RIP Manute!

You know I make fun of a lot of people who pass but I was really saddened to hear of the passing a Manute Bol the former center for teams like the Sixers and Rockets and Charlotte. He was a cheerful and fun guy who loved to shoot three pointers. You had to have a smile on your face when you watched him play. He always did.

But more than that he was a true hero. He spent much of his NBA money on his homeland of the Sudan and actually died because of complications from medical treatment he recieved while working there. He was building a hospital and was a tireless worker for relief of his poverty stricken war torn land. I ain't much on furineers but he was the real deal. A good man.

He had kidney failure which has become a problem for a lot of NBA players. You see a lot of the Hornets took massive dosages of Advils. So Alonzo Mourning had to have a kidney transplant, Larry Johnson and Muggsy Bouges have had liver and kidney damage and now Manute is dead. It is just a shame.

I bet Manute is up in heaven shooting three pointers right now.

Rest in Peace Manute.
