Bol was known for some things other than basketball, too. Most importantly, he used a majority of his earnings from his basketball career to raise money for Sudanese refugees and youth. He is also the only known NBA player who once killed a lion with a spear. He was once fined $25K for missing two exhibition games because he was busy with peace talks with Sudanese rebel leaders in Washington DC. Some also speculate that he may have invented — or at least popularized — the phrase “my bad.”
Man, I hope that’s true. Actually, who cares? I’m just going to proceed as if it’s definitely true, because if Manute Bol actually coined a phrase I use all the time, it just makes Manute Bol that much more awesome. And I didn’t think that was possible. I mean, the guy killed a lion with a spear. Also, he’d occasionally — without jumping, just reaching back over his head — chuck up hilarious three-pointers, which he drained with alarming frequency.
What a stud. I’m sorry I didn’t eulogize him sooner. My bad, Manute Bol.

I actually rooted for the Sixers when he played. Agreed on all fronts.
I believe that he killed a lion with a spear. No doubt in my mind. I only wonder if he used the same form as he did when draining the 3’s. Two hands; like a soccer throw-in.
Damn, Melanie Hutsell was ugly. Who let her on TV? She makes Rachel Dratch look like Tina Fey.
Turk Wendell scoffs, “just the one lion, though?”
Did you know manute Bol son is 7 foot 2. He was all ways think about other who don’t have food or water , so think he has the biggest heart. Standing 7 foot 7.
