This sucks. Loved watching Dikembe with the Nuggets. He was one of my first non Suns favorite players. I'll never forget him celebrating after the Nuggets beat the #1 seed Sonics after being down 0-2 in the 94 playoffs.

RIP Dikembe. He always seemed so happy and I don't recall hearing anything negative about him other than how painful his elbows were.

Too soon. What a character he was.

Not only was he a great player but more importantly a great humanitarian. Gone way too soon. RIP.

Wanted the Suns to get him as a backup C during his twilight years. RIP.
