Dikembe Mutombo was in Denver last night as the franchise feted its 1993-94 squad, which famously upset Seattle in the first round of the playoffs. Mutombo was in a jovial mood and pulled off perhaps the funniest moment of the NBA season. Finger wagging was involved.

March Madness Sigils
I don't watch Game of Thrones, but I imagine that I'd consider this collection of sigils for all the tournament teams pretty cool if I did.

Since we led Clicks with a Dikembe Mutombo finger-wagging photo, it's only fair that we show the center getting a taste of his own medicine, courtesy of Michael Jordan. The Bulls legend drew a technical foul for the gesture. For more vintage sports photos, follow the SI Vault on Twitter. While you’re at it, follow my personal Twitter account and watch people confuse me with the Andy Gray.
