Dikembe Mutombo says he never gave Bismack Biyombo permission to finger-wag
Bismack Biyombo is soaring through thin air these days.
The Toronto Raptors center is, by all measures, morphing into a monster before our very eyes, having grabbed 49 rebounds in four Eastern Conference Finals games and legally adopted Kevin Love as his own son.
This has led to finger-wagging - - a vintage Dikembe Mutombo move Biyombo claims he's been given the green light to use in his own celebrations.

But now we're in an awkward place, because Mutombo talked to TMZ on Tuesday, and he doesn't recall any such passing of the torch.
"I saw his interview the other day on ESPN," Mutombo said. "He said that I gave him permission."
"Did you?" asked the reporter.
"I don't know when that conversation took place," Mutombo said. "Him and I need to talk this summer...I just need to talk to him. Him and I need to sit down."
Pick up that phone and get right with God, Bismack.
Dan is on Twitter. Mutombo don't know no Keisha.
