The article said......"Mr. Bol, who, it can be safely said, was the only NBA player to have killed a lion with a spear"


RIP

The sad thing is looking at Antoine Walker, he went broke gambling and using substances...

Manute Bol went broke by building hospitals with his own money... The man was a humanitarian in every sense of the word. God Speed Manute.

I remember when he was with Golden State, Don Nelson had him shooting 3-pointers. It was hilarious...

Sad to hear about his passing. 47 is way too young.:(
