Mutombo's Finger Wagging: To Tech or Not to Tech?

[ObiwanGinobili]

Also I remember watching a do entry on Dikembe and his wife Rose and thier charity programs.... I can;t remeber if it was ESPN or A&E or whatever.
But thye have been together a long time.

Who's gonna call a tech when he's so soft and cuddly...and sounds like a snoring lion when spooning. Not gonna happen...moving on...

I love Dikembe's finger wagging only because Jordan got to use it against him....

I remember that well. It was Game 5 of the 1997 Eastern Conference semi's between the Bulls and Hawks. Jordan got T'ed up as a result.

It was a funny moment, though!

I remember when Jordan also shot a freethrow with his eyes closed after saying "Yo Mutombo!! Welcome to the NBA baby!!" (*swish*)

I thought he did that at Madison Square Garden. I could be wrong.

As a sidenote, to the Jordan finger-wagging incident: He did so after Mutombo made remarks earlier in the series that MJ had never dunked on him. OOPS! Like Jordan wouldn't take that as an incentive to do so as he did with other forms of criticism he took during his career.

Well, Jordan was notorious for hitting freethrows in his heyday with his eyes closed as a psychological ploy to signify, as Jordan put it "I can't even stop myself, how are you gonna stop me?" I'll never forget that. That guy was a great compe or. I'm quite sure that's one of the major reasons Mutombo does it.
