The most underrated aspect of Mutombo's game is his lateral quickness and quick jumping ability. A lot of people view Deke as slow, tall shotblocker but he could move laterally very well.
@zhugelianges3 жыл бұрын
Yes, he could move so quickly to weak side and shut down quick guys like Shawn Kemp, respect him so much
@user-dc7um4pr3f2 жыл бұрын
I came here after his comments today about the 90s being the golden age. I agree. Got me thinking of him vs. Gobert and if he could play that exact role in the NBA.
@17thN.O2 жыл бұрын
Cause they only saw him when he was older. But young Dikembe had great lateral quickness for a center and could score some.

He completely shut down the paint vs the Sonics in 1994 playoffs. 6.2 BLK in the series, Shawn Kemp limited to 15ppg on 44 TS%... Definitely one of the greatest defensive performances in the playoffs.

What made Dikembe so elite was that he knew he wasn’t going to offer much on offense so instead he honed his skill set to become a pure defensive player/center he is easily in my top five centers of all time because he was one of the first true players in that area besides maybe Rodman that was a pure defensive juggernaut

I disagree, Hakeem was still better...Hakeem still blocked more at their defensive peaks and had 4x's as many steals as Mutumbo, which lowered his chances to average more, because the ball was stolen instead of shot.....They played the same amount of seasons, and if Hakeem didnt have to carry the offense, and could put all his energy into defense like Mutumbo did, his numbers would be outrageous, it wouldn't be debatable....

@@zhugelianges yeah defense too. This new NBA is all offense and about scoring. But Boston's defense this year was pretty impressive. But back in the day like Shaq said if you going to come in the paint you're going to get touched up. Detroit Pistons also you're going to get that close to the basket it's not going to be an easy bucket.
