Throwback: Dikembe Mutombo Boldly Claimed He Could Still Block Nikola Jokic and Joel Embiid in 2021
The legendary player for the Atlanta Hawks never got many chances to guard players whose range reached the 3-point line. And as the three-time NBA blocks leader admitted, Embiid and Jokic would have found ways to score a few points over him given their basketball IQs.
Even so, it's difficult to write Mutombo off given his strength, agility, and impeccable timing. Shaquille O'Neal, during the 2001 Finals, was possibly the only celebrity to outshine him. In fairness to the eight-time All-Star, he was thirty years old at the time, and O'Neal might be unstoppable when in top form.
