It's a shame. He did a lot for his native country and seemed like an all-around good guy.

good night, funny man

I'll always remember him for his professional ice hockey career.

Sad.

 

I remember going to a Bullets game when I was a kid when he and Muggsy were on the team and it kinda freaked me out.

Sounds like he went in a pretty painful manner.

60 minutes did a thing on him and his charities and what it sounds like, his heart was 3/4 of his weight

his heart was 3/4 of his weight

 

Well no wonder he died.

I'm sure you feel you've got a good reason to dislike Manute Bol, but why would you wish a heart so large that it constituted 3/4 of that person's body weight on anyone? Maybe it's because I've seen too many people die with the disease, but I don't find any kind of "humor" in this. Dislike someone all you want, but don't wish Overlarge Heart-to-Total-Body-Weight Ratio Syndrome on anyone.

i remember going to a sixers game when i was young and manute bol was on the other team (probably golden state)... manute bol had knee pads on and i thought they were actually extensions to make him taller. apparently i was a dumb kid.

I do hope you realize I was using a metaphoric example of his generosity?

I wish you would have said that sooner. I just wasted the last 6 hours on webmd.

His heart was bigger than an entire horse? Jesus.
