Carl Landry Pays Homage To Dikembe Mutombo

This is just great. In a game against the Grizzlies last night, Carl Landry rejected Rudy Gay’s weak dunk attempt. After blocking the shot, Landry turned to former teammate Dikembe Mutombo, who was in the crowd, and honored him by wagging his finger. As you all know, that was Mt. Mutombo’s signature move after he got a big block. The best part of this video was watching Mutombo’s reaction.

    Good one…saw it yesterday on ESPN highlights and was surprised it wasnt on dime yet…same with Nash’s whitewashing of CP.

    Landry is a beast

  12. BiG ShoT BoB says:

    Ha it’s surprising their relationship is so good. Didn’t Deak knock Landry’s front teeth out before.

    Deke… gotta love that man. I want a one hour excerpt of mr. Walton talking about dikembe mutombo and his line of work. that would be great. IF houston wins a ring somewher ein the next 5 years they should just give one to deke for the great influence he’s got on the players on that team

  14. QQ says:

    The best part of the video is when the color commentator emulated Mutombo’s voice: ‘Not in my house’.

  15. m says:

    love this.

  16. Pet Society Help says:

    Paying real respect and homage to Dikembe is to fund the development of a hospital in a 3rd world country.

    A-Slam at post # 6,

    Do my eyes deceive me or did Chris Paul have a shot at Steve Nash’s testicles? (Look closely at the 11 second mark of that video, if Steve’s dribbling arm had not been there, I think Chris would have dropped Mr Nash…)

    HOUSTON UP! Real cool and funny!
