- Dikembe Mutombo beasts in the paint with a huge double double and by contesting and blocking a few shots. The fast Denver Nuggets team play a great game against the struggling NBA champions and even Michael Jordan isn't clutch by missing key free throws. January 30, 1993.

His full name is Dikembe Mutombo Mpolondo Mukamba Jean-Jacques Wamutombo. Damn parents!
Underrated, if you ask me Iversons only appearance in an NBA final wouldn't of happened if Mutombo hadn't been on the sixers.
He was such a monster in his prime.
he was also a monster
@@rimbo420 He wasn't a Monster, he was a MON"STAR"
His prime was his first year. His scoring went down ever since
He was the best center the nuggets has ever had.
glennard coleman mutombo Or Issel
Naw jokic
@@JeremyCrescendo Joker is a great player now but his career resume doesn't compare to Muto yet
@@JeremyCrescendo LMAO you really think Jokic now is even close to Mutumbo? LOL
@@JeremyCrescendo Nah you crazy
Jordan against old rainbow-uni Denver- this just screams old school NBA!
Can't get enough of those Bulls-Nuggets showdowns in that era.
I like how the first goal he scores is on a traveling no call, good start
Iverson and mutombo were the perfec fit together.. AI shooting the ball and dikembe geting rebounds.. Should ben together more seasions..
AI really fucked up that whole Philly team by being lazy in practice. Sure it made for a very funny "We talking 'bout practice" meme but guaranteed if AI showed up to every practice on time like every other NBA player then they would have had more success, could have even had a ring.
@@ballinboxer3676 agreed.. There are many very good and even great individual players who didn't take a necessery effort in practice. Look at Carter he is in my oppinion a guy who is happy with what he can achive whit normal effort in p. He never significaly improved his game yeah he did adjust with age but Imagine his longevety and ahletic abilities with half of mamba mentality.. You could name a few others.
Mj missing key free throws and missing it twice and it looked like mutombo shot better ft than Jordan and Jordan is a guard, just wow
This game just shows that every great player may face a very bad day and a humble, simple person may have his best day!
I have to agree the sixers wouldve been on the same track either way, but regardless i love mutombo the size length and love of defence just made him great and we cant forget the finger wag
I couldnt agree more. Iverson would have never got there without Mt Motumbo. He was defensive player of the year that season. I was really hoping they got a ring that year. But hey, they ran into Shaq =( I was the happiest man on the planet when my Bad Boys kicked LA ass in 04 LoL
Fair enough but as someone who was like 4 when that happened and have only watched highlights from that period, I will say it must have been a treat to watch Shaq in his prime, from what I’ve seen he was damn near unstoppable and seemed like a god on the court. Fair enough to want to see the Lakers lose tho 😂
LamarMatic what are you talking about?, Jordan would never choke, he would let you win. He was being nice to the young Nuggets and granted them a W. What a nice dude he was...LOL
But seriously, what a monster Mutombo was down low, and its a shame that injuries prevented that Nuggets team from reaching their full potential.
Dikembe speaks Portuguese?!? Dude might just be my favourite centre ever now!!!
3:48 Jordan didnt want any of that
Yep he didn’t want to be rejected
i've never seen so many travels in a single highlight reel, not even nowadays, wow. I lpove basketball history but goddamn Mutombo travels like every other possesion here.
Maybe the most underrated centre in the history of the game. Went to a finals and historic 8th seed playoff run.
what a Jordan huh MUTOMBO THE BEAST !
Mutombo is my guy but he he did a ass load of traveling
Yah those baby steps
All the Georgetown big men travel Ewing and zo
NBA today travelling is not a violation LOL
That was HIS Eurostep 😂😂😂
rip Johnny red kerr
Mutambo mentality
1994 was Denver's biggest playoffs series against the Sonics.
wish they coulda won a little more for dan issel. he was a good guy.
@netcap001 I mean poster in the rooms since 1993 (like an old wine).
muana mboka

*I don't think I have seen a worse last-minute performance by Jordan. He was missing everything.*
jordan's shot was extra flat that night
Where does he shoot a free throw
like 50 seconds in.
-CONTINUED- I'm talking about THE DUNK by shorty Starks. Jordan always blocked from behind.
You know a lot of history don't you? You ever discuss basketball on social networks like Facebook or twitter? I bet a lot of people would love to debate with smart guys like you!
Dikembe is the player comparison of Hasheem Thabeet lol
My god travels like ridiculous amount that's not called.
Dude, back in that day was NOT TRAVEL....
Dude yes it was. Wtf ru talking about? I been watching since 1990.
@AgentCirrus the point its to see mutombo not his Maje$ty
🏀🏀🏀👆👆👆
Being a guard doesn't mean you don't try to block shots. Why we see all the other guards blocking shots or challenging shots while jordan not? He's the ONLY guard he was not blocking shots. I've never seen him one fuckin time blocking a fuckin shots straight ahead or challenging a dunk. When the other player took off, Jordan was running away like a refugee. Only once he challenged it (cause they needed the win so desparately) and he became the eternal poster. -CONTINUED-
this is a mutombo highlight not a mj highlight get over it
look at all the baiklout calls for the bulls lol 2:55
I need my tomb inside the gyms 🗿🪨
mutombo was a good player, kind of like a poor man's olajuwon minus the offensive arsenal.. not just comparing these guys because they're african btw, they really were quite similar on the defensive end except olajuwon would come up with steals and is the all time career blocked shot leader.
Your stupid
Yea on offense he never was Pat Ewing or Zo. Yet you can still those Georgetown skills down low.
@mogliboy93 All I see is him being boss
I take it Derrick Rose didn't play in this game? he's always hurt
This was in 93 lol
@LamarMatic Jordan never challenged dunks because he avoided posterisation. Totally white-collar cocky unmanly attitude. All the blocks of his career he made by coming from behind players as a double-team help.
@mt883 I sure hope you are trolling.
@InfraaVerdaggens wtf? just wtf?
During his prime he landed unsupported teammates no ring 💍💍💍💍💍💍 😣😖😞
SLAMONLINE
The refs didn't call travel on mutumbo he walked everytime he had the ball I could score a 100 if the ref let me walk the way they allowed motumbo
@AgentCirrus mjs the best
Mutombo > Bill Russell
Stop it
@LamarMatic Jordan chokes? your Funny..... 6 Rings 5 Time MVP 6 Times Finals MVP... and u gonna say Jordan Chokes.... Whats your Team BTW?... this CLowns Denver...
coach shoulda given mutumboooooooo 50 shots and put in two more 7 footer
Well apparently, MJ had other things on his mind that night...lol!:
