Dikembe Mutombo (1992-2009)
Regardless of the position he played, Dikembe Mutombo was one of the greatest defenders in NBA history. The Hall of Famer bagged the Defensive Player of the Year award four times. He is 7 feet and 2 inches tall, so he could easily swat the ball away as it approached the basket. He averaged 4.3 blocks per 48 minutes, which made him the sixth-best among centers. Even though most people on the list could outscore him, this does not change the fact that it was hard to get past him. Did you know that his rebounds per game average are higher than that of his points per game?
