The700Level passes on this
Sixers.com visit with celebrity boxing/
Monkey in the Middle/professional basketball legend
Manute Bol, who shares details of his harrowing
and completely unknown (until now) ordeal which involved
being comatose for four weeks.
"The accident happened when I was coming back from a women's basketball game (The Connecticut Sun of the WNBA). The driver was going too fast. I told him to slow down. Next thing I know, I woke up four weeks later. I had been in a coma. I spent six weeks in the hospital.
Slow down, people. Stop putting Manute Bol and others in danger. Of course, Manute himself tried to run over
Charles Barkley back in the day...
"One day there was a golf tournament in Philly. I was driving a golf cart and I hit him with the golf cart while he was doing an interview. I don't remember what Charles thought, but I thought it was real funny."
... so maybe this was just karma? Whatever, the moral: We need more Manute Bol in our lives.
