NBA STAR DIKEMBE MUTOMBO'S CLUMSY PAST

ATLANTA, Ga. (Wireless Flash) -- Atlanta Hawks center Dikembe Mutombo is now considered one of the best players in the game, but it wasn't always that way. According to a report on Sunday's "60 Minutes," the first time Mutombo touched a basketball, he tripped over his feet and fell on his chin -- a long fall considering he's 7-foot, 2-inches tall. Mutombo says he was so humiliated by his klutziness, he vowed never to play hoops again. However, he's glad he changed his mind because, these days, he earns $11 million a year.
