<< 2000 2001 2002 >> -------------------- February 28, 2005 Dikembe Mutombo 2001 NBA defensive player Born: June 25, 1966, Kinshasa, Zaire. College: Georgetown NBA start: Drafted 4th overall by Denver in 1991 NBA draft. Size: height:7'2" - weight:245lbs Stats: gp:75 - mpg:34.35 - ppg:10.4 - apg:0.95 - rpg:13.25 - ft%:72.7 - fg%:48.6 Team standing: Philadelphia, 56-26, first in Atlantic division. Lost to Lakers 4-1 in NBA finals. Comments: With the popularity afforded him in Atlanta the league banned him a couple years earlier from waving his finger at opponents when he blocked their shots, because of an image problem. Maybe that discouraged him. Alonzo Mourning beat him out for the award the last two seasons. A mid-season trade to Philadelphia with a chance at the NBA Finals refueled his defensive juices. -------------------- << 2000 2001 2002 >> Back to Defensive players list Back to Almanac main © 2001-2005 H o o p s C o r n e r . c o m, All rights reserved Terms Of Service Privacy policy Contact |
