Manute Bol, NBA basketball shot blocker and tireless advocate for the Sudan has died at an estimated 47 years old, from a rare and brutal skin condition. Bol, pictured here with diminutive teammate Muggsy Bogues, was born to a Sudanese tribe, and legend has it, had once killed a lion with a spear! Bol's first passport photo listed him at 5'7", not 7'7", because he was measured sitting down. (This still made him 4 inches taller than Bogues.)
Billy Crystal could not be reached for comment. Crystal, who filmed the cinematic blockbuster "My Giant" with
Gheorghe Mureşan, had big plans for Bol's legendary anatomy. Crystal was in talks to exploit Bol's ridiculous size AND country in the upcoming comedy/action sequel, "My Giant, Too: Darfurious"
None of our DeathWatchers chose the intrepid dead bushman, and 53 points go unclaimed.
