Former Denver Nuggets center Dikembe Mutombo is the star of a new Super Bowl commercial.

Best known for his famous "finger-wag" move, the seven-footer can now be seen blocking shots in a hilarious 30-second spot for GIECO.

Fans remember Mutombo tightly-gripping the basketball after the then-eight seeded Nuggets shocked the first-seeded Seattle Supersonics in the playoffs.

Mutombo finished his 18-year NBA career with 3,289 career blocks, which is second behind Hakeem Olajuwon.

Take a look at it below.
