One of the stories I heard about Manute Bol when he first came out of the Sudan: He came from such a primitive area that when he left to play basketball in the states many of his tribesman just assumed he had been eaten by lions.

LMAO!

Every time I think things around here get too serious, I manage to get good laugh from a poster.

I had the chance to see Manute when he played St Michael's college in Colchester, VT. He had no front teeth at the time because after seeing a teammate dunk he tried it himsef and hit his teeth on the rim!
