The 20 Greatest NBA Players to Never Win an NBA Championship
18. Dikembe Mutombo  Accomplishments: 8x All-Star, 3x All-NBA,
4x Defensive Player of the Year, 6x All-Defense, 2x Rebounding
Leader, 3x Blocks Leader Team(s): Nuggets, Hawks, Sixers, Nets,
Knicks, Rockets Stats: 9.8 PPG, 10.3 RPG, 1.0 APG, 0.4 SPG, 2.8
BPG Finals Appearances: 2 (2001, 2003)  Dikemebe Mutombo also
known as the dude who held the basketball like a newborn
baby when the Nuggets became the first No. 8 seed to upset a No.
1 seed (the Sonics) in the '94 playoffs. That legendary shot
blocking ability (he's second all time) and that finger wag
would also become his trademarks, but he didn't get to see the
Finals until the next decade.  The Sixers faced off against a
dominant Lakers squad in the 2001 Finals. The Answer's 48 points
shocked Lake City in Game 1, but the purple and yellow would
triumph in the next four games. An injured Mutombo took another
trip to the Finals in 2002-03 with the Nets, where they lost 4-2
to the Spurs.  blog com
