A retired Congolese American professional basketball
player, last playing for the Houston Rockets of the NBA, now U.S. senator of Colorado. Mutombo at 7' 2", showed that he is still one of the most dominant big men in Congress, blocking a record 16 bills in
one legislative session. Mutombo punctuated his final block, a
clean rejection of the Criminal Justice Reinvestment Act, with his signature finger wag.
Sen 1: "This healthcare bill
may not include the public option, however..."
Sen 2: "Get that
weak-ass legislation out of my
house!"
Sen 3: "He just Dikembe Mutomboed his punk ass."
