Is Dikembe Mutombo a legend? And what tier is he in?

[staticshock]

Mutumbo is prob a 3rd tier legend. Remember he was a shot blocking monster. There is a stretch where he was at 3bpg. And I think he was 4.5 for a couple years. It was a challenge and accolade to "climb Mt. Mutombo".

Don't compare him to Dwight. He at least had a couple of go-to moves for a basket - running hook, jump hook, funny looking 10' J

dats my Congolese legend

NO NO NOT TODAY

He's from Congo

 

[ALonelyDad]

yes, he is remembered to this day and will be forever..+ a great person

 

[NSSVO]

He's definitely a legend but not in the discussing for goat centers

 

[Jordan>>LeFrozen]

More so for his iconic status than playing ability, HoFer no doubt tho and no disrespect intended and one of the GOAT human beings

The bolded is definitely part of it. That “no no no” finger wagging and his blocking ability is iconic as hell and probably gives him a bump on the all time list perception wise

 

[SuperNintendo Chalmers]

Defensively he was a legend. But this is the Coli where offense and ESPN hype only matters.

 

[Amare's Right Hook]

That question should NOT be asked. Come on.

Nah, not for a series

 

[panopticon]

Finger wag alone makes him a legend

That shyt was nonverbal ether

Imagine this big ass nikka from the Congo just blocked your shot...and rather than talking some regular forgettable shyt just wagged a finger in your face silently while shaking his head in disappointment at your failure

Then flashed a big smile to the crowd, got back on offense and dunked on your ass

If this nikka grew up in America...I doubt he would've lived past 15...somebody would've shot him for that shyt playing pickup

Bruh PRIME 04-12 Dwight was being talked about as being one of the best Cs ever.

As limited as y’all say his offense is, he was still a 20-20 player. Mutombo never put up the offensive numbers Dwight did
