    13 pts, 13 rebs, 9 blocks against his former team Hawks. Iverson went off for 47.

    But on to Dikemebes performance, can this philly team compete with the lakers if they meet? How do you think his matchup will be against shaq?

    If they meet the Lakers? Don't worry they won't meet the lakers cause laker aren't going to the finals. Lets see if they can handle the blazer though

    Blazers? Hmm lets see if Rasheed Wallace can play a series without ejection?

    Blazers always add more and more players to the team but they still cant get it done.

    How old is Dikembe? Is he anywhere close to reaching Dream's record for most blocks recorded by anyone? It seems that Mutumbo is one of the league leaders every year, but I never here anything about his career shot blocking stats.

    Mutombo:
    Age: 34
    Career Avg: 3.5 Blocks/game
    Total: 2606

    Dream:
    Age: 38
    Career Avg: 3.2 Blocks/game
    Total: 3728

    Dream got into the NBA a couple years earlier age-wise than Mutombo. I don't think the Dik can catch up to Dream.

    Rarely has one player outplayed another the way Olajuwon outplayed David Robinson in their famed playoff series in the same season that Robinson was the league's most valuable player.

    That for me, was the performance of a truly great player.

    Supposedly Mutombo is 34. However, there have been rumors that he is as old as 38. No one really is sure.

    Triple double? That ain't nothing. Triple doubles happen every day.

    Quadriple double, that's something only 2 players have achieved.

    Oh, I didn't know that.

    I only knew that Dream and Admiral had achieved that.

    Who are the other two players?
