Jordan vs Mutombo: Old school trash talking




Trash talking used to be a legitimate part of NBA basketball. It is and was a legitimate part of all basketball, whether organized or on the street. Check out this classic reel from The Bleacher Report of Dikembe Mutombo and Michael Jordan having a little session.

Mutombo goes in on Jordan saying he's never dunked on him in the six years they'd played against each other in the league. Mutombo was even calling witnesses. Ha!

Now, one thing you don't do is awaken the competitive nature of Michael Jordan. Jordan makes sure he sets Mutombo up to swallow his words...

Oh...and let me explain the finger wag. That was a signature Mutombo action. Mutombo was a beast down on the block. Whenever anyone would come in the lane, they were guaranteed a swat by the dude. He would wag his finger after shutting someone down in the paint.

Well...here's the poster. MJ dunks on Dikembe Mutombo.
