Dikembe Mutombo is a recently naturalized NBA all-star dedicated to improving the lives of others. After studying at Georgetown University to further his interest in bringing a medical practice back to his native democratic Republic of the Congo, Mutombo was recruited onto the basketball team and has been playing ever since. Currently playing for the Houston Rockets, he spends his off season working as an NBA ambassador for African causes. Mutombo’s foundation has funded a large portion of a $27 million dollar hospital opening in Kinshasa, which will be the first new hospital in the Congo in 40 years.
