In the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Detroit Pistons point guard Brandon Jennings made a terrific pass.
For a second, it looked as if he had gifted teammate Andre Drummond an open lane to the hoop and an easy dunk. For a second. That's how long it took Serge Ibaka to dive in to help, swatting Drummond's dunk attempt.
The best part? Ibaka channeled his fellow Congolese big-man in Dikembe Mutombo, giving Drummond a finger-wag to warn against trying such a dunk again.

Ibaka has led the NBA in total blocks in each of the last four seasons but is off to a bit of a slower start this year, averaging just 2.1 entering play Sunday. With four Sunday, he still ranks third in the league.
Since his 2009-10 rookie season, Ibaka has blocked 174 more shots than any other player. So, you know, beward, Drummond.
