Dikembe 

Post#1 » by BillyHoyle » Wed Aug 13, 2008 4:06 pm

When you think of Dikembe Mutombo's career, do you think of him as a Nugget, Hawk or 76er?
He was to short on the Nets/Knicks Roster and even though he does well in Houston I wouln't remember him as a Rocket (maybe that will change if he wins the nba championship before he retires).

I was just getting into basketball when he went from Denver to Atlanta, so he'd be a Hawk to me. Even though I'm a Sixers fan, it's a distant third behind Denver and ATL because aside from the Finals year (which was more like a half year for him), he did very little in Philly.

Most memorable playoff moment came while in Denver,

Perhaps his best run of defensive dominance came while in Atlanta

Experienced the most playoff success in Philly

Became notable for his longevity in Houston.

Tough choice, but I'll go for his days in Atlanta and his playoff battles with Jordan's Bulls.

Being in Colorado when they beat the top seeded Sonics in the first round, I will always remember him as a Nugget. I couldn't believe they let him go for nothing the season afterwards. When the Nugs traded Camby for essentially nothing I started having post traumatic stress. The Nugs always seem to let their star centers go for nothing and there is always the contingent that claims that it will help the team. AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!
When Vinny Del Negro sends in his taxes, he sends blank forms and includes only a picture of himself, crouched and ready to attack. Vinny Del Negro has not had to pay taxes ever.

I'll always remember him as a Rocket. . .

But the picture of him holding the ball after knocking out the #1 seed Sonics back in the mid-90's will always be there

Mutombo will always be associated with the Nuggets in my eyes.
