Hooped Up

Greg Oden is no longer the oldest man in the NBA, after the Houston Rockets signed “42″ year old Dikembe Mutombo for the rest of the season to shore up their frontline.

“The Houston Rockets have re-signed 42-year-old center Dikembe Mutombo for the rest of the season. The move gives the Rockets an emotional leader and a backup to Yao Ming. Mutombo appeared in 39 games for Houston last season, logging most of his minutes after Yao broke his left foot in February.”
