DENVER -- The Denver Nuggets retired the No. 55 jersey of finger-wagging, shot-blocker extraordinaire Dikembe Mutombo in a halftime ceremony on Saturday.Mutombo was drafted by the Nuggets with the No. 4 overall pick in 1991, and he played five seasons with the team. Besides his trademark finger wag, Mutombo is probably best remembered for lying on the court and clutching the ball over his head after the eighth-seeded Nuggets upset top-seeded Seattle during the 1993-94 playoffs.Mutombos number was retired by Atlanta last season.The Nuggets wore their Rainbow Skyline throwback uniforms to honor Mutombo. The team also presented him with a painting and a $50,000 check for his foundation.The 7-foot-2 Mutombo blocked 3,289 shots over his stellar NBA career. He was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2015.Mutombo became the fifth player in Nuggets history to have his jersey raised to the rafters, joining Byron Beck (40), Alex English (2), Dan Issel (44) and David Thompson (33). Coach Doug Moe had No. 432 raised up to the roof, too, in commemoration of his franchise-record number of wins.The Associated Press contributed to this report.?
