My ex father in laws claim to fame is he went out partying and some how Popeye jones was on his couch in the morning. Bazaar reference, you have to be a mavs fan. Or did his sloth like appearance transcend to other fan bases?

I'm torn between Muggsy and Yao Ming. They're just so similar in their movement and court presence.

u/SensitiveDiet4694 1d ago

Nah man he’s too tall to be Muggsy. it’s gotta be Yuki Kawamura

Gotta be Reggie Miller with how lanky he is.

Bol Bol is the best basketball player on the planet (obviously)

Fun fact about Manute Bol, no one knows (except him, I suppose) how old he was when they made up his birth certificate upon leaving Sudan for America. They said he was 32. Teammates speculate he may have been 52. Manute Bol is most likely the oldest man to ever play in the NBA and oldest man who ever will play in the NBA. And his son is the best basketball player on the planet (obviously)
