13] Building on the shot-blocking power of Mutombo and teammate Alonzo Mourning, Georgetown fans created a "Rejection Row" section under the basket, adding a big silhouette of an outstretched hand to a banner for each shot blocked during the game.[14][15]

While at Georgetown, Mutombo's international background and interests stood out. Like many other Washington-area college students, he served as a summer intern, once for the Congress of the United States and once for the World Bank.[16] In 1991 he graduated with bachelor's degrees in linguistics and diplomacy.[17]
