In just five seasons with the Denver Nuggets, Dikembe Mutombo amassed the most blocks in franchise history.
The Nuggets drafted Mutombo with the fourth overall pick in the 1991 NBA draft. Mutombo made the NBA All-Star team in his rookie year after averaging 16.6 points, 12.3 rebounds and 3.0 blocks per game.
In 1994, Mutombo and the eighth-seeded Nuggets stunned the world when they defeated the No. 1 Seattle SuperSonics in five games. It was the first time an eighth-seeded team had ever made it out of the first round of the playoffs.
Mutombo could arguably be called the best Nuggets defender of all time with his 1,468 blocks and 5,054 rebounds.
