Reacting to Shaq's comments on Bol Bol and how Bol Bol is proving him right. But what's stopping BOL BOL? is it The NBA trying to make the game more "European" ? #nba #spurs #suns #bolbol #basketball

Facts. Bruh, idgaf about what they say about Bol Bol. The man is 7+ft, skilled & athletic. He can help any team out there. Burying him on the bench is a disgrace.

I’m being honest, no homo. They don’t play him because of his looks I promise. I assure they secretly say he not marketable

He's buried on the bench because he's a liability on defense. Orlando gave him minutes and it just exposed how bad he is. The only way he works is off the bench with elite teammates like KD, Booker, and Beal

I attended the University of Bridgeport in Connecticut a year after Manute Bol (Bol Bol father) played there. Manute only played one year there and was coming off his rookie year with the Washington Bullets. I was a basketball player and my freshman and sophomore years would play a lot of pickup basketball with him in our school gym. Manute was a character. He cursed like a sailor. He could drink a case of 24 beers at one time and not get drunk. Manute was a very funny person and great guy if he was your friend. If he didn't know you he was stand offish. My girlfriend my sophomore year was a cheerleader on the team his freshman year, and Manute had a big crush on her. She was a Stacy Dash lookalike and the finest girl on campus. Manute had his own seat by the bar at the popular off campus restaurant Famous Pizza (best pizza in the world to this day). Me and my girl would often run into Manute at the restaurant and he would just stare at her. He fashioned himself as a lady's man. On the court, you could be directly behind the college 3 point line and take a jumpshot, he could be under the basket, take one giant step towards you, and still block your shot. I would tell people that if you didn't believe in the Most High God, you WOULD after seeing him in person. He was one of one. He was a different type of tall. He was extremely LONG and LANKY, with an extremely high waist line. His weaknesses were that he was slow and lacked lateral quickness, so if you drove to the basket you had to get him to change directions or react before you shot a layup or he would block your shot every time. Manute Bol had a true warrior spirit, and had a lot of self pride, in a good way. He was proud of his Sundanese heritage and walked with his head held high. He was very, very, very sensitive about jokes concerning his height. My freshman year, me and a fellow freshman named Connie, was shooting baskets on a side basket. The basketball got lodged between a wire at the top of the backboard. As Manute is walking off the main court after a pickup game, Connie, who didn't know Manute at the time, said Manute, can you jump up there and get the ball. Connie was joking because even Manute couldn't jump that high. Manute was so enraged by the comment that he ran off the court towards Connie, grabbed him by the shirt, and threw him against the wall, and said, you don't know me, you don't know me, I will hurt you. Everyone in the gym was so afraid for Connie. Manute then walked away, cursing to himself. Connie became the basketball team manager, and he and Manute later became the best of friends, because they both were very funny guys. Bol Bol if you read this, know that your father was a real warrior, who carried himself like he was a king. Fun fact: hall of famer Chris Mullin, had a younger brother who played on the team, so Chris Mullin would also hang out on campus, and he and Manute were inseparable. This is before they were teammates on the Golden State Warriors. I believe Bol Bol is his godson. After college, during the early 90s, I worked at the New York Times Newspaper. One of my good friends, and mentors, was a man named William Rhoden. A great man and human being. He was an award winning sports writer who covered the NBA for the newspaper. He was a former football All American at Grambling University. So he didn't just write about sports, he played sports himself. He would later become an analyst on ESPN, and on the show The Insiders, he would also later author, two NY Times Bestsellers, "Forty Million Dollar Slave The History of The Black Athlete", and "Third and a Mile the Trials and Triumphs of The Black Quarterback" (which coincidentally was published right before the NFL started bringing in a lot of Black quarterbacks). The day before I resigned from the NY Times in early 1994, he took me out to lunch. I remember him telling me 2 things. One, Micheal Jordan was forced to retire from the Chicago Bulls by the NBA, because there was big scandal brewing about his gambling, that would potentially ruin his career and the NBA. He went and played baseball to stay in shape, and save the MLB, who was striking at the time. Second, he told me that the NBA has a plan to make the league like it was in the 1970s, where most of the star players were Black, but many of the reserves