I remember him, it's a shame. Rest in Peace.

I saw this news this morning. He lived a life we should all aspire to.

AD720 · 06-20-2010, 08:39 PM

He definitely knew how to give back. Good man, RIP.

I grew up in DC, and he played with the Bullets when I was a kid. We got a Manute Bol growth poster that my brother and I used to chart how tall we were getting. In a wierd sense, he was a real piece of my childhood. RIP Manute...

Even if he had never been a famous athlete, I respect him as a man for all he tried to do for his homeland after his career.

A good athlete, a better human being. RIP Mr. Bol.

I heard about it this morning on the radio. A great humanitarian.

I'll never forget the night he busted 6 three's on the Sun's!

Me & my buddies in school talked about that for months!

Rest in peace Manute...
