NBA legend Dikembe Mutombo, the 7-foot-2 shot blocker at the Brussels airport Tuesday during the Islamic State, took to Facebook to let family, fans and friends “I am fine.”

“God is good,” wrote Mr. Mutombo. “I am in Brussels Airport with this craziness. I am fine.”

He included a photo people streaming from the airport. “Thank you everyone. I am safe here. God is good.”

A Congolese American, Mr. Mutombo honed his defensive skills at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., before joining the NBA. He has become known and honored around the globe for his philanthropic and humanitarian work.
