Yes, I was using them as an analogy. I may be obscure, but I'm not stupid. ;)

Yep. I can't see how people are saying Mutombo if Yao is healthy.

Explain how Deke is overrated here when he probably never even played with anyone as good as Mcgrady and still had more success than Yao?

Because Yao was healthy for all of one season with T-Mac?

04-05: 80 GP
05-06: 57 GP
06-07: 48 GP
07-08: 55 GP
08-09: 77 GP - injured in playoffs

Are you seriously asking why Yao didn't have more success when he had so many injuries?

93-94 Nuggets its causing a great effect for me at least, him was a great leader of that team and with those players he upset the Sonic of Payton and Kemp.

Abdur Rauf, B. Stith, LaPhonso Ellis and Reggie Williams plus Mutombo in the starting five, Robert Pack and Rodney Rogers comming from the bench c-mon this team was the overachivers of the decada and Dikembe was the main reason so its not so crazy that you cant understand

And Mutombo was a great sidekick with Iverson ;) another reason
