Rest In Peace Manute Bol

[eastaugh36]

Sadly he passed away. Was still being treated in hospital for that skin disease he had a while back and also had Kidney problems.
Great memories of him.

Once fined 25k for skipping two exhibition games as he was in Washington dealing with peace talks between Sudanese rebel leaders.

Gave most of 3.5 million fortune to his Ring True Foundation and spent his life helping those less fortune in Sudan.

RIP

Such a nice bloke, just the things he did with charity and his home town was just remarkable.
R.I.P. The Gentle Giant.

Was that last block on a young Shaq?

Was a freak of nature but as most people are saying a true humanitarian. I am sure his people are in mourning today.

RIP 'Nute.

LOL Shaq would crush you like a bug if he knew you'd got him confused with Stanley Roberts

Manute started to go down hill after he was in a serious car accident a while back.

Sad news indeed

Only just heard this. Sad.

Hers one one of my favorite Bol images, with Mugsy Bogues.

 

[Big Blow Hard]

and with Spud Webb.

 

[creamygoodness]

lmao at the last two pictures.

Seriously though, had heard about the skin condition he was suffering from a few months prior, sounded so painful and debilitating, at the very least I'm glad he's no longer in pain. R.I.P. Manute.

 

[Ron]

and with Spud Webb.

wow that is such an awesome picture.

Can't believe i've never seen that one before.

I heard they hired the guy who designed the Panama canal to organise his grave.
