I don't want to keep you waiting, so without further ado, welcome to the story when Dakembe Mutombo made MJ mad, and how it all went down. Was he a trash talker? You ever trash talk you? Oh, Mike did. Really? And that would make me a good challenger. Yeah. There's a pretty famous clip, I think it was 1991 of Michael Jordan shooting a free trial. And the free trial line in Denver. Calling you out. Dribble, close your eyes like Jordan did in the game. Closing his eyes and swishing it. Why did Jordan do that? Just because he's Jordan? Just to prove his greatness and probably to talk smack to an opponent that was trying to get under his skin. That's what he does. Dakembe Mutombo told us an interesting story of a conversation between him and Michael Jordan. Mike approached me and said, welcome to the league, rookie, but I'm gonna be the first one to dunk on you, and I told Mike, you never will. He closed his eye and he shot a free throw in the banger. I just told him that he will never, he will take him forever for him to get one dunk. And um... That's kind of a mistake, wasn't it? And uh, he felt challenged and he fell on bars. Then what did you say to him at the 97 All-Star game? You can't beat me for it, you haven't got me yet. In the league, in the league, you don't know how I got you. Mike, don't even cry. You want me to go call Scottie? You have to call Scottie. One more. What do you have to call Scottie for? I haven't got you recently. Yeah, I agree with that. You haven't got me in the six years, once you thought just go and say it. You can't take the camera off because you don't want it to be. I want you to listen to this. Go back in the hot car and begin it. Show it up. Give it. No! That's what you said. I'll get you more than this. Never dunked on you. Never put you on the hot light. You said I would love to hear you're my poster, but it's not happening. Boy, boy, you get scared, man. Yeah, you can't be talking to MJ like that. It's almost like he was bored with it too. But again, you saw that face, he was just like, don't try me. Do not try me. As we were in New York, we were being introduced at the All-Star Game, and I think I was the last player before him to be introduced. And when they say from their Lanter Hawks, they came with my pants out to put my pants back on. And the following year later, he got one dunk. He was very happy about it. It took Michael about seven years before he dunked me. Really? He ranked second all-time behind only Akeem Alajuan for the most blocks in NBA history, with 3,289. Kim bit himself on, he played into that, he played into existence. This is, this is, this is. I know it's coming here. Later this season. We were playing the Chicago Bulls. That was a major disappointment. And the tip controls by the Chicago Bulls. Ken Norman. He used to go, ooh, Michael Jordan's going to be jumping. I got the best seat spinning it. I talked to why I needed it. He's going to get fifth. And the rest. This guy was one of the most prominent basketball players I've ever played in. But he could not cram the Mahmood Tomo. I tell Michael, okay, you can celebrate, you got one. But he got a big dunk. I was too far away when I was coming in. I had to go underneath the basket to try to reach and I was just late. MJ. We spoke at All-Star game, he said I never dunked on him. So I just wanted to remind him that I could still dunk on him. It's the first time. Yeah, a little bit. When he dunked on you, were you more mad they dunked on you or they stole your celebration? Doesn't he use your signature? Yes, ain't he got fun. He came out from the beginning very aggressively. The dunk over to Kenby, you went like this, no, no. Is that something you're going to regret? Yeah, I do regret that because it's a technical foul and in retrospect I'm giving the other team a point. Because he was trying to steal my signature, which was wrong. Let me get it straight. It took Michael seven years. Man cannot fly in the house of the Tomo. Maybe by putting my finger up, they will tell them that there's something wrong. Is it true that you have a poster in your basement of you blocking one of the shots? I have two of them. You have two of them? Yes. Because everybody's only trying to talk about you being dunked and to remind them, listen, even the guy who said that they dunked on me once from his career, look, I did get him here. I got him before he got me. So it was a great moment. I think the Tomo just woke up and said, okay, enough of this crap. But after anyone, I got a lot of technical fouls. I'm just going to ask you that. You know what? Michael and I stay talking about this until today, every time we see each other. I never look at that dunk really being dunked on. Because being dunked on is someone coming ahead of you looking at your eye, go one-on-one with me and try to see if you can get there. He never tried that. He climbed over you and popped one dunk on you. And I've asked Michael, why don't you take off from whatever you've taken off and dunk on me and we're coming my way. That's what you call dunking on. He was more happy to get close to the basket where I was or where I came late. I think for the fact that they took him more than seven years and a half to get one dunk, you might give him a credit, but it's not going to be an A plus. It might be a B. It's always a B dunk. It was a B dunk. Okay. Oh! Off the one leg. Don't give him the... Don't give him that, you know what I'm saying? Man, man. He dunked on every center in the league, I feel like. Dang. Like, if he was a top center, he'd call. He'd call the body on you. Hey, I like the way Joy mixed it up, though, because he came off the one leg. That's like... That's like, you know, we used to eat them collard greens. That's him two feet jumping, then we add them ham hocks of turkey next to the collard greens, give it a little different flavor. You know what I'm saying? So here's the problem. There's this little thing called manifestation. You don't put things into the atmosphere if you don't want them to happen, right? Why the hell would the Kimbae try to brag about Michael Jordan not getting it? Oh, you never got me. You never got me. It's just a straight set up. You knew Jordan was probably going into that game. He was like, you know what? I'm going to catch him tonight, some type of way. And he caught him. Like, you can't tell no one's to Jordan. See that? Like, he's the ultimate competitor. The black cat seeks a target. He's going to get it, a bench. He's going to get it, a bench. And he got you, big fella. He thought he was going to go through his career like Jordan never caught me. Well, unfortunately, add it to the list, buddy.
