Didn’t archeologists discover cave paintings of a large black man with sharp elbows?

some say he’s 46+

I think we can all agree on why he chose the number 55 now…He clearly plans on playing,til he’s 55.

RV says:
i can see it as a joke, but seriously speaking, why can’t he be 41?? He does look like he’s in his early 40s

May.16 at 12:06 pm

Blue says:
RV: Because he moves like he’s in his early 60’s…

Blue says:
Deke is the man, though…and after being there to witness his appreciation night and to see all of the different NBA Stars (via video montage) speak so highly of his personality and his contributions to his homeland, I will always root for him.

RV says:
but deke’s never been really quick, any guy his size at the end of long career would lose a lot of speed

Silky Slim says:
Deke is achieving Kareem Abdul-Jabbar status, in terms of age and number of years in the league. I can see Deke giving his famous finger wag to all the haters!

May.16 at 12:52 pm

Silky Slim says:
I think Deke is older that 41.

WHO WANT TO 401(k) MUTOMBO?

B. Long says:
Deke is the man. I hope he plays until he starts collecting social security. If he doesn’t get inducted in the HOF I’m burning it down.

BxBaller says:
Deke’s gonna keep playing until he falls apart like that Steve Nash commercial.

The Promise says:
I hope hes still waving that finger at people when he needs a cane to get up and down the court.

hilarious posts from everyone here! mad love to mt mutombo, and i leave with a quote of his during his hawks tenure (not verbatim):
“i was really angry at the media for saying we are a terrible team, then we went out and proved them right.”

‘Who wants to se)( mutombo?’

Diogo says:
He gets angry, actually, at people saying he is older than he actually is. Apparently Ewing started that. No matter his age, he has the biggest heart in the L. AND he is STILL blocking people and doing the wag. He had a 5 block-shot game at 41? Shaq can’t get that at 35!
