Michael Jordan Dunk on Mutombo

Most just keep in mind Dikembe Mutombo as a go blocking genius, but through the first 1 / 2 of their rookie period in 1991, Deke looked like he was going to be another Patrick Ewing and never Mark Eaton. The rookie All-Star had a 27 & 17 performance inside the 2nd NBA online game together with 8 20/10 games in the first thirty days of his job. He even exploded for a 39 point 21 rebound performance during his novice promotion which put him regarding the radar for the veteran celebrities to like to challenge or embarrass him no veteran superstar enjoyed messing with preferred rookies over Michael Jordan.

During MJ’s first game against Deke and also the Nuggets – during Mutombo’s red-hot first month – Jordan dropped 37 things along with his last point stopping an eyes sealed free-throw focused on the novice.

The novice didn’t do too bad in a choice of the loss: 22 points (team high), 9 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 steals and escaped getting dunked on because of the man who really loves dunking on huge males Hoyas – but that moment eventually arrived.

Back into the original first meeting, because bad as Mutombo most likely thought after MJ’s taunt, i’m yes he didn’t feel because bad whilst the small kid (40 2nd level) who had been capable of getting correct next to Jordan however get their autograph.

I am aware that is mean, but how funny would it are if Mutombo gave the kid the hand wag after witnessing him perhaps not get MJ’s signature.
