Bol Bol, five-star son of Manute, eyes potential to exceed on-court legacy of famous father
Posted Jul 11, 2017
When their firstborn arrived, on Nov. 16, 1999, they named him Bol Manute Bol, partly in honor of Manute’s late grandfather, Bol Chol Bol, the great Dinka chief who was said to be 7' 10" and reportedly had 58 wives. (Manute had merely three wives and 10 children.)
