A center with… hereditary gift was acquired by AEK in his face Emphiondou Campengele. And this is because the Canadian (with roots from the Congo) center of the “Union” has an uncle Dikebe Mutomboas the mother of the new yellow-black ace is the sister of the legendary NBAer.
It’s about the Hall of Famer center, who played for 18 NBA seasonsplayed in eight All-Star Games and was named the league’s top defensive player four times (second in all-time blocks with 3,289, behind only Hakeem Olazuwon who had 3,830), with the Nuggets and Hawks retiring his jersey.
The 26-year-old ace has a close relationship with his uncle. “We talk all the time and I ask him for advice all the time on how I can be better. Everything I have achieved so far is also thanks to his help. What he always told me is that above all I should sleep well and follow a certain schedule. He used to say that if I’m consistent off the court, consistency will follow in basketball“, Kampengele had said in an earlier interview about Mutombo.
To the hypothetical question of who would win in a singles between himself and his uncle in his dozen, he replied between serious and joking: “My uncle is great in blocks, but I don’t think he could handle me away from the basket».
When asked if Dikebe Mutombo has allowed him to use the gesture of refusal he made towards those he tapped, Mfiondu Kampengele had said: “I think so, but I’ll have to pay him every time I do the same».
