Dikembe Mutombo, the legendary basketball player from the DR Congo, died last month aged 52 from brain cancer.

He was a giant of a man and giant of the game of basketball, winning many awards from the NBA as an all-star defensive player.

He was also committed to using his influence to nurture basketball talent in Africa, and also bring about change through education, healthcare and humanitarian projects.

We look back on his life with two people who knew him well: Amadou Gallo Fall, President of the Basketball Africa League, and Roger Muntu, an old friend.
