Manute Bol passes away

[AmishTickler]

For the fans of the NBA and basketball in general, I'm sure most are familiar with 7'7" Manute Bol. Manute passed away today at the age of 47. I enjoyed watching Manute play in the NBA and I always got a kick out of when he used to throw up those 3-pointers. 🙂

R.I.P. Manute.

I remember Manute. He always looked like the tallest tower, on a whole court of towers, when he played. 47 is wayyy too young to go. Very sad.

R.I.P. Manute.

sad indeed...a great humanitarian who was people first, NBA second...a man who truly wanted the world to be a better place, and spent his own millions trying to make it happen...a sad day indeed...


RIP, Manute...your efforts are not in vain

Years ago, I saw Manute Bol play in a summer league with of all people, Muggsy Bogues.....it was hilarious to watch the two of them together....Manute did seem like a decent chap....one of a kind...he will be missed
