@3:35 he blocks a guy causing him to stumble out of bounds and then comes back to the play and blocks another guy who gets the feed from the block.....crazy.....he has blocks some of the strongest dunkers in NBA history
Mutombo was never a world class offensive player, but I always felt like his contributions to that side of the ball were grossly undervalued. He was always good for an efficient 10 to 14 points a game, in addition to what he gave you in terms of rebounding and defense. I'm so glad I grew up in the golden age of insanely talented centers. To think, I got to watch some of the greatest giants battle it out in the paint on a nightly basis as a kid. To think this one era had Shaq, Olajuwon, Ewing, David Robinson, Mutombo, Alonzo Mourning, and even to a slightly lesser extent guys like Brad Daugherty, Kevin Willis, Vlade Divac and Avydas Sabonis were still unbelievable post players.
I admire Dikembe's passion for the game, but what counts it most is his social responsibility in his countrymen that he has a commandment that sticks to his heart... Love for humanity and in need
It makes me sick knowing just how greedy and selfish people of this country are while literally hundreds of millions of other people around the world are lucky if they just have clean water to drink, food to eat or medicine for use so they don't die from things we consider minor illnesses/problems here.
I give him mad props, though he got dunked on a lot by shaq and other guys, he blocked a lot of shaqs shots to, risking his body, not many centers today do that.
I wouldn't call it "getting dunked on alot". I just think it was a big deal when he did get posterized. He spent far more time diverting and blocking shots than getting dunked on ; )
mutombo blocked shots the right way, he tried to keep the ball in bounds and truly anchored every defense he was a part of. arguably the best rim protector to ever do it.
As a raptors fan, I remembered when our team took on philly in the playoffs, I never worried about Iverson scoring 50 points a game, I always felt like we had more fire power than Sixers, but Mutombo's presence under the basket was one thing we could not overcome, but still I liked his game.
THE GREAT Dikembe Mutombo! Man, they just don't make 'em like this anymore. I miss the big dominant Centers. Always has been my favorite position in basketball. Hell my 7 to 10 all-time favorite players in NBA History are Centers. THEN, I start with everyone else😁
I remember exactly the 2001 Finals. A very good friend of mine used to tape every game between the Sixers and the Lakers and we would watch this series a lot. Shaq go away with many elbows and offensive fouls...if you hand out 2 fouls early to Shaq, the series would take another direction. I am not saying that the Sixers would have won, but Shaq would have to adjust and maybe play basketball instead of throwing elbows and shoulders into Mutombo's face and chest. I think the refs did a terrible job in letting Shaq smack Mutombo around as if they were wrestling...
Excatly. He started play late in NBA. Dennis Rodman was 25 years old too when he started play in NBA. 25 years old man is sometime old. Dikembe should come to play in NBA 4-5 years earlier.
@@drlight6677 I can accept when somebody is 22 years old,because is still young and usually players start between 20 and 22,but 25 years old player starting play in NBA is bit late in my opinion. Everybody has own opinion and I accept that. If they say that Obi Toppin is old maybe this mean that they are crazy.
I recall a pick up game at a local park in Glendale Arizona there was a team that I was playing against they were from I am assuming from Nigeria I was going in for a lay up and one of them guys blocked my shot and shouted (mutumbo) and shook his finger at me , mutumbo was an icon and a roll model to all the people of Africa .
he should've won a ring before his career came to an end, he was a beast on defense, that 3 blocks in a row was raw, & after every block he wagged his finger.
How does he have 4 dpoy but only 3 all defense first teams? I mean I see he was on the second team once but shouldn’t the dpoy be on the first team every year? I’m pretty sure that’s how it works for the MVP and the All NBA first team
I still remember when I was a teenager and was playing in a summer league, I blocked a kid and wagged my finger after like Mutombo. People were cracking up. He was my favorite center as a kid. Him, Shaq, and Hakeem The Dream.
I thought he was often overlooked. Georgetown produced a few great centers in Ewing, Mutombo and Mourning. Guys who protected the paint and were not afraid to be put on a poster. They got dunked on, no doubt, but more often than not they would block the shot. Shaq bested Mutombo in the 2000 finals but that was an old Mutombo. A Nuggets or Hawks Mutombo would’ve been a different story. I miss the days when monsters patrolled the paint and the lane wasn’t wide open like today.
One of the best defensive player in whole NBA history. For me he was better than Shaquille O'Neal even if at the game he scores less points than ex Orlando Magic player. Yeah i know Shaq it is the legend but for me bigger legend is Dikembe Mutombo. P.S. Thanks of comment section i can train my english.
My favorite NBA player, did so much good with his fame and wealth. Made a hospital in his home country, what a great human being!
That is why he the best
@MAN UTD the fuck does that have to do with this video or any of the comments? GTFO
@MAN UTD you gone off the plot bro, Dikembe a GOAT what you talking bout?
M why the fuck does that matter or is relevant ! There are other sports besides Futbol! Learn to appreciate and enjoy every sport and also basketball is one of the hugest growing sports worldwide
M also fuck Man U bruv! You’re not even the best team in Manchester lmao
[Comment blocked by Mutumbo]
Yoyo reply blocked by mutombo ✌
I'm weakkk 💀
Yoyo Not im this Comment Section
Oh my God !! Blocked by Mutumbo
too funny
That is crazy embarassing @3:03 when they had 3 shots to the basket and he keeps blocking them wagging his finger each time he blocks the shot.
Maurice Jones LMAO THAT WAS FUNNY TO WATCH. GLAD YOU POINTED THAT OUT
hahahaha hahahaha fucking hilarious he waves his finger every block 😂
@3:35 he blocks a guy causing him to stumble out of bounds and then comes back to the play and blocks another guy who gets the feed from the block.....crazy.....he has blocks some of the strongest dunkers in NBA history
Not embarrassing when it's Mutombo doing the blocking!!!!!!🤔
it’s not clear here but I believe he actually blocks four shots in this sequence!
Dikembe's finger wag has got to easily be one of the most iconic moves in basketball history.
Mutombo was never a world class offensive player, but I always felt like his contributions to that side of the ball were grossly undervalued. He was always good for an efficient 10 to 14 points a game, in addition to what he gave you in terms of rebounding and defense. I'm so glad I grew up in the golden age of insanely talented centers.

