Pimpin truly ain't easy. :pimp:

[Trollsmasher]

Weakest contest of all time? That was embrassing for Mutombo

[DStebb716]

Way too many white people trying to talk black on here...

LOL, never thought I'd be accused of being white acting black on a message board. :oldlol:

[absalom]

the playoff dunk right? there is a vid with Mutombo boasting on the allstar game that Jordan is afraid to dunk on him and then this dunk happened. :rockon:

[sportjames23]

Right?

And the thing is, it's not a great dunk by MJ's standards, but it's the moment when it happened, getting the crowd into the game (for some reason, but Bulls kinda sleepwalked through the first 4 games of the ATL series), and the wag, using Deke's signature gesture against him.

Heh, MJ even got a tech for it. :oldlol:

here is the story of the mutombo dunk.

It (dunked on) happens to everyone. It's better to show up on a poster than to not defend at all.

Two all-time greats .... put them on a team and they'd stomp everyone.

No doubt. I have more respect for defenders who try to block a dunk than those who just put their hands up trying to draw a foul.

[absalom]

Yeah, it is the reason why I like Shawn Bradley, Alonzo Mourning and even Okafor, those guys are not afraid to be posterized.

[sportjames23]

Yup. :cheers:

MJ would have gotten a technical for tha gesture in today's NBA.

Hell, he got a technical for that move back then. Ref T'd him up for that.

Today, he'd get suspended for 5 mins. Only 5 because he IS MJ, but Stern woulda had to do something.

For basketball reasons, of course.

than those who just put their hands up trying to draw a foul.

This has got to be the most vicious poster there is.

I mean, I know there are dunks like Pippen on Ewing that look more "brutal" in action...but this pic...in the moment it was captured.

Howard looks like a baby seal and Kobe is the club.

Yeah, Alonzo would try to block EVERYTHING. He didn't care who you were.

[jzek]

Vince dunked on him viciously twice I think. Zo could never block Vince :bowdown:

[Rose'sACL]

why is OP trying so hard to write like an uneducated 12 yr old black kid?

[TheReal Kendall]

It took MJ 7 years to dunk on Mutombo though

[mr beast]

Way too many white people trying to talk black on here...

"how awesome was that?"

or are you going to say too many black ppl tryin to act like they white

[ProfessorMurder]

It took MJ 7 years to dunk on Mutombo though

And Mutombo was very out of position to truly contest. He was on the other side of the paint and got his arm in the right place. It's not as if they met at the summit.

Why you tryin (and succeeding) at writing like a uneducated ph@ggot?

Weak ass shit.

Jordan on Mutombo is more about the story behind it. The challenge, etc. If it happened a year earlier without the trash talk and challenge, then it would have been just another dunk and not the subject of a thread.

Nah, Zo did block Vince a few times.

To be fair though, Vince dunked on Zo when Zo was past his prime, old, and post-kidney transplant.

Yup. Big men back in the day would really challenge that shit. Sometimes they got it thrown down in their grill, sometimes they got the block, sometimes they knocked dude on his ass.

Nasty ass dunk by Kobe doe.

[Kblaze8855]

Penny got him and gave the finger wave too. At 2:05 in here:

Both from 1997 too. Not sure who got him first.

Penny's woulda been first. MJ's dunk happened in the playoffs (that was the close-out game, matter of fact).

[Angel Face]

It took many years before MJ got a nice facial on Mutombo. Before that dunk they were trash talking MJ that he can't dunk on Mutombo later that season it happened.

[Kblaze8855]

I remember the Hawks and Magic played in the playoffs too but not what year it was. Im not sure Mutombo was even there yet.

It's defensive 3 second rule.

It creates less situations where the center is right there, face to face, one on one dunk attempts. What I see more now is the defender coming from the side trying to block it, and it's consider getting dunked on, even when they really had no good shot of blocking it like one would when it's face to face.

I don't blame today's players, or look at past players as superiors, I blame the rule changes.
