First he lent his voice and image to a fantastic 8-bit Old Spice ad. And over the weekend he appeared in a Geico commercial where he literally blocked everything. Here's a look back at the eight-time All-Star's career on and off the court.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Above: Mutombo corrals a rebound as a member of the Rockets in 2006.
