Mutombo in Hall of Fame
Print Edition
DIKEMBE Mutombo, an eight-time NBA All-Star who was famous for swatting away opponents’ shots and wagging his finger at them, was elected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame on Monday.
Mutombo, a shot-blocking Congolese center, was a four-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year and led the league in blocked shots for five straight seasons.
Mutombo played in the NBA from 1991 until 2009, recording 11,729 points, 12,359 rebounds, and 3,289 blocks during 18 seasons spent mostly with Denver, Atlanta and Houston.
Three-time College Coach of the Year John Calipari, longtime NBA referee Dick Bavetta, four-time NBA All-Star Spencer Haywood, seven-time NBA All-Star Jo Jo White and three-time WNBA most valuable player Lisa Leslie were also among the 11 members named to the Class of 2015. They joined the five directly elected members who were announced earlier this year.
The Class of 2015 will be enshrined at the Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts, on September 11.
