Expect a healthy, improved Malu Tshitenge this season but no finger wags like her uncle Dikembe
Posted Oct 13, 2021
Expect UNC junior forward Malu Tshitenge to block a few shots this season but don’t expect her to celebrate like her Hall of Fame uncle. Dikembe Mutombo blocked 3,289 shots during his NBA career and liked to add a “no, no, no” finger wag in the direction of the shooter afterward. Would Tshitenge, who has 19 career blocks, do that in a game? No, no, no!
