Michael Phelps echoed Lilly King's sentiments Tuesday, giving the rest of the swimming field the Dikembe Mutombo finger wag following his 200m butterfly win.
Phelps recaptured gold in the event after being usurped by South Africa's Chad le Clos at London 2012. The two have had a heated rivalry in the lead-up to the 2016 games, but it was Phelps who had the last laugh this time, giving a nod to the dominant NBA center.
No, no, no ... (Deep Mutombo voice)
Jeah!
I'm No. 1! Bow before your aquatic god!
