Dikembe Mutombo on Biyombo's finger wag claim: We need to talk

— -- Toronto Raptors center Bismack Biyombo has claimed that Dikembe Mutombo gave him permission to use the former shot-blocking sensation's finger wag celebration, but Mutombo says that's not the case.

"I don't know when that conversation took place. Him and I need to talk this summer," Mutombo told TMZ on Tuesday.

Biyombo had told ESPN's production crew -- and others as well -- earlier in the Eastern Conference finals, "After I had a conversation with Mutombo, I just felt like he has been great to my country. ... And I thought it was a better way to keep his legacy going. I love Mutombo like a big brother. I've had several conversations with him and Hakeem Olajuwon. But it's also getting caught in the moment and finding a way to get the fans involved and my teammates as well and flowing with the energy of the game."

Mutombo was a four-time NBA defensive player of the year winner and led the league in blocks three times during his career.

"He claims in the newspaper and everywhere he said I gave [permission] to him," Mutombo told TMZ. "I said, Did I [give it]? Was it family? Was it a cosign? But you know what, he's a young man, [so] I let him enjoy the fame. He's making me famous. I will see him in the Congo this summer, so him and I will talk back home with nobody around us."

Biyombo, who has thrived in a starting role in place of the injured Jonas Valanciunas, is averaging 1.4 blocks per game during the playoffs.
