Coupla days ago.
I recall that Charles Barkley said some like "...Manute Bol was the smartest man I ever met and the worst basketball player I ever met..."
Could have been Jason Williams said that.
Or.
Nonetheless Mr. Bol was 7 feet 7 inches and was savvy enough to parlay his height into a nice career in the NBA. He was not much of a player but he could block shots like crazy. 11 in a half. Averaging 5 in a season. More blocked shots than points. Etc.
There was another side to the Bol coin. Mr. Bol was a selfless and tireless worker on behalf of peace in his homeland of the Sudan.
Sadly last Saturday Mr. Bol passed away from kidney failure and complications from Stevens–Johnson syndrome at the University of Virginia Medical Center in Charlottesville, Virginia.
He was 47.
Or not.
I mean, he said he was born October 16, 1962.
Missed he will be.
