Yup, it's taunting.
Nah, it's kinda funny.
What are your feelings? Years back they'd anticipate finger wagging, and immediately T him up for doing it because of the taunting rules. Now for some reason he does it constantly with no consequence and others are getting techs for a small grunt after a dunk. Is it okay? Should he be treated like everyone else? Discuss.
The rule has been the same for years with him. As long as he doesn't wag his finger at a player, he can get away with it.
But damn, dude is like 45 years old. If he wants to stop play and have confetti drop from the sky and have a laser light show after each block, he deserves it.
No.
Giving a 40+ year old man a technical for that finger wagging whis he's been using for 18 years would be just re ed.
BTW, he's my idol.
Wasn't Mutombo the player (while in Denver) that called off his wedding the day before it after he asked the chick for a prenup and she said no? I recall some player in Denver was going to have a huge wedding and people were flying in for it from all over the world and when the chick wouldn't agree to a prenup he said "see ya",
That was Stephen Jackson.
Was he with the Nuggets at the time? Regardless, I applaud him for it.
You applaud him for being a dumbass NOT to get the prenup waaaaay before? So he wastes peoples time, not only money on a cancelled wedding?
ah, well. It should be expected from HIM.
Friggin Cookie Monster shouldn't wag his paw at anybody
I love Dikembe's finger wagging only because Jordan got to use it against him....
He's been doing it for so long I think he sidesteps the rule with a grandfather clause, namely that since Mutombo is old enough to be the grandfather of some of the guys he blocks he can wag his finger all he wants.
No, I applaud him for not marrying the because she wouldn't agree to the prenup. Obviously, he should have asked earlier to save a lot of people time and money (although I believe I heard he paid people back for their air, etc. costs).
Well...I think if it was LESS of a dirty player I'd be okay with it. Can you imagine Yao wagging his finger?
Very witty....
yeah that was him. i'm not at liberty to discuss all the details as i was not privy to them but there were other provisions of the prenup that the young lady took issues with that related to how many children she would bear, etc. I know this because talk of this prenup made its way through certain cirlces of the Georgetown Alumni community. Dik is really a good guy, know him personally, but some of the stuff he was "supposedly" asking for in that prenup was quite comical.
I thought it was Dikembe, but Timvp said it was Stephen Jackson.
wgaf?
but this should have been the poll because he's a who isn't even that good so he doesn't deserve a signature gesture
His finger wag was a funny novelty, but that stopped a long time ago.
Now it's a weak form of taunting.
Is Deke a balla?
What would be funny is if the next guy he waves the finger at turns right around and kicks him square in the nuts. That would be funny
I believe Mutombo did that, but SJax did one worse. It was the DAY of the wedding. People were sitting in pews, etc. And SJax called it off because she still was refusing to sign the pre-nup. I heard his mom jumped up and down rejoicing.Wasn't Mutombo the player (while in Denver) that called off his wedding the day before it after he asked the chick for a prenup and she said no? I recall some player in Denver was going to have a huge wedding and people were flying in for it from all over the world and when the chick wouldn't agree to a prenup he said "see ya",
This actually sounds good, just throw in some dancers and you'd be set.
Thomas deserved the MVPwgaf?
but this should have been the poll because he's a who isn't even that good so he doesn't deserve a signature gesture
ur horrible, get a job
Most valuable punk? What a joke it was that he was talking trash to Dirk in that playoff series. Then Dirk dropped 50+ on them
Seriously. It was Stephan Jackson.

also he was playing (and still is) with the Indiana Pacers at the time.
Also, Dikembe Motombo has been married to a girl from his home country of Congo since his college years...During the NBA’s regular season, Mutombo and his wife, Rose (also from Congo) maintain a home in a quiet Philadelphia suburb with their seven children (four of whom are Mutombo’s adopted nieces and nephews). During the off-season, the Mutombo’s reside in Atlanta, Georgia