and players off the bench were White. With a few White stars peppered in. And because the USA wasn't generating many White star NBA players by the early to mid 90s, the NBA would target European players. At the time I didn't think it could be done, because I had played against European pros and they weren't on our level. But sure enough, Mr. Rhoden was right. This is my theory on how the NBA accomplished this. One they sent their best coaches over to Europe to host basketball camps and clinics, and helped the Europeans develop a system for developing fundamentally sound players (similar to what the US did with sending Edward Demming to help Japan after WWll) . The major sneaker companies, Nike, Adidas, and Reebok, set up basketball academics throughout Europe. My younger cousin who is now in his mid 30s was a top ranked point guard in Europe as a teenager, growing up as a biracial kid in Vienna, Austria. When he would come to NYC to visit me, I would take him to the park, and at 12 years old, his basketball fundamentals were light years ahead of the older teenage players I would match him up against. The NBA also ramped up their Basketball Without Borders Program not only in Europe but also in Africa and Asia. While the NBA was putting all their resources abroad, here in the United States, all the top camps where American players learned fundamentals, such as Five-Star, the Nike Camp, Reebok Camp, and Adidas ABCD Camp, were eventually removed. Our predominantly Black kids were now being predominately raised by AAU basketball, which is nothing but glorified pickup basketball. And the AND 1 streetball Tour was being fed to an entire generation of players for almost 10 years. Basketball genocide. There is more to it, but you get the point. As a former NBA caliber talent myself who was caught up with basketball politics and forced to attend and play at a division 2 college, and had many friends who either played in the NBA or had NBA tryouts, I know personally there is more to the game than just the game. And talent recognizes talent, Bol Bol passes the eye test with me. If you watch his highlights, some of the stuff he does, I haven't seen another guy that tall do, especially with his ball handling and creative finishing at the basket. Is he as good as Wemby? Probably not, but who is? But, you cannot tell me that if a coach supported him and gave him more of a green light he couldn't be a star, he would be. His efficiency would be better if he played more minutes because he would be able to get into a better rhythm, and if he didn't have to always look over his shoulders at the coach wondering when he is getting pulled from the game for making a mistake on the court, he would play with more confidence (which his father Manute never lacked). That makes a big difference. Something is definitely going on. Someone somewhere in high places doesn't want to see him succeed, that's obvious to me. I now live in Orlando Florida and I watched Bol Bol do some incredible things last year when he played for the Orlando Magic. One last note: a former high school teammate of mine at powerhouse St. Nicholas of Tolentine HS in the Bronx, was Malik Sealy (RIP), who was teammates and best friends with Kevin Garnett (KG wore 21 because he looked up to Malik) on the Minnesota Timberwolves. Malik's father was Malcolm X's main bodyguard, who later had a nervous breakdown for not being with Malcolm the night he was assassinated. Malik was named after him. Malik Sealy was a beautiful humble Brother that was very business minded, more importantly, he was very conscious minded with knowledge of self. He also was killed driving home from Kevin Garnett's 21st birthday party. He was hit by a drunk driver. KG had just signed the biggest contract in NBA history, over 120 million dollars. Imagine if Malik Sealy would have lived and been in KGs ear giving him and other NBA players even more wisdom knowledge and understanding.

The thing is that Gianis grew physically and became a monster, not Wemby and Bolbol were super skinny at 19 years old, but Bol Bol is now 25 and still has not grown physically and his weight and body still the same. Bol bol therefore as no choice than to become à extremely good shooter like KD to become a superstar, his defence won’t improve much anymore and will always be muscled up in the paint and has to play the 4… very awkward for a team… Now the thing is that Wemby is now 20 and looks like he already put on some bulk seems he was drafter less than a year ago… time will tel but then if Wemby put on 15 KG of muscle 💪 it’s over, best defender with no chance for totter team to score around the paint, can play him at the 5 and makes the whole team smith with a 4 maybe not as athletic as Bolbol but with as good or ever better shooting quality (their is many out there) . There you go, that is why Wemby is way more valuable tha Bolbol, Bol Bol is kind of finish product (same age as Doncic). Wemby ceiling not yet seen for sure crasy to imagine in 3 year…
