SportsFilter: The Monday Huddle:

A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.

Rest In Peace, Dikembe Mutombo Mpolondo Mukamba Jean-Jacques Wamutombo. In his memory, let's revisit his 1998 appearance on Late Night with Conan O'Brien. Skip to the 5:00 mark if you want to go straight to the Helium-assisted Curly Howard impression.

Thank you for that, Ufez. Actually laughed out loud a couple times watching the video.

R.I.P., Dikembe, I so enjoyed watching him play.

One of my favorite sports photos ever. You can just feel the joy coming through the screen.
