Manute was no superstar or freak athlete but I loved seeing him play. He Litterally had more blocks then he had points it's true He blocked Kareem’s sky hook. How can you not love him. R.I.P Manute.

Manute Bol is quite an amazing player in the NBA. He was an African sensation out of Sudan who was giving charities to his country. I’m glad I got the opportunity to watch him play. He was a tall man for his height at 7 foot 7. He was a rebounder and a shot-blocker. He died too soon. R.I.P. Manute Bol!!!🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀

I actually was at the Capital Centre in 1985 when Rookie Manute got his first start as a Washington Bullet vs the Milwaukee Bucks. He had 11 blocked shots in the first half. Bucks adjusted to him and he had only one in the 2nd half. He ended up with a career high 18 points as Washington won in OT. I saw that fight with Oldham on TV. Bol could have murdered him with those whip arms!! The "My bad" phrase was already being used by HS kids in 1987.
