dikembe is one of the best human beings that happened to be an NBA star off the court, but that's never talked abt you'd think he wasn't the first one to build a myriad of schools in his own continent with largely his own money, him and manute bol were the greatest in selflessness/humanitarian efforts
Never knew that but that’s not what hits the media. They need to start broadcasting the community and social efforts this rich ones do and did not maybe shame would come
Dikembe Mutombo was a dominant force as a defensive anchor who was known for his shot-blocking skills, rebounding and humanitarian work. He played 18 seasons with the Denver Nuggets, Atlanta Hawks, Philadelphia 76ers, New Jersey Nets, New York Knicks and Houston Rockets. It’s just sad that he didn’t win a NBA championship during his career. 🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀
who knew A 7'2 Center Who focuses more on defense rather than offense is more efficient in the free throws than that 6'10 PG who can't hit the broadside of a barn.
@J S Steph doesn’t choke when it matters and that’s why Ben doesn’t have a ring. Ben is regressing at the perimeter but Steph bud progressing. Steph also has more value to his team. And Simmons is better at rebounding because he is built like Lebron. Simmons hasn’t changed the way basketball is played. Steph has
In school as a kid I use to write my first name and then Mutombo..... I just loved the name Mutombo back then. Real level headed and pleasant man who never ever forgot his roots.
The only player to ever be persuaded out of a career as a doctor by his parent, instead wanting a career in basketball for him. It's usually the opposite.
@@joemamma137David Robinson is a tier above Pat Ewing when it comes to all time greats. Pat was a great center but there’s nothing he does on the court better than the admiral
@@barrekelly being in the west really inflated Robinson’s numbers. He was definitely NOT a tier above Ewing. The 90s were known for the “big 4”. And everyone knew that Shaq and Olajuwon were 1 & 2, while Ewing and Robinson were 3 & 4. Guys like mourning and Mutombo were the ones in the lower tier.
@@joemamma137def agree here. The Admiral was a force to be reckoned with. Dude could shoot from anywhere, had post moves, power and finesse. Good defender too! As much as I enjoyed watching Ewing, David Robinson was indeed a tier above him
@@Mister_Mass Robinson crushes it in the advanced stats. But he was a consistent post season choker (yeah, Ewing had his low moments too). If not for Tim Duncan, his most famous moment would be getting humiliated by Olajuwon in 95. Robinson was like the Dak Cowboys. Great at posting mind boggling stats against lower competition, but every year ended with underachievement, and post season disappointment. The 90s were known for the big 4 centers. Not the big 3. Shaq and Olajuwon were the top 2. Ewing and Robinson were the bottom 2. That was the only universal distinction between all 4 of them. Tim Duncan is more responsible for the modern day perception of David Robinson than David Robinson is. Very similar to what Terell Davis did for John Elway. Gave him 2 rings after his prime, when he was no longer his teams best player.
The 76ers gave up a little too much in my opinion. They should have kept kukoc bc they needed his title experience, scoring and playmaking. It was a good trade but 76ers could have used some of those players
dang i remember during my junior highschool year there's this one senior who we call dikembe because of his defensive ability and position.. what a good ol day
mutombo changed the game. he was super super good d in the paint while having averge offensive capability as a center. basically turns anybody besides shaq to an averge center during that era.
Mount "Mutombo" plays in Denver Nugget as a Center and achieved his first DPOY. Known for his finger wags which caused him to lose some "nuggets" for the ban.
greatest defender to ever play the sport, averaging 6 blocks in a series against the no 1 team in the nba speaks volumes. not to mention how many double or triple blocks he has
@@GDCDGC Yes I remember, I'm a 76ers fan since the Barkley era. As you said, the team was way more than Iverson, who was (on a good night) an unstoppable scorer, but the rest of the year a very inefficient shooter. Cheers!
@@GDCDGC Nah, on a god night he was overall amazing but as you said he was an egotistical inefficient player the rest of the time. As you said, Mutombo didn't have enough help to win a championship.
I know this isn't an nfl video but I can't stress how much we need a how good was Terell Davis,Vernon Davis,Golden Tate,Micheal Crabtree or Shannon Sharpe Actually videos please do these videos Non Stop Sport
