Philadelphia 76ers: Best Sixers Players since 2000

#3. Dikembe Mutombo (2001-2002)

Dikembe Mutombo spent a brief period in Philly

Dikembe Mutombo, a Hall of Famer now, was the second best player on the 2000-01 roster that made the NBA finals and was crucial to run they made. He was traded in a big deal involving Theo Ratliff, Toni Kukoc and Nazr Mohammed, but he proved himself to be worth it.

He was a 2-time All-Star during his time with Philadelphia 76ers, along with a Second-team All NBA nominee, a third team all NBA nominee, a first team all NBA defence and a second-team all NBA defence.

He was also the defensive player of the year in 2001, during his time with the 76ers. He played all 23 playoff games during his time in Philadelphia, averaging 42 minutes per game, along with 13.9 points, 13.7 rebounds, 49% shooting and a huge 3.1 blocks per game.

He was matched up with Shaq in the finals and performed admirably, averaging 16.8 points, 12.2 rebounds and 2.2 blocks in 5 games. The best years of his career were with the 76ers and the fans will look back upon his time with them very fondly.
