Announcement by family here (EU blocked). Picked on some pools on here. Think this means that Herb Wilkinson (wiki), 100, is now the oldest living BAA (the former NBA) basketball player. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrWonderful 469 Posted Monday at 15:26 33 minutes ago, RetroGamer47 said: Dikembe Mutombo has died at 58. Hit #17 for me this year. Sadly, this was the outcome I feared for him back when it was reported that he was diagnosed with a brain tumor in October 2022; it sounded like a glioblastoma situation and that's probably what it was. So he made it for just about 2 years after that, and that's on the long end of the typical spectrum for this horrible cancer. RIP, Dikembe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had totally forgotten he was diagnosed until I read your comment. Thought this was much more of a sudden thing. Big loss for the NBA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
