Things were different on November 16th, 1999. The NBA was still in the early steps of the post-Jordan era. Mambo #5 was the most popular song in America. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s End of Days was soaring to unseen cinematic heights. It was also the day that Bol Bol was born in the South Sudan to his legendary father, Manute.
Bol is a mild-natured, 7-foot-2 and 235-pound center with soft hands and a gracefulness that surprises everyone who watches him. He first came onto our radar in 2012, when a mixtape of a paper thin 6’5” seventh grader that could shoot threes and handle the ball went viral. A few years later, coming off a truncated single year of college ball at Oregon, he enters the NBA Draft. That means we need to talk about his tall ass.
