so much for sportsmanship, welcome to the modern gladiator fights.

Did they really leave out his most recent hit on lebron james? I don't see it in your list. Fractured a bone in his cheek.

After all that, they need to kick the guy out of the league. Same sort of thing as Ron Artest almost.

Geez, I'd choke to death if I got hit in the throat my Mount Mutombo.

Nah. Both sides agree that the hit to Lebron was unintentional. Dude just has long arms.

CHALLENGE

Find a picture on the internet of Mutombo waving his finger to a player he just blocked. It is IMPOSSIBLE I tell you.

 

[Safeway]

His name reminds me of my Nigerian friends name. Nice and lengthy.

Damn he took out the whole Knicks team on April 9th 1999

This guy could be valuble if Rockets makes the playoffs.

Mothafvcka should be forced to wear an elbow pad.

Dikembe Mutombo is the NBA equivalent of an enforcer.
