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

[panopticon]

Defensive centers.....he's easily in the single digits greatness wise?

Just my opinion here
I put nikkas like Mutombo in the first tier just off their psychological effect on their opponents

Delivering fresh, unfiltered, raw ether is underrated as fukk

And doing it in a way that can't even get you T'd up by the refs because its so fukking hilarious to everyone but the nikka who just got got?

 

[MegaTronBomb!]

Bro id take prime Dwight over prime Mutombo 10 out of 10 times

How do you take 3x DPOY over a 4x DPOY ?

 

[BlackAchilles]

nikkas really questioning Mutombo's legendary status now?

 

[MurderToCassette]

Mutombo is one of the GOAT defensive centers, and dude played hard 'til he literally had to get taken out on a stretcher

He was a defensive juggernaut...that's it...I'd put him below Morning, equal to Ben Wallace and above Ewing in overall ratings.

But no, he's not a "legend"

I have him 3rd Tier.

First: Shaq, Olajuwon, Kareem, David Robinson. Those are MVPs who turned franchises around.
Second: Ewing, Mourning. Hall of Famers who are great and got MVP consideration, but just fell short in accomplishments compared to the first tier guys. Also carried their franchise on their backs to consistent success.
Third: Mutombo. Multiple time All Stars. Great players, but not exactly franchise game changers.

How you got Ewing on the second tier. He's first tier. Mutumbo 3rd and so is Mourning

nope. saw them all play

Ewing is overhyped, especially in nyc....im not getting into this anymore...

let's just say i'd take a 4x defensive POY and blocks leaders on a team in Mutumbo and Wallace over a Ewing, a decent scorer and who has no individual accolades and chokes

So Ewing isn't a legend to you

 

[Cheech&Chong]

theres really only 7/8 things you can do on a basketball court. Mutumbo was the greatest at one of them, yes hes a legend

 

[Reggie]

He's not a legend. Just a center who played great defense and was an excellent rebounder to boot.
