Dikembe Mutombo
POSITION: Center
HEIGHT: 7'2"
WEIGHT: 255 lbs.
COLLEGE: Georgetown
BIRTHDATE: 6/25/66
Dikembe was selected by the Nuggets with the 4th overall pick in the 1991
NBA Draft. After spending his rookie season being the focus of coach Paul
Westhead's offensive-oriented offense, Mutombo began dominating games
with his defensive prowess. Although he occasionally laments the fact
that he's no longer the focus of the offense, both he and current coach
Bernie Bickerstaff know that the Nuggets' chances for success will be
determined by Mutombo's willingness to excel in his defensive role.
