I've met Dikembe twice. The first time was at an African party here in DC back in 1988 or 89. There were a bunch on Nigerian guys there who were all about 5'6" or 5'7" and then Mutombo shows up and the Nigerians are all cracking jokes like "how's the air up there?" Luckily (for them) he's got a pretty good sense of humor. Second time I met him was in the Atlanta airport when he was with the Hawks. We were both waiting for luggage at the same carousel. I remember shaking his hand and being in awe. Talked to him for 5-10 minutes. Nice guy.
I heard the story about him walking into a party and bellowing this for the benefit of all the females present. This was when I lived in Virginia and it was a "friend of a friend was at this party" kind of story. Urban legend related?
I guess I'll post it here as well...this graemlin: needs to be Dikembe instead of a cat.
thats my cats name, and hes gray too, lol when we first got him he'd only come out at night and snoop around everyones shit, he's really long already but the shadows on the wall made him look friggin 7 feet tall, and then he dropped the bombs in the litterbox and became known as the 'stinky one', eternally.

I once ran into him at the Denver airport as a kid. He was cool as shit and we chopped it up for a minute. Those dudes where dead on in there impersonations. On a side note Rick Adelmen is a slept on coach.

dontknow if its true
Never read or heard anything but good surrounding the dude and he is a big reason the Rockets are kicking butt.....wish the Mavs had scooped him up.
I heard it told as, 'Who wants to Suck Dik-embe.'
Get it? He's clever.
He sounds like Cookie Monster though.
