Dikembe Mutombo wasn't thinking about awards or championships when this season started. During a September trip to the Congo, his native country, Mutombo contracted a mild case of malaria. But he returned to play for the Atlanta Hawks, then was dealt to the Philadelphia 76ers at the trading deadline and went on to win his fourth NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award on Monday. There was no thought in my mind I would have this successful a year. Now his main focus is helping the Sixers get past the Indiana Pacers in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Defense wins games.
This organizations has the will to win, to be successful for many years.
