Funny part is Theo Ratliff was traded for Mutumbo

Mutumbo was getting cooked by the raptors they went through life and chaos to beat the bucks and raptors. Eric snow nonexistent scoring and mckie only avg 11 pts as a 6th man of the year. And Larry brown was overrated as a coach. Allen Iverson led this team all year and the NBA Playoffs. This is no disrespect to Jalen Brunson. He led the Knicks but sixers a By Far Weaker team. Show love to Brunson without dissing AI.

Was there ever a young mutumbo?

Mutumbo was on the latter end of his career bro be serious 😂😂 and them boys was getting points in garbage mins

Truth is With what we know now, Sixers nevr should have traded Theo Ratliff and Toni Kukoc for Mutumbo at the deadline. The team had the best record in the NBA and Larry Brown just fundamentally misunderstood what was making the team good outside of Iverson. Kukoc was huge in spacing the floor for that team, but was totally disregarded. Sixers were 42-14 before the trade and went 14-12 after the trade. It's not as simple as losing Kukoc, but if you go back and watch some of these games pre-trade vs. post-trade, you can see how that team should have been structured better around Iverson. I think the hand-wringing about "Shaq-stoppers" on defense in that era blinded a lot of teams to the importance of real shooting in an NBA offense. And it seems to me like Iverson more than almost anybody could have benefitted from a spaced floor, not having to drive into all those big bodies in the paint all the time. Could have really helped his efficiency I think.

Mutumbo might have been closer to 45!

Did he win yes or no? Lol and wasn’t Aaron McKee 6th MOTY and Mutumbo was the DPOY?

He played every single playoff game and averaged 31 minutes a game. He came off the bench a couple of times total, lol. I don't know why people are trying to gaslight me, I watched every single game, lmao. And yes, Ratliff and Kukoc were traded FOR Mutumbo, and it made them much better.

Ratliff was also traded for Mutumbo after an injury that saw him miss the rest of the season, so effective take him off the list. Mutumbo was good and they don’t reach the Finals without him, but he wasn’t near his peak and was a worse fit. No disrespect to the All-Timer

They were #1 after the Mutumbo trade, by a solid margin. Meaning the team that went to the Finals was the best defensive team in the league.

It's crazy people can look at that roster and say it was good. Imagine a staring lineup of mutumbo, Tyrone hill, George lynch, Mckie, and snow. They win 10 games put AI on the team they win 56 and go to the finals

Mutumbo ain't get there until after the All Star break. Sixers we're already the 1 seed with Theo Ratliff, and they actually dropped games after Mutumbo got there.

Go back and watch the all star game from that year and tell me what you think about "old" mutumbo. Him and four midgets ran down a 20pt lead. He hurt his finger wagging it so much. Got him traded to the sixers 30 minutes later.

Old Mutumbo was DPOY that year

He got the 6th man of the year on a team where his teammate was an MVP if someone did that today they’d be glorified for it …. Just because you don’t recall doesn’t mean dudes weren’t nice and Big Z backing up mutumbo was a problem

Niggas love calling Mutumbo old when he won DPOY that year. Plus he had Coach of the year & 6th man of the year on that team.

they had mutumbo, and basically 6 players that averaged atleast 10 points. He had a solid team. Boy sprinkled in and won one game like that was something commendable lol

Just wanna correct you on the mutumbo. He was dpoy, all star. All NBA and only 34. Hell he played 8 more years after this

This narrative that’s been promoted for the last 25 yrs about the 2001 76ERS was always insane to me. The 01’ 76ERS weren’t a trash team. IVERSON was MVP, MUTUMBO was DPOY, LARRY BROWN was COACH OF THE YEAR, AARON MCKIE was 6th MAN OF THE YR, They were a top 5 defense in the league & they won 58 games that season. They just ran into Prime Shaq & Kobe but that team was trash. It’s similar to the Narrative that LEBRON CULT MEMBERS had been promoting for the past 20 yrs about his teams in CLEVELAND. From 08’-10’ the CAVS won 60 plus games. You DO NOT win 58 & 60 games in that era playing on a trash team. @SteveKim323 @Jacobtheclipper @ApexJonesHACKED
