A man purchased a storage locker at an auction in Maryland which contained an entire collection of Dikembe Mutombo memorabilia, according to TMZ.com.
Adrian Petrus paid $300 for a locker that contained signed basketballs, shoes, jerseys and trading cards as well as photos of the former NBA star pictured alongside Michael Jackson and Nelson Mandela.
Petrus told the website that he reached out to Mutombo to see if the eight-time NBA All-Star would be interested in the contents but failed to get a reponse. The items are now expected to be made available on eBay.
The locker was reportedly forfeited after one of Mutombo’s brothers returned to the Congo to deal with family issues and forgot to continue making payments.
