He was a tall man for his height at 7 foot 7. He was a rebounder and a shot-blocker. He died too soon. R.I.P. Manute Bol!!!🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀

    I actually was at the Capital Centre in 1985 when Rookie Manute got his first start as a Washington Bullet vs the Milwaukee Bucks. He had 11 blocked shots in the first half. Bucks adjusted to him and he had only one in the 2nd half. He ended up with a career high 18 points as Washington won in OT. I saw that fight with Oldham on TV. Bol could have murdered him with those whip arms!! The "My bad" phrase was already being used by HS kids in 1987.
