Manute Bol
Manute Bol passed away on June 19th, 2010 at the age of 47. Did you know that Manute had more games with 10 or more Blocks (19 games) than he did games with 10+ points. (18 games) Second image is a collaboration piece with our dude @ostertagmademedoit
Throwing it back to Issue 1 of The Amazing Blaze Zine and my trip to the West Palm Beach Auditorium to see Manute Bol & the hometown Beachdogs battle Darryl ‘Chocolate Thunder’ Dawkins & The Sioux City Skyforce. R.I.P. Dudes.
Muggsy & Manute
Happy Birthday to Sir Charles Barkley who changed his number from # 34 to # 32 for the ‘91-’92 season to honor his buddy Magic Johnson who would retire before the season after contracting HIV. It would be Chuck’s last year in Philly before heading west to Phoenix. The # 32 had previously been retired by the Sixers for a dude nicknamed ‘The Kangaroo Kid.’ Can you name that Philly Legend?
⚡Flashback January 25, 1986⚡
(10) Manute Bol blocks 15 shots in a 111-103 Washington Bullets victory over the Atlanta Hawks. Tied for 2nd most blocks in a game ever. (Elmore Smith had 17 in 1973) Manute's 15 blocks that day is also the Rookie single game record🏀⚡🏀⚡🏀
