Word to the wise … DON’T ask Dikembe Mutombo to sing … and DON’T try to duet with him on the street … ’cause it’ll lead you down a path that ends in … FINGER WAVE HUMILIATION.
Mount Mutombo was out in NYC when one of our more adventurous camera guys asked him if he’d ever use that legendary bass voice to kick off a singing career.
Check out the clip — the question was met with the same result Dikembe gave almost every basketball player in the ’90s … a vicious rejection … followed by the dreaded Mutombo finger wave.
Bright side? At least it didn’t happen in front of millions of people … oh wait, nevermind.
