The Atlanta Hawks will recognize one of the greatest shot-blockers - and shot-blocking celebrations - in NBA history next Tuesday, when they'll give away a Dikembe Mutombo-inspired foam finger to every fan at Philips Arena as the Hawks host the Boston Celtics.

Mutombo, who played parts of five seasons with the Hawks, ranks third in franchise history - and second in NBA history for his 18-year career - in blocks.
For those counting: That's 3,289 finger wags in all.
