The Secret to the Rockets’ Success: Impressions

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 finger.” Yao doesn’t shake his finger, he just says shake finger. That’s just plain genius.