This era also had Giants playing, George Muresan, Shawn Bradley and Rik Smits.
Dikembe be like "ACCESS DENIED"
I admire Dikembe's passion for the game, but what counts it most is his social responsibility in his countrymen that he has a commandment that sticks to his heart... Love for humanity and in need
It makes me sick knowing just how greedy and selfish people of this country are while literally hundreds of millions of other people around the world are lucky if they just have clean water to drink, food to eat or medicine for use so they don't die from things we consider minor illnesses/problems here.
When i look at the old school highlights and compare them from todays style of play...i still choose the old ones cause its exciting.
@John doue Quebec weird
Not in my house

Proud of me to be congolese like him.
🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩
Fuck yeah Julio!!
Proud of me to be African like him. 🇸🇳✊
I give him mad props, though he got dunked on a lot by shaq and other guys, he blocked a lot of shaqs shots to, risking his body, not many centers today do that.
Probably because the refs would call it a foul
I wouldn't call it "getting dunked on alot". I just think it was a big deal when he did get posterized. He spent far more time diverting and blocking shots than getting dunked on ; )
Cameron Ortiz
every center gets dunked on
YOu ONLY become a great shot blocker if you dont give a shit about getting posterized, dumbfuck
mutombo blocked shots the right way, he tried to keep the ball in bounds and truly anchored every defense he was a part of. arguably the best rim protector to ever do it.
Andrew Everson yup. Just like Bill Russell, when you beat somebody’s shit, keep the ball in play.
My favourite player - thank you for that film.
i know dm55=goat favourite player of all time
mute that video and play it with never ever by timeless beats as the music. flawless.
🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩🏀
Quite possibly the best taunt in basketball history.
Lebron waking up in the middle of the night in cold sweat thanking it was just a dream and Dikembe doesn't play in the NBA today.
Not just him. A lot of other guys. Ewing, Hakeem, Kemp, Barkley, shit even a Prime Shaq and Yao.

DIKEMBE MUTOMBO WAS MISTER NO FLY ZONE.
He is the best defensive center I have ever known.
MUTOMBO played with a big heart and relentless effort to protect the rim...
He Camed TO OUR SCHOOOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE'RE SO LUCKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the pride he took in his shot blocking. He made it an art.
NO NO NO!! NOT TODAY!!
Shut the fuck up
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’m dead
Dikembe says, stay away from my HOUSE
Those blocks just feel powerful. I can watch it for days

when the NBA was competitive
Jwxo Weeye I agree with what you are trying to say, but not really. Competitive? Literally only two teams really “won” in the 90s
TheAnimationLads Rockets and bulls
Joel Yonas exactly
@@theanimationlads7598 because they were the best and only teams that won championship s
DevondaleBro that’s what I said lol
Today most of these blocks would be called fouls, simply by body to body contact.
So what, it's a mans game not pussies.
hee would also get a technical for the finger wave
Jermaine Morgan mj got a tech for waving it at dikembe after dunking on him
That's cause the NBA has gone soft.
That was back when NBA players were allowed to play like real men.
I remember exactly the 2001 Finals. A very good friend of mine used to tape every game between the Sixers and the Lakers and we would watch this series a lot. Shaq go away with many elbows and offensive fouls...if you hand out 2 fouls early to Shaq, the series would take another direction.

