Anybody remember Manute Bol?

He is stranded in Egypt.

I remember his 3 point shot.

I met him one day...

He shook my hand and the tips of his fingers reached up to my elbow


I was like 12 at the time!

Poor Manute, he's a good guy. I remember when he went on that 3 point shooting binge when he was on the Warriors, that was funny.

I remember seeing him play when I was 10 or so. My dad took me down to floor level during warmups and he was standing right there. I was amazed, of course.
He used to shoot the trey surprisingly well. People would yell "NUUUUUUUTE"! 🙂

Heck yes, I saw him play a bunch of times in college. I had a friend that was a cheerleader for the University of Bridgeport's basketball team, so we went to a lot of games. UB is an NCAA Division II school, so watching a 7'7" guy against that caliber of play was pretty funny. 'Nute would just stand there in the lane and swat away everything that came near him and dunk uncontested without jumping. It wasn't unusual for him to get a triple double in points, rebounds and blocked shots. Of course, when he got to the NBA it was a different story. 7'7" and 190 pounds just isn't the right body type.

He played for 10 years, time to retire. Plus, all he could really do was block shots.
