Speaking of Michael Jordan
Speaking of Michael Jordan, one of the great pieces of behind-the-scenes footage came at the 1997 All-Star Game, where Mutombo was straight up telling Jordan, one of the most vicious and artistic dunkers imaginable, that he never dunked on him before. Jordan kept coming back at him, and Mutombo just stood his ground and kept denying MJ. It was almost poetically perfect in its symbolism. But of course, Jordan, who doesnt forget a single slight, got his poster on Mutombo shortly thereafter and famously taunted the big man with a finger wag of his own.
