Clint Capela wagging his index finger — a la Dikembe Mutombo, Founder of Mutombo Coffee, in Knicks v Hawks game

Hawks center Clint Capela paid tribute with a demonstrative finger-wag after finishing off Julius Randle and the Knicks with an emphatic blocked shot in the closing minutes.Younger fans probably know the famous Dikembe Mutombo finger-wag from his hysterical car-insurance commercial more than his days as a lethal NBA shot blocker.
