"He's Kendibe Mutombo!"

Mutombo is well-known to the Chinese people, most of which are probably after joining the rocket in 2004-2005, he is affectionately called "Uncle Mu" by the Chinese people, in fact, his name is as mysterious as his age, he was born in Congo, that country has no household registration book at all, ID cards and the like, according to rumors, the Congolese people are based on the height of the child and the tree, through the height of the tree to refer to the age, the result of the height of the Uncle Mu is basically in the series of ascending immortals.

Of course, this is just a joke, although I don't know the exact age of Mutombo, but according to his full face and hoarse and thick voice, he ranks first among the "third uncles" in the league, and the other two refer to Zhu Wan Howard's "Second Uncle Huo" and Bruce Bowen's "Third Uncle Bao", but unfortunately now the third uncle has retired and has never been concerned about the affairs of the rivers and lakes since then.

In 1991, the Denver Nuggets selected this young man known as "Eaton II" with the fourth pick in the capital, in the first year of the NBA, Mutombo shocked the world, as a rookie, he averaged 16.6 points per game, grabbed 12.2 rebounds, and shot as high as 50%, on the offensive end, his trick is to lean on the defender, while breaking through, while sacrificing a big hook, and the shooting rate is very high, but the posture is indeed a little ugly, Picky national fans jokingly called the third way to shoot after textbooks and urinals, "throwing bricks".

Mutombo looked at his first year of posture, and after three or five years of hard work in the NBA, he would become an inside killer, but he didn't, no one could have imagined it. Mutombo averaged 16.6 points per game in his rookie season, which turned out to be the highest scoring average in his nineteen seasons, the offense was ignored, Mutombo set an example on defense, and then in his peak eleven seasons, he averaged between 11-15 rebounds per game each season, and averaged four blocks per game, according to relevant tabloid reports, there were four or five hundred players in the league at that time, and each player had eaten Uncle Mu's hot pot, which is unique in the NBA, and he is famous"Shaking your fingers" is the only number one in the whole alliance, whoever shakes and eats T, Uncle Mu is okay to shake.

Mutombo once played for the Philadelphia 76ers in 2000-2001, when Philadelphia's son Iverson was responsible for attacking the city, and Mutombo was responsible for holding the city, the two of them attacked and defended in the team, complemented each other, and brought the weak 76ers into the Finals, standing opposite the opponent was the Los Angeles Lakers, before they entered the Finals, they directly swept three opponents with a wave of 12 consecutive wins to advance to the Finals, O'Neal said that he would win 16 games in a row to win the championship, However, the result of the first game of the finals was beyond everyone's expectations, and the 76ers, who had already played two consecutive life-and-death battles in the Eastern Conference, finally defeated the Lakers 107-101 after a hard overtime battle, ending the opponent's 19-game winning streak and 12-game playoff winning streak, and also completely shattered the opponent's dream of trying to win the championship undefeated. Iverson and Mutombo's highest honor stopped at the Eastern Conference championship, when Iverson was the main scorer, but without Mutombo's assistance, I believe Iverson would not have been able to even win these achievements, but the Eastern Conference championship is not Mutombo's highest honor.

Rewind the clock to the 1993-1994 season, and Jordan's abdication gave many teams a chance of winning the championship, the strongest and most promising of which was the Seattle SuperSonics (the predecessor of the Oklahoma City Thunder) with Gary Payton "The Glove" Payton and "Rain Man" Sean Kemp. In that year's regular season rankings, the SuperSonics advanced to the playoffs as the No. 1 seed with good strength, and they played a total of 63 games in the regular season.

The opponent of the supersonic is the Denver Nuggets led by Mutombo, who averaged 12 points, 11.8 rebounds, and 4.1 blocks per game that year, shooting 56.9%, the strongest interior barrier in the entire league, at that time, the Nuggets team's highest scoring was Lafonso Ellis, who averaged 15.6 points and 8.6 rebounds per game, shooting only 50.1%, But his opponent Camp averaged 18.1 points and 10.7 rebounds per game, and shot 53.8% from the field.

In the first round of the playoffs, the SuperSonics and the Nuggets met in a narrow way, and in the first two games of the series, the SuperSonics easily took the lead, you must know that it was a best-of-five system at the time, and the powerful SuperSonics looked like they were going to clean up the Nuggets, but at this moment, the Nuggets who had unloaded their psychological baggage began to fight back, and the player they relied on was Mutombo!

The united Nuggets outscored their opponents 110-93 in Game 3 and 94-85 in Game 4 in overtime. While the Seattlemen pressed the game in Game 5 on their home court, it didn't keep the Nuggets busy, who played like an experienced veteran team with just 11 turnovers as the Nuggets beat the SuperSonics 98-94 in overtime to knock them out 3-2 overall. When the final whistle blew, Mutombo grabbed the last rebound and lay down on the court, his face beaming with the joy of victory, while his teammates rushed forward to celebrate. This is the first great "Black Eight Miracle", in the last three games, Mutombo averaged 12.3 points, 15 rebounds, 7.3 blocks, and 2 assists per game. This is the first Black Eight in NBA history! It is destined to be recorded in the annals of history forever!

In 2004, the Rockets focused on cultivating young Yao Ming, planning to find a mentor for Yao Ming, so the Rockets used Adrian Anderson, Eric Piakowski and Mike Wilkes to pick Uncle Mu from Chicago to Houston, Uncle Mu came to Houston and played as a substitute for Yao Ming, Yao Ming and Mu Tombo are also teachers and friends, Under the guidance of two Hall of Fame-level players, Mutombo and Olajuwon, Yao Ming has finally become one of the league's top centers.

In the second round of the 2008-2009 playoffs, Uncle Mu left the court with a knee injury when grabbing rebounds with Oden, which was the last game of his career, when Uncle Mu was seen lying on his back on the floor, tears of disappointment and despair in his eyes, and he felt that his heart was about to break, on July 23, 2009, Mutombo officially retired, gradually, he stayed away from us, away from the court he once loved, leaving a series of data that can only be looked up to by future generations- Mutombo played in a total of 1,196 regular-season games, including 997 starts, shooting 51.8 percent from the field and averaging 9.8 points, 10.3 rebounds and 2.8 blocks. He has scored 11,729 points and 12,359 rebounds in his career, ranking 19th on the NBA's all-time rebounding list, with 3,289 blocks, second only to Olajuwon in the NBA all-time rankings, with 1,240 assists and 494 steals.

The first player in NBA history to win the All-Defensive Team four times, once to the All-NBA Second Team and twice to the All-NBA Third Team (1998 and 2002). Nine All-Defensive Team selections, including three first-team selections, four-time second-team selections, two-time selections to third-team teams, three-time All-NBA All-Defensive First Team selections, three-time All-NBA All-Defensive Team Second Team, eight-time All-All-Star, three starts, five benches, two-time rebounding king, three-time block king.

The above is all the text, the text is finished and it's time to talk about the wild history, this wild history mainly talks about Mutombo's iron elbow, there have been incomplete statistics of good deeds, Mutombo once used his elbow to send 27 players to the hospital successively, including Carter, Maddie and other superstars, this is the incomplete statistics of Uncle Mu's injury case - 1991.11.29 Rick?
