Just back-scanning some cards and saw a few of my favourite big men who patrolled the paint... The rim protector, the guy who battled for boards. He mastered the craft and is one of my all time favourites who was known to wag his finger to let others know 'not in my house'!
Let's get going an have a look!
Love these first two with big on card autos and most importantly n his Denver uniform as a relative youngster which reminds of the history making upset when the #8 Nuggets upset the #1 seeded Sonics. Great helicopter view of him battling the Mailman too. The Elite Dominators sums up his game pretty well and I can just see him getting ready to launch one of his patented baseball passes downcourt to the the perennial run n gun Nuggets squads....
...and why has there never been a finger wag card with a Mount Mutombo inscription?! That's one card I'd pay for willingly!
Shows what sort of bloke he is away from the court too I suppose. Would be so easy to just write D.M. #55. If you think about it, it's kind of the boss like signature you'd expect from an elite shot blocker...
The Elite Dominator set has that atomic refractory effect going on which looks really funky in green. They nailed that old school effect and the word 'dominator' just seems perfect for a Mutombo card...
