Height? Hunger? No, the quality that makes Dikembe one of the NBA's greatest shot-blockers, the five-time NBA leader says, is patience. "Patience comes from studying the tapes and knowing the opponent," he says. Mutombo has been patient enough to rise to seventh on the all-time list of swats (passing Robert Parish last season) - but first in blocks per game (3.57).
Lew had a superb rookie campaign last season as he made the NBA All-Rookie team, the NBA Second All-Star team and was voted as the NBA Rookie of the Year. He led UCLA to an unprecedented three straight national championships and three times he was voted the outstanding player in the NCAA championship tournament. He first gained prominence leading Power Memorial High School in New York to a 95-6 record in four years, including a 71-game win streak.
