Extended data:

Shaking hands is Mutombo's signature action. Whenever he successfully blocks the net, he shakes his fingers. This move stems from Mutombo's mother's warning to him when he was naughty as a child. Mutombo warned his opponent with his trembling fingers, "The basket is my territory."

Many NBA players, including Jordan, thought Mutombo's finger waving was a deliberate provocation and protested to the league many times. NBA officials introduced the rule that "waving fingers is a technical foul", but Mutombo was soon taken as a special case. As long as Uncle Mu doesn't shake his finger at the right hand, he can enjoy the privilege of shaking his finger after blocking, because Mutombo has always been kind and sincere, not the kind person who likes to insult his opponent, and fans like to watch Uncle Mu shake his finger, and the NBA specially gave it to Mutombo.

Eagles made elaborate arrangements for the retirement ceremony. During the suspension of the game, Mutombo's blocked shot was repeatedly played on the big screen, which made Uncle Mu sitting on the sidelines laugh. Eagle players' jerseys are marked with the number 55, and every fan on the field has got a finger-shaking foam model. Reggie miller and other live commentators also have one. The model is red with the words "Mutombo55" and "NO" written on it, indicating that the basket guarded by Uncle Mu is inviolable. 10,000 spectators shook their fingers together and paid tribute to the eagle meritorious team members with Uncle Mu's iconic action.
