Manute Bol Appreciation Thread

YES! manute bologna. that photo with muggsy is great.

i fucking love manute.

i think i made this thread on the old m+n.

lol @ Bol

Petition to replace the acronym LOL with BOL

possibly the only NBA player ever to kill a lion with a spear.

hakeem?

Look at that sloppy grin on Manute's face in photo #3. And you can tell exactly why.

apparently he tried ice hockey after he retired.
now that's a motherfucking hilarious thought

i wish manute bol could join my band. he would rock out.

manute bol on ice skates

BOL!

manute has had a crack at pretty much everything for $$ lately. seems like there's a sad story written about him every year. remember when nelson had him shooting threes?

everybody's a walking blowjob to good ole manute.

manute does it all to raise money for darfur, because that's where he's from.

he also does it because his kind heart makes him an easy target for con-men. last i heard he was flat broke

awww, manute. the flat broke kind hearted exploited giant.

he so tall

I LOVE YOU MANUTE

Paging Lakes Of Russia!!!

List of things i would like to see Manute Bol doing:
-Aa handstand

-Celebrity guest on the Iron Chef

-Doggy Style sex

-Archery

-Bobbing for apples

-rodeo clown

lol, what a fucking giraffe. Guess he'd have a huge dong though

MANUTE!

BOL!

the great man was in melbourne today.legend!

His cousin works with my housemate, she organised a youth forum for sudanese refugees, that he was speaking at. supposedly his grandfather was even taller!

I once had this dodgy "unofficial" NBA sort of compilation video.

the segment with Manute and he was rapping w/ this group as they showed footage of him blocking people.
it was soo funny.
tw'as called "Block the ball"

"block the ball can u block the ball said can u block the ball..............BOL-TENDING"

I so wish I still had it.

almost as funny as Shaq rapping with "the fu-schnickens".

taller than 7'7.that would a pain in the arse.

jeepers that man is tall

yeah 7'10. his folks were only about 5'7..

whoa!

HOW CAN I MEET THE GREAT MAN!?!??!?!?!?!

i used to be obsessed with manute when i was in highschool, tall people fascinate me

my favourite nba players were always the amazingly tall dudes (manute, mark eaton (the 7'5 grateful dead-fan lumberjack), gheorghe muresan) and the crazy unpopular dudes (bill laimbeer, dennis rodman)

i think i actually prefer gheorgh, very ugly man, very innovative spelling of first name... i always used to pretend i was him when playing kobe bryant.. on nin 64

also while iam crapping on about 90s NBA... i liked all the white guys who had good field goal averages, mark price (fuck you shane heal!), chris mullin. stockton was another favourite, he was good at assisting, what a talent

Has died, aged 47

R.I.P Manute, you were the one basketball card i kept when i threw out my collection

love you manute:~(

he died from Stevens-Johnsons syndrome. Shit way to die.

That's terribly sad. Manute was amazing.

This video has him nailing threes over opposition guards, dunking on shot-blocking champ Mark Eaton (and he picks up the ball at about the the three point line) and icing Kareem's skyhook against the backboard and generally being the most good-natured badass in the NBA.

This is also awesome.

Very sad to hear this. My hero!

This article cheered me up a little- apparently Manute Bol may have actually coined the phrase ''my bad''

just came over to paste that link! what an incredible legacy.

what to type?

he is an example of basketball's fantastic past...never to be repeated.

a true shame.

RIP big man

Bol Diddley!
