R.I.P. Manute

Manute Bol is dead. I'm sure you'll ask yourself: "But who's he" ?

This guy was just the tallest guy playing in NBA for years. He defended against Hall Of Famers such as David "The Admiral" Robinson, or Kareem Abdul-Jabbar through the 10 years of his career.

Bol played in the NBA with Washington, Golden State, Philadelphia and Miami, averaging 2.6 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3.3 blocks for his career. He led the league in blocks in 1985-86 with Washington (5.0 per game) and in 1988-89 with Golden State (4.3 a game).

He died at 47, as a "Sudan hero" and a social humanitarian.
