Manute, there was a world of cocaine and hookers awaiting your retirement and the millions you earned in a unique NBA career, but you chose the path of most resistance by trying to stop what is possibly the world's biggest c-fuck of a situation, the war in Darfur in your native Sudan.
At 7'7" you must have been the skinniest 230-pound human to ever walk the planet. Images of you on the court, blocking shots and occasionally lobbing up an ill-advised three pointer, are indelibly etched in my b-ball watching brain.
Few have thrown themselves into a cause like you did, willing to sacrifice your dignity,
your pride,
and the respect of the sports watching world,
to try and raise a little money in the name of stopping this:
Thanks for making the most of your 91 inches.
nwb
