1991–92 Denver Nuggets season

To improve defensively, the Nuggets selected Georgetown Center Dikembe Mutombo with their first round pick. Mutombo was a native of Zaire, and spoke 9 languages (English, French, Portuguese, Spanish, and five African dialects). He had an immediate impact as the Nuggets showed improvement. In the second half of the season, the Nuggets would win just 7 of their last 39 games to post a record of 24–58.^[1]
