How is Dikembe Mutombo still playing NBA basketball?

This lanky 7 foot 2 bastard is like 50 years old. He rides the bench for the Houston Rockets…and thank god for that. I hated watching him play basketball, looked like a giraffe running down the court. Plus that damn finger wave looked like ET phoning home.

The greatest thing Mutombo ever did was the following story from We Talkin’ Bout Practice NBA blog.

“Dikembe (I think he was a sophomore at the time, meaning he was probably around 28) was beloved by his fellow classmates at G’Town, known to be a very social and friendly guy. He was also an inexperienced drinker and supposedly got BOMBED whenever he went out and partied, which was very seldom. One night, Deke rolled to some club in Maryland with some friends, absolutely belligerent and dressed like a fool, and upon making his presence felt, hollered out, “WHO WANTS TO SEX MUTUMBO?! WHO WANTS TO SEX MUTUMBO?!” The entire bar went silent for a few brief seconds before erupting into laughter.”

Did you know that Steven Spielberg’s first choice to play E.T. was actually Oprah Winfrey?

Winfrey was an up-and-coming star that just got her big break as host of the fledging AM Chicago morning talk show. Spielberg claimed he decided to go with a midget in an alien suit because Oprah looked “Too much like an alien…just TOO REALISTIC” and felt that people in 1983 weren’t ready for that type of realism.

However, being a fan of the budding star, Spielberg decided to model the E.T. suit after Oprah’s unique physical features.

NOW YOU KNOW!
