RIP to a great man. If only more people had the giving heart of MB.
Good man with a great heart. RIP Manute.
RIP Manute.
Here's a great article on him from a few weeks ago:

Man, this sucks.
RIP Manute. He was a great guy.
The article said he had Steven-Johnson's syndrome. This usually occurs due to a reaction from a drug like dilantin. I have seen this in various levels of severity. I once took care of a young man whose entire skin came off including his fingernails. It is ever bit as painful as a burn. Some may say that they didn't need to know this much. I am very much a Manute Bol fan and to know that he had this condition adds to my sadness for his passing.
That's sad, btw, I turned off all pics. I hate spiders.... Especially videos of spiders.
What is the purpose of taking "dilantin" D?
Rip
RIP MB...
Bol, 47, dies from kidney, skin ailments
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- An associate of former NBA player Manute Bol says Bol has died at a Virginia hospital, where he was being treated for severe kidney trouble and a painful skin condition.
Sudan Sunrise executive director Tom Prichard says in an e-mail that the 7-foot-6 Bol died Saturday morning at the University of Virginia Hospital in Charlottesville.
The 47-year-old Bol played 10 seasons in the NBA and later founded Sudan Sunrise, a humanitarian group based in Lenexa, Kan., that promotes reconciliation in Sudan. Bol played professionally with Washington, Golden State, Philadelphia and Miami.
Bol was hospitalized in mid-May during a stopover in Washington after returning to the United States from Sudan. Prichard says Sudan "and the world have lost a hero."
Damn shame a great person like him dies young while so many other POS athletes live a full life =(
R.i.p.
This sucks big. In addition to being a decent player, the guy was a true humanitarian who really tried to help those in his native Sudan.
In fact, I read somewhere that sunk practically all his NBA earnings into helping his immediate and extended family, along with various projects and effort back hom.
He will be missed. R.I.P.

ripmost nba cats go broke on cars, jewelry & groupies. Manute bol went broke building hospitals.
RIP Manute Bol, he was a great humanitarian. He gave all his money away to other people and died des ute. His rent was paid for by Catholic Charities at the end. Heaven surely has a place for him.
All of the money he donated to charitable causes made him go bust, he's what all men should strive to become.
My condolences.
remember a 6ers game awhile back when he and charles barkely played for them in denver some time ago....looked so much leaner in person.sad……I once read that people of this size live short lives.
Dilantin usually is given for seizures.
