My all-time Favorite Basketball Player!!! #55 ATL 4Life!!!!!!!! You were a TRUE Atlanta Hawk! No one can ever say you were their model. Nope. Only ATLANTA can!!!
Dikembe Mutombo Mpolondo Mukamba Jean-Jacques Wamutombo... Thank god the shortened his real full name to Dikembe Mutombo because if commentators said his real name haha it would be a tongue twister but overall future HOF
I made a Facebook page in ode to Dikembe Mutombo, Mutombo fans, and the finger wag. it's called "I do the Dikembe Mutombo whenever i block a shot playing basketball" I know people hate when other people put links to stuff in youtube comments, but this was for Mutombo fans.
At any rate, all hail Mutombo, the greatest shot-blocker ever.
Mutombo's lucky he retired before the current rules were written on the back of a Maxipad. 2 blocks a game, 2 finger wags.....he'd be ejected from each and every contest.
@theycallmenavid there will never be another guy with the height and size of olajuwon with his finesse and skill set. that being said top 2 greatest shot blockers were on the houston rockets ya gotta feel proud about that.
One of my all time favorite players. He was dominating on the defensive end and blocked shots and got rebounds better than nearly any other player out there. He stood out in an age of dominating centers.
I loved his attitude, I loved the finger wag, and I loved that he always looked like he was having a lot of fun like a big kid out there. And who doesn't love the cookie monster voice?
He also had the greatest pickup line of all time: "Who wants to sex Mutombo?!" Great stuff.
what sucks is when he got dunked on he would often get the finger back. im glad we had him in atlanta, fun to watch. quite possibly the ugliest jump hook you ever saw too lol
I think Hakeem is a better shot blocker, he and Mutombo played the same amount of seasons but Hakeem blocked 600 more shots than Dikembe,and record 0.2 blocks more than Mutombo in their career average.. But respect for Dikembe too.
1. Hakeem entered into NBA in much younger age than Deke. (21 vs 25)
2. He played more than 34 minutes per game. (starter) in 15 out of his 18 seasons. Nevertheless in his last 3 seasons he played at least 23 mpg. Deke played 34 mpg in 11 out of his 18 seasons. Two seasons he played around 22 ppg. In his last 5 seasons he played only 15 mpg.
Considering these issues I'd say his shotblocking ability was better than Hakeem.
1. Entering younger age means having far more effective seasons. Lets assume if Deke had entered 3 seasons before and left also 3 seasons later. In this case 22-24 y.o Deke physically would be far more fit thus effective than 40-42 y.o mutombo. Its all about biology.
well you got to consider the fact that Hakeem also had to focus on the offensive end so therefore he couldnt pick up to many fouls, but mutombo was strickly for def purposes.
I've seen Hakeem, he IS the best blocker but outside the court, Dikembe is the greatest person to ever step foot on a court, he built a hospital for Congolese people.
Not true. Bill Russell was a defensive anchor for sure, but his small 6'9 225 frame wasn't as effective. Also, Russell played in a watered down league where the competition was scarce.
A great player, a great human being. He's one of the only NBA players who I have ever wanted to actually meet and be friends with...he just seems so genuine.
one more comment that's just about his voice and you fags are screwed, there are more things commentworthy than his voice...he was one of the league's best defenders, maybe he's the best, and some of you just want to comment on the voice. damn.
I am Dikembe... I block ball, and enjoy cookies

as for the minute thing..i dont think deke would block 600 more shots with the increase of minutes.

1. Entering younger age means having far more effective seasons. Lets assume if Deke had entered 3 seasons before and left also 3 seasons later. In this case 22-24 y.o Deke physically would be far more fit thus effective than 40-42 y.o mutombo. Its all about biology.
