Manute had a special relationship with Mullin and I think even named one of his kids "Chris".

he did name one of them Chris. I actually hung out with his other son Manute not too long ago. RIP
 
were gonna miss him a lot. A modern day hero

I had no idea the work that Bol was doing in Sudan.  While Jordan and LeBron get their $#%%+ sucked by the media every time they sneeze, true heroes like Manute go completely unrecognized and that is an inexcusable %%**#*# tragedy in an of itself.  At the end of the day, sports and accolades don't mean %!$*, what kind of person you were does.

"I give a damn if any fan recalls my legacy, I'm tryin' to live life in the sight of God's memory"

He was a giant among men in more ways than one... I am truly inspired.

RIP Manute Bol
 
Never heard of him, but looking at all the articles on him trying to help Sudan hopefully all the work he did was for a reason, R.I.P.
