Mutombo's family remains in Atlanta and he plans to build a new home here in the offseason. No matter where I travel, I am coming back to Atlanta, but here I am playing and winning and I have a chance to win a championship this season. Also, it is nice to enjoy myself in the games and go to bed at night without any headaches. He said the weight of losing with the Hawks was taking a toll on his spirits as well as those of his teammates in the quiet post-game locker room. Everybody knew what the outcome would be.
Guys just go and play and finish the season.
You just play, go home. That was a feeling that brought so much frustration to my life. For three seasons with the Hawks we were winning. Then last year we won 28 games and then what happened this season. On track to win another rebounding title, Mutombo said, he is feeling at home with the Sixers.