I need to get the Mutombo antivirus for my laptop...
Love the video
DM will always be the greatest blocker of all time
Hakeem has more blocks than him lol
Keep in mind too Mutombo was already 25 years old his rookie season.
Excatly. He started play late in NBA. Dennis Rodman was 25 years old too when he started play in NBA. 25 years old man is sometime old. Dikembe should come to play in NBA 4-5 years earlier.
@@michaelmeadows3002 The Knicks drafted Obi Toppin this year and everyone is saying "He's already 22 years old, he's entering the NBA really late" lol

I love watching these big men. Especially big men in 90's and early 2000's
Dang, he really fought the big dudes: Shawn Bradley, Gheorghe Muresan, and Rik Smits
The Greatest to ever do it #MutomboForever
Weatherspoon got three blocks in a row. "WTF?!" Mutombo: "Finger wag got me tired!"
Cookie monster
“Blocked by mutombo!!”
he went to our school to talk! it was inspirational and he was so tall lol
I still remember listening to our local radio station here in Denver KS 104 & hearing he was traded from the nuggets. I was shocked.
One of the most underrated centers of alltime. His scoring and rebounding was never up to par but he was so good
Why would you even try to drive on him?? You know it's not going in.
glswenson yes it is
In his hand
@@biasedfan I'm so sorry but this joke was blocked by mutombo
One of the best hawks of all time...respect
God I miss this. He would be flagged in today's NBA
Wherever you are with Dikembe It's always his house
Love the background music.

The finger wag never gets old.
I love it every time...🏀

This legend is totally a Monster....you dont mess up with this guy...
4:05 Stromile Swift fakes Mutombo into the air and the 40+ year old Mutombo still recovers in time to block him again...
Dikimbe wakembe mutombo he from Africa congo 🇨🇩🇨🇩💪💪 the where I from.
Noh, noh, noh, nooohhh Mike!
Perfect reality for Murasakibara, his reflexes and persistences is unbelievable..
True animal monster..
RIM in imminent danger. Mutombo awakens🔥
You can't consider your self an NBA player if you haven't been blocked by Mutombo.
I love everything about Mutombo !!!
*The Greatest NBA Blocker of all time.* 👌
NOT IN MY HOUSE
thanks for uploads the excellent video, this player is the best deffensive on position 5, i never see somebody before
The Dream
I still remember when I was a teenager and was playing in a summer league, I blocked a kid and wagged my finger after like Mutombo. People were cracking up. He was my favorite center as a kid. Him, Shaq, and Hakeem The Dream.
dikembe is king
He is simply the greatest shot blocker of all time
Dekembe play one hundred percent defense and I love it when he block those shots
mutombo added a line under rejection emphasising NO
Best rim protector ever. If he was below the rim you just won't score the basket.
Former master blocker 90
One of the greatest snubs in NBA 75 players.
Legend.
King of BLOCK.
Man was a beast
My fav center, stand 7'2 is perfect
Can you do rik smits please?! Nobody on UA-cam has done highlights for him! Please! Btw thanks for uploading more!
stay strong big D
I just bare-hand swatted the shit out of a fly and had to come watch this video.
Me: I'm about to write a com....
Mutombo: No no no not in my house
mutombo=GOAT
I still have his rookie card!
I thought he was often overlooked. Georgetown produced a few great centers in Ewing, Mutombo and Mourning. Guys who protected the paint and were not afraid to be put on a poster. They got dunked on, no doubt, but more often than not they would block the shot. Shaq bested Mutombo in the 2000 finals but that was an old Mutombo. A Nuggets or Hawks Mutombo would’ve been a different story. I miss the days when monsters patrolled the paint and the lane wasn’t wide open like today.
Golden Age basketball was savage. Shit today is too nice.
What a beast
Greatest centre ever!
No
Well might be the greatest shot blocker in history
The best blokcs in all time
My idol🇨🇩❤️
I met Dikembe at Lakewood Church
I'll never forget the time when Scottie Pippin dunked on Mutombo while he was standing under the rim wagging his finger lol
Literally just saw him at a shopping mall today in Thailand. LOL!
literelly the best shot blocker
After watching this I'm turning on 2k and playing against mutumbo
A true human
mutombo 4ever
I am dying he was a beast at blocks straight up
Congratulation
Could you imagine if Dikembe was on a 90's era Bulls Squad OMFG they would have had a 82-0 record season
He didn’t score often, but when he had a full head of steam it was OVER
Catch me on the block like I'm mutombo. Post Malone brought me here. 2019.
Legend
No one survives in the house of Mutombo
His finger wagging to the crowd against Michael Jordan then Michael Jordan do the same next game but he got technical, classic!🤣😂🤣😂👏
One of the best defensive player in whole NBA history. For me he was better than Shaquille O'Neal even if at the game he scores less points than ex Orlando Magic player. Yeah i know Shaq it is the legend but for me bigger legend is Dikembe Mutombo.
P.S. Thanks of comment section i can train my english.
