Fair point. However, I don't see Mutombo as HOF worthy. Yao Ming's got a much greater shot, and he for DAMN sure doesn't belong
You must just not like Mt. Mutombo. He's definitely a HOFer in my book. Again, one of the most dominant defensive players to ever play the game of basketball.......
Plus, he had this commercial

I thought the US were just comm
nly known as the '50-states'......Like Rihanna counts (another english speaking captured african 
) counts as a non-US citizen to most Americaucs, so should TIMMMAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY.

ok.....You learn something (easily google'able ) everyday....Good to know he's in the same barrel as me.*grabs him back with claw*
Make your case breh....I cant see why to place him over Mutombo
Yao was great and CAN be placed over Mutombo, but make me see what you seeing breh.
I have no problem with big Yao
Accordin' 2 basketball-reference.com (an invaluable tool, mind u):
Dikembe Mutombo's HOF probability= 6%
Yao Ming's HOF probability= 38%
19-9-2-2 > 10-10-3
Yao's International presence> Mutombo's International presence

Made more All-Star appearances in less time, and was the starter in every All-Star Game he was elected to
6th in Rockets franchise history in points & rebounds
4th in free throws made
2nd in blocks
Made the Rockets relevant again
Got elected to an All-Star Game WHILE NOT EVEN fukkIN' PLAYIN' A GAME.
That's somethin' Mutombo would NEVER have done
Yao Ming > Mutombo but I think both get into the HOF fairly easily
Yao Ming could be in top 5 MAYBE but top 10 EASILY centers in history if he stayed healthy.. he kept improving every year and gotta appreciate a REAL center, one who shytted on Dwight Howard who is now regarded as the best center in the league for the past few years (
)
I think if yao ming stayed healthy he puts up a 30/15 type of season
and unlike the centers of today , he actually had the ability to take over games like the other great centers in the past.
He is the last real semi dominant center we've seen ... which is sad as fukk since hes been retired for years
I think Hibbert if he continues to improve will be the next semi dominant center though

Nice step back dribble and athleticism from the video. Jumper looks pure. Reminds me of Danilo Gallinari though
nash plays no d, he gives up more on defense then he produces on offense
Nah, he's way too explosive to be like Gallo -
27 seconds in and 1 min 5 seconds, dude has hops.
Everything I've read about him, he's pretty much a 1 on 1 player that loves Iso ball
