The NBA released a short video clip yesterday of the Milwaukee Bucks' Charlie Bell and the Washington Wizards' Caron Butler checking out some South African wildlife, including a giraffe and several lions. Butler steals the show with Dikembe Mutombo and Lion King references, which proves I am not the only one stuck on Mt. Mutombo. By the way, I have to ask, when your full name is Dikembe Mutombo Mpolondo Mukamba Jean Jacque Wamutombo, is it easier or harder to make a name for yourself?
Now, I'm not sure Caron Butler and the Wizards "Big Three" are ready to hoist Nick Young and company up like Simba just yet, but Butler will certainly come back to training camp ready to support the D.C. pride.
