NBA Throwback Thursday: Mutombo blocks 31 shots in a 5 game series

/

Dikembe Mutombo was known as the defensive anchor for the Denver Nuggets in the 90's for many years. He was apart of the first 8th seed team to ever defeat a 1st seed team in the NBA playoffs. Dikembe knew how to bring his game to a whole nother level once the playoffs began. In the first round of the 1994 playoffs Mutumbo made history by recording a record breaking 31 blocks in a 5 game series. Dikembe accomplished this feat against the Seattle Supersonics and more impressively a Shawn Kemp in his prime. Mutumbo helped prove that you don't have to be a scoring machine to be a baller.
