We wrote here yesterday about how Dikembe Mutombo wasn’t too happy with Bismack Biyombo using his famous finger wag without his permission.
“I don’t know when did that conversation took place,” Mutombo told TMZ. “Him and I need to talk this summer.”
“He claim in the newspaper and everywhere he said I gave it to him. I said, Did I gave him? Was it family? Cosign? But you know what, he’s a young man, man, I let him enjoy the fame. He’s making me famous!,” Mutombo said.
“I will see him in the Congo this summer so him and I will talk back home with nobody around us.”
A day later, Biyombo has responded.

Let’s just say the feud doesn’t look like it’ll be stopping anytime soon between the two natives of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
This isn’t the first time Biyombo has claimed Mutombo gave him permission either.
“I saw him one time and we were having this conversation. He was telling me ‘I haven’t given you permission to use my finger yet, so you will have to come to Atlanta so I can give you permission,'” Biyombo said.
But as Biyombo said earlier to Mutombo on the note in Lewenberg’s tweet, this is a distraction. Biyombo is currently in the middle of a pretty big series with the rest of his Toronto Raptors teammates.
The Raptors and Cleveland Cavaliers are currently tied up at 2-2 in the Eastern Conference Finals. Toronto took game four at home 105-99 on Monday. Game five is tonight at 8:30 pm EST in Cleveland.
