I know Bol's appearance was sort of comical (awesome man though), but I guess that comes from his particular tribe back in Sudan. I believe the Dinka are all very tall and thin. Manute said his mom was like 6'8" and his dad over 7 ft, and one of his grandfathers was like 7'10".
@EGarrett01 Dude your a freaking idiot to even say something like that, but I can understand because it's coming from a rag head camel riding sand jockey like you, but that's ok because we killed that old ass wart of a cock muncher May 2, 2011, NOW WHAT rag heads!.
@supersmash43 Too skinny to establish a presence down low....different on defense because he could play off his man and stand down there, but on offense he wasn't pushing a strong center to establish position in the paint.
@supersmash43 you can't dunk if the guy defending you doesn't let you near the basket. A lower center of gravity makes it easier for people to get leverage on you and push you away.
@americanaccents The worst part is that if you tell Michael Jordan in his prime, "you can't block 8 shots in a game" he'll probably go and block 10 and then stare at you
@supersmash43 Manute's problem was he just wasn't a top talent. Not to say he wasn't talented. He had great timing as a shotblocker and could hit the long 3's. But Bol just wasn't massive enough to be an inside scorer. Plus Manute was really only a 20 MPG guy. However, Manute's blocking stats are amazing when you factor in his minutes played. Sure, his BPG is awesome, but that includes games he might have played 6 or 8 minutes. Break it down to BPM and it's just insane.
Manute had no ass, that was his problem.
Give Manute Barkely's as and he would unstoppable.

it's surprising how Bol scored so little points...given that he doesn't even need to jump to dunk.

Asking Manute to light up the scoreboard is like asking Michael Jordan to get 8 blocks in a game. Everyone's got their skill.

@supersmash43 seriously all he would of had to do was get about 4ft away from the basket, turn, and either score or get fouled.
