I went to see the bullets play the celtics, saw Manute Bol from a distance get out of his car. It was like one of those tall thin modern art statues come to life, fold itself out of the car and walk into a stadium entrance. I walked up to check the car out, it was a BMW with the front seat taken out, he drove from the back. It was a manual transmission too.

IIRC he was known to stand along the road with a sign asking for donations to support Sudan.
“Bol was active in charitable causes during and after his basketball career. He said he spent much of the money he made during his NBA career supporting various causes related to the war-ravaged nation of his birth, Sudan.
Bol frequently visited Sudanese refugee camps, where he was treated like royalty. In 2001 the Sudanese government offered him the post of minister of sport. Bol, a Christian, refused because one of the conditions was converting to Islam”
