RIP Manute
He did a lot for Sudan and seemed to be always having fundraisers for the country also.

RIP Manute. Definitely one of the good guys.
My best friend ran into him at O'Hare airport a few years ago. Literally. He said he wasn't paying attention and bumped into this guy and looked up to apologize but he was staring straight into some guys stomach. He kept looking up and finally realized it was Manute.

I wish to echo the sentiments of others regarding the passing of a man who truly loved his country and the people who lived there. One of the world's great examples of humanitarianism at work. RIP Manute. The world is a much poorer place without your kindness and compassion. Hopefully, those that you touched will reach out and touch others in your name.

Manute Bol
10 pts
19 rb
15 BLOCKS....think about that for a minute
I know he had more career blocks than points and I'm pretty sure he had more career 10+ block games than he did 10+ point games
I believe later in his career he hit 5 or 6 3's in a game....what a sight for those of you too young

quiet and unassuming
perhaps the most out-of -proportion athlete of all time
freakishly thin for his height.
