He played 1 game of hockey for the Indianapolis Ice. 7'7" on ice skates.

Manute Bol, the former 7-foot-7 NBA star from the Sudan, plans to follow his brief stints in hockey and boxing by venturing into the world of horse racing.

What's next, Sumo wrestling?

ROFL, Manute Bol must be kidding!

Ummm how is he going to meet the weight requirements to be a jockey? Theres no way a 7'7" person can meet those requirements, and you have to, to be able to actually race a horse.

I think he plans on racing against the horses, not racing on them.

Hes coming to my college for a speech on Tuesday.

Seems like having his feet drag on the ground behind the horse will be a real disadvantage!
