He and David Robinson got my respect - dehlz, on 04/29/2008, -0/+20It's no surprise that Mutombo has been compared to the legendary Cookie Monster.
- jlee2081, on 04/29/2008, -0/+18Its a crime that they didn't get Yao on camera doing a DM impersonation.
- Bojanglesmn, on 04/29/2008, -0/+14Lay off him. He gives half his paycheck to orphans. Orphans with DISEASES.
- McDiesel, on 04/29/2008, -0/+13"Shake finger". *sigh*
- peterlisanti, on 04/29/2008, -1/+12True story:
My brother went to Georgetown (unrelated: when Iverson was there), and there were soo many stories about Mutombo that floated around campus -he had his own urban legends.
The best one I heard, and the one repeated so often it was probably true, was that he showed up at a campus kegger one time, and the whole party stopped when he walked in, everybody looking up. So he yells, "Who will suck Mutombo?", and then left with three coeds.
The legend goes this was so common an occurrence, that the party then continued on as if nothing had happened...
Good times... - GuacamoleSan, on 04/29/2008, -1/+10What the hell did Yao Ming say
- mlvassallo, on 04/29/2008, -0/+8I love seeing Deke still running up and down the court will that "I'm too old for this *****" look on his face. With all of the attitude and bling of the NBA it is cool to hear about a lot of the guys with big hearts and lots of experience and Deke is one of them.
- Bukowsky, on 04/29/2008, -0/+7Aaron Brooks impersonation was the best... with the long fingers and all. That's totally Dikembe!
- lotar732, on 04/29/2008, -0/+6C is for Cookie
- Aitese, on 04/29/2008, -0/+6Dikembe Mutombo Mpolondo Mukamba Jean-Jacques Wamutombo...better known as Dikembe Mutombo
- nbcaffeine, on 04/29/2008, -0/+4Badass with a heart of gold
- ihavebeenseen, on 04/29/2008, -0/+4best finger shake ever!

- durant0s, on 04/29/2008, -0/+4yeah everyone loves Deke, he has genuinely used his talents to help his people and a lot of people respect him for that, the same goes for Hakeem 'The Dream'.
- Crosshare, on 04/29/2008, -1/+5Man I hate to share a locker room with you.
- newsfully, on 04/29/2008, -0/+3that's good enough for me.

The best part: "It's called pasta pasta. It's named after pasta." - smacksaw, on 04/29/2008, -3/+6Damn that was good. I think it's funny how T-Mac was saying that Mutombo thinks he's never fouled anyone. I think that's true of all big men. The classic example is Shaq, especially in his prime. The sort of ticky-tack ***** fouls they called on him were ridiculous. He was so dominant in the block that you couldn't score within 8 feet of the basket - his wingspan. It's clear to anyone that the NBA was like "well, we can't have this now can we?" and made it so that people could score by compromising Shaq's defence.
But Diekembe is right because they did the same ***** to him before Shaq ever came along. No one...NO ONE could swat the ball like Mt Mutombo. And saying that there's a foul on the shooter's hand is often wrong...as Diekembe knew firsthand. Pun?
Anyway, these little guys like T-Mac can laugh all they want about it, but they're the ones getting rejected in the paint. Turn it around the other way and you'll see that the NBA has it in for the big guys who patrol the basket. It was bad with Mutombo, but it got ridiculous with Shaq. - ErikHarrison, on 04/29/2008, -1/+3Giant Yoda.
- baddriver, on 04/29/2008, -1/+3Sounds like yoda
- Jwoey, on 04/29/2008, -2/+4Right, so its irrelevant.
Are you over a month old, too? - TECHSev, on 04/29/2008, -0/+2Dear Mutombo
How do you type with boxing gloves on?
crapely yours
DELETED - D3ADBOLT, on 04/29/2008, -0/+2Let me know when they can impersonate a team that can make it to the second round of the playoffs
- Farmer77, on 04/29/2008, -0/+2I remember he was on Conan O'Brian and Conan made him suck some helium from a balloon. You should have heard his voice after that, it was hilarious!
- rblancarte, on 04/29/2008, -0/+1True story, KIND OF.
I have been hearing that story about Mutumbo since he was at Georgetown (which is where it happened). - jankind, on 04/29/2008, -0/+1NICE! I was going to say, does anybody know his FULL name without google. I thought it was way longer than that.
- peterlisanti, on 04/30/2008, -0/+1and the evidence mounts....
- bigwillystyle, on 04/29/2008, -0/+1shane battier sounded like the cookie monster
- carbbomb, on 04/29/2008, -1/+2I wish DM could advance in the play-offs with out the rest of his team. Damn, I hate the Rockets.
- Wonkanobi, on 04/29/2008, -1/+2A few years ago I was at a small bar in downtown Cleveland on the night of a Cavs game. They must have played Mutumbo's team that night (I believe he was on the Hawks at the time) because, sure enough, in walked Dikembe. He wasn't more than three steps into the bar when he let out a bellowing "WHO WANT TO SEX MUTUMBO?!"
True story. - Puisapres, on 04/29/2008, -0/+1On Imus' program, the sports guy Warner Wolf will sometimes announce an upcoming "sound bite" from Dikembe, and then he'll instead play "C is for Cookie." Good times.
- javier182gt, on 04/29/2008, -1/+1I am both a Rockets fan and a Dikembe Mutombo fan. I am just wondering why this is up here again after just several months.
- KrystaNoel, on 04/29/2008, -0/+0HA! I saw this a couple of weeks ago onFSN and I thought it was so funny. Good post.
- ninerskeet, on 04/29/2008, -2/+2WHO WANTS TO SEX MUTOMBO?
- Black6x, on 04/29/2008, -2/+2This one is much worse: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POkyWhh3Ihw&feature ...
I was blowing my nose when the "past pasta" part happens. The tissue exploded. - inactive, on 04/29/2008, -3/+2Humans don't get stale after a month, unless they're dead.
Stories do, crusty underwear does as well. - Shakermaker, on 04/29/2008, -4/+2That's racist....
/sarcasm - willk281, on 04/29/2008, -4/+1OM NOM NOM NOM
- MogusMaximus, on 04/29/2008, -5/+1They all look like retards.
Mutombo is the ***** and his finger wag is the best part of the entire Rockets team. - JayG25, on 04/29/2008, -10/+3Atleast it isnt an Obama Story!
- bChico, on 04/29/2008, -9/+1Dude, that was mean! Note to Tracy McGrady: in your mind, you think you've passed the First Round of the Playoffs.
- inactive, on 04/29/2008, -10/+1This is over a month old.
- jkr801, on 04/29/2008, -13/+1Shane Battier is a dumb ass + yao
