Bol Bol has all the height of his father and the skills of a guard

The son of former NBA star Manute Bol, Bol Bol is 6’11” and throwing down between-the-legs madness against opponents that might as well be toddlers.

THE son of late former NBA player Manute Bol, Bol Bol is just 16 years old but already measures an imposing 6’11” and is throwing down wild, between-the-legs madness during games against opponents that might as well be toddlers.

This is a teenager:

Manute Bol is high on the list of fan favourites from the memorable early 1990s era in the NBA.

Standing 231cm-tall, Bol weighed just 88kg when he entered the league but was a shot-blocking machine, finishing his career as the only player in NBA history with more blocked shots than points scored.

He was a humanitarian, donating most of his wealth to his homeland in Sudan as it endured an horrific civil war.

And he also took one of the most classic basketball photographs ever snapped with 160cm Muggsy Bogues when the two were teammates at the Washington Bullets in 1988.

Manute Bol died in 2010 at age 47 after being treated for kidney trouble and a painful skin condition but his legacy lives on through his son, Bol Bol.

Bol Bol is one of the standout players in his high school class but not for the qualities his father made famous.

Bol’s coaches at Bishop Miege High School in Kansas rave about his ball-handling ability, comparing him to reigning NBA MVP Kevin Durant.

He also appears to have better shooting range than his father, who only made 43 of the 205 three-pointers he attempted in his career — but bizarrely managed to nail six in one half against Charles Barkley’s Suns in 1993.
