The Post Up: Hedo and Bron
Published 3/11/2008 by Holly MacKenzie at SLAM Online
By: Holly MacKenzie
Another game, another victory for the Houston Rockets. They are now within a game of both San Antonio and the Lakers in the jam packed Western Conference. 19 wins and they are facing Atlanta and Charlotte before they have a Sunday showdown with the Lakers in a game that could very well give them the top spot in the West if things go their way. Any way you look at it, this run has been impressive.

YouTube gold: Who wants to imitate Dikembe Mutombo?
Published 3/11/2008 at Ball Don't Lie
The Rockets sure are having a lot of fun in Houston these days. But I guess that's expected when you own the third-best winning streak in NBA history and keep crushing teams by double digits. While it's impossible to try and pick a favorite from the bunch -- honestly, that was incredible -- I'd probably combine Shane Battier's Yoda-voice with Aaron Brooks' fingers and Steve Novak's passion if I had to build my ideal Deke impersonation.
Houston Rockets Imitate Dikembe, '00 Lakers
Published 3/11/2008 at FanIQ Blog
Probably the only thing more amusing than hearing Dikembe Mutombo speak, is listening to his teammates try and impersonate him. The Houston Rockets gave it a try this week.
I don't know about you, but of all people, I agree with the FSN anchor in believe Steve Novak did the best job. Bobby Jackson's is funny because I'm pretty sure he was just drunk ... and not cookie monster drunk.
The Rockets took their imitation routine to the floor last and won their 19th straight. The last team to do that was the '00 Los Angeles Lakers with Kobe and Shaq. We ...

If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery than the Houston Rockets are sincere in their appreciation for center Dikembe Mutombo. The players take turns speaking as the big man.

Houston Rockets Edition In honor of their 19-game winning streak it's all-Rockets, all-the-time at Around the Internets. Let's kick things off with a hilarious video of almost everyone on the roster doing their impression of Cookie Monster sound-alike Dikembe Mutumbo. It's also worth noting that though it may be a few months late, someone has finally gone 19-0. Better know your streaking Rockets and meet Luis Scola, who has really stepped it up after Yao's injury. Also, add him to your fantasy basketball team.

Someone should have told Luis Scola who Dikembe Mutombo is before asking him to do an impression of him. Other than that, great fun.

The Secret to the Rockets’ Success: Impressions
Published 3/12/2008 by Albert Bianchi at Dejuiced! Sports News with No Boundaries
Hilarious, hilarious impressions. As the Rockets continue to win without any regard for the records of their opponents, it appears that they’re having quite a bit of fun. Here’s a clip from the local FSN affiliate featuring Dikembe Mutombo’s teammates doing their best Dikembe. Not only is the video entertaining, it’s educational. I’ve learned that Dikembe Mutombo doesn’t like wind sprints, does some odd thing with his hands when he talks and has been in the league anywhere from 16-20 years. Most of the impressions are pretty good, but my favorite belongs to Yao Ming, who simply says, “shake ...

Who Want to Impersonate Mutombo?
Published 3/12/2008 by The OCC at The Off-Color Commentator
Allow me to take this opportunity to say once more that if anyone can find footage of Dikembe Mutombo inhaling helium on Conan (which happened about eight years ago now), that person will be named Friend of the Blog for all eternity. And while that may not seem like it's worth much... well, it's actually not worth much. But you will bring us all great joy. That glorious clip makes the above video -- which is actually pretty funny -- look like the least funny thing in the history of all of humankind.

The Rockets are six-point favorites and beat the Hawks in February, 108-89 (but Houston had Yao and the Hawks didn’t have Bibby). We’re also going to use the comments section to update the Syracuse-Villanova game. Cuse trail, 44-42 with 11 minutes left.

If this isn't reason enough for more Dikembe Mutombo coverage, I don't know what it takes. Here are Deke's Rockets teammates -- still amidst that 19-game winning streak -- providing commentary on and impressions of the 41-year-old center (full name: Dikembe Mutombo Mpolondo Mukamba Jean Jacque Wamutombo). He's probably one of three or four people on Earth that actually warrants a reality TV show about his life. Please, TV gods, make it happen.

I’m a fan of basketball, but I’m not a basketball fan, does that make sense? What I mean is while I love the game in all it’s forms – except U.S. college – I don’t easily relate to those who live and die with the fortunes of the Raptors, for example, and invest a lot of time and money into showing their support. I appreciate them, as it keeps me working, theoretically, but laying out big wads of cash for games is not something I did commonly before I took up this gig and likely won’t be doing whenever it comes to an end. But many people do. And many people really, truly, deeply care about the fortunes of the Raptors. And it is that ...
