Who would you compare your game to? Would those Mutombo comparisons be accurate?

Mutombo blocks shots, I block shots. But other than that we're different. I'm capable of doing a lot of different things. You couldn't ask for more than he did, but I have heard people say I'm more like Dikembe and Yao. Dikembe on D, Yao on O. Those are the kinds of goals I have set for myself. I haven't gotten to shoot the ball that much at UConn. But I was working on it all the time. I think I'll surprise some people with my offense.


haha. that is really funny. He thinks he is Olajuwon.

Thabeet should get Olajuwon, Mutombo and Yao to coach him.
Olajuwon in the morning, Yao in the afternoon and Mutombo in the evening.

You too? Dude it's just a stocking to help increase blood circulation for a sore leg. I've explained this in couple threads already.

I don't know if they will ever "retire" 55, but they probably won't assign it to another player, if you know what I mean. ;)

he was already at 1.3 bpg his rookie season while playing only 13.0mpg
so he could easily average 2+ bpg per 20 minutes if he can bounce back from this awful season
Harden is still a work-in-progress. He can score, but he can't help his teammate that much - Yao Ming
