I'm not sure Manute is actually a great example but it's still a good line.
When I was playing sports back 25 years ago, I heard the expression "looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane" more than once.
- NickC25 2y agoYeah seriously - Manute is still the leading career blocks-per-game record holder. Wasn't a great offensive player, but man, he was so goddamn tall and was impossible to shoot over. His son is a pretty decent player, too. Bol was also a fantastic human being. Incredibly active politically and donated much of his money towards his poverty-stricken home country of Sudan. He was not perfect, but his charitable acts affected millions, and that should be commended.
