Dikembe Mutombo Never Approved Bismack Biyombo Using Finger Wag

Dikembe Mutombo has responded to the claim that he gave Toronto Raptors center Bismack Biyombo permission to use his patented “finger wag.” Let’s just say the eight-time NBA All-Star responded a little like this:

TMZ caught up with Mutombo and asked him about Biyombo using his signature move after blocking shots.

Here’s the text of his answer:

"“I don’t know when did that conversation took place. Him and I need to talk this summer. “He claim in the newspaper and everywhere he said I gave it to him. I said, Did I gave him? Was it family? Co-sign? But you know what, he’s a young man, man, I let him enjoy the fame. He’s making me famous. “I will see him in the Congo this summer so him and I will talk back home with nobody around us.”"

Sounds like he’s not too upset about Biyombo using the move but didn’t actually give his countryman permission to do so. Hopefully we get video of these two with a dual finger wag when they meet up next.
